    Dude !!!! You got screwed by your wife....not Swift LMAO

    By "free" lease. I assume that you will have to provide care for the horse yourselves. Without owning it. Am I right?

    Just a little FYI. The average cost of owning a horse (free or not) is $50k over a 10 year period. Those figures were from 1998. I'm sure they haven't gotten cheaper to care for.

    Good luck with the new job though. :biggrin_25520:

    Yeah I know LOL... but its a means to an end gotta make some sacrafices .. dang just realized I am gettin the short end of the deal.. I have to help pay for a horse and still work my arse off... on the bright side... I GET TO GO DRIVE AGAIN LOL haha...

    As far as the horse.. that first deal fell through but now another one with the same people has come up... its gonna run us about 150/month and since they are her friends that gets us full care including feed... I am sure that it'll only last a few months and then she'll get tired of having to go out and work the horse and help clean the stalls and stuff... at least that is what I am counting on LOL !!!!

    LOL... The disadvantage I have is that my wife used to have horses and run cattle and rope and all of that good stuff... I am just crossin my fingers that with having not done it in like 6-7 years and having been pretty much either sitting in an office or watching TV that she'll just be to tired to keep up with it... but at the same time it'll be one heck of an excersize program for her LOL

    Thanks... It's funny just how many anti swift people there are compared to pro-swifties !! I still can't wait to get started with them.. its always nice to hear good things about them though that makes it a little more promising :yes2557:
