Not a Lot To Say Today

hello everyone

there is not a lot to say today but i will give you my horse paragraph

Horses
By Katie Hiatt

I have always wanted a horse. Horses are fun, horses are cool, and horses are Expensive! For the first year you have a horse you will have a little bit of… well a lot of extra costs, for example curry combs, halter, and saddles. All the grooming supplies cost about 75 dollars all together. Vet expenses cost about 300 per horse and year but your horse could get sick unnoticeably and the cost to fix your horse could be very expensive so it is best to have about 14,000 dollars extra just in case. Then there would be the Ferrier. Ferrier expenses get more expensive if you add horseshoes. Without horseshoes it is usually around 175. Horses eat hay and grain. One horse usually goes through a half a bale of hay and 3 lbs of grain per day! The approximant costs of this would be 680 per year. Some common illnesses cost a lot like colicing cost a lot but sometimes it still dies. Some of the most common horse illnesses
Colicing -which is the most deadly disease that a horse can get there is a cure but sometimes it does not work.
West Nile virus- this disease is not very serious but very common.
And Monday morning disease- Monday morning disease weakens the leg muscles, but not as serious as colicing. One of those would cost around 10,000 dollars. For the total of the first year of owning a horse it would be around 18,709 dollars. I could not afford to feed and keep a horse by myself in fact my parents couldn’t either cause if they could we each would have our very own horse already if we had a place to put them, so I will just stick with dancing.

please note: I want you to know that i am going to use nicknames for my friends & Family from the Dragon Keeper Chronicles. example my real name is not Kale that is just my nickname.
