Mister, would you please help my pony?

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '26

There's no such thing as poor people that owns a pony, those are expensive.

2

u/Jaded_Vegetable3273 Mar 03 '26

It exists. Horse keeping doesnā€™t have to be expensive (certainly not as much as certain influencers want people to think) and I have met quite a few people barely scraping by that had a horse. Most horse people are just your average joes.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '26

Doesn't change the fact that poor people don't own ponies or horses, poor people can barely afford a place to live or food, if they can afford horses or land to have them on, they are not poor, so yeah, poor people don't own horses or ponies.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '26

You must live on a different reality, and you think poor people ca afford ponies or horses just supports my statement. You don't know shit about the struggle my dude.

1

u/Jaded_Vegetable3273 Mar 04 '26

Sigh. Sure. Whatever. Iā€™m rich off my ass and there totally arenā€™t horse people from a variety of economic classes and backgrounds. Happy now?

Rich, what are you talking, we talking about poor people, not rich, or middle class, all you do is show how ignorant you are šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Caucasians.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '26

Most of the average joes that you know that have horses and ponies are not poor.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '26

The average joes live on apartments. Not on a farm where theres horses.

1

u/Jaded_Vegetable3273 Mar 04 '26

Do you know how many people board horses? Yes, apartment-dwellers can have horses too lol.

Are you done yet lmao? You just look like a clown with all these comments and insultsā€¦

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '26

Is not about apartment owners dumb ass. Do you even think before speaking or you just love to sound ignorant af. Apartments dwellcan have horses too šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ what ddoes tgat have to do with the fact that poor people, that can't even afford to eat. Lol how stupid are you.

1

u/Jaded_Vegetable3273 Mar 08 '26

Bruh, I literally just answered your question šŸ¤£ youā€™re calling yourself dumb at this point. Stop jumping everywhere. I myself have lived in apartments and owned horses. Yes, itā€™s very common.

u/Fruitcake6969 Mar 02 '26

Then you should eat your pony

u/Fruitcake6969 Mar 03 '26

But how can you be poor and own a pony in America? Unless you live somewhere underdeveloped i feel like this is really rare. I canā€™t afford a pony.

u/Jaded_Vegetable3273 Mar 03 '26

Iā€™ve met quite a few people that were even on fixed incomes. I donā€™t exactly consider that to be a sound financial situation, but a lot of times their horse was what kept these people living. Lots of budgeting. They generally find cheap board (pasture, self-care) and will work or barter off the amount instead. They will barter for hay too. Vet bills often went on a credit card that they slowly paid off. The youngsters will become a ā€˜working studentā€™ for a trainer in order to afford lessons, board, or extra riding privileges on barn horses.

Most people arenā€™t usually that broke, but they arenā€™t well to do either. Like I said, average joes. They just budget or get a second job, or spend their extra ā€˜hobbyā€™ money on a horse instead of things most people would spend it on. When my husband was in the military (enlisted) we had other military people ask us how we afforded horses. They were often spending the same amount, or more, on car payments!

I will say that, personally, I have found my dogsā€™ general vet bills (vaccines, dentals, etc.) to be more expensive than my horseā€™s. Similar to how people can spend a lot or a little on their dog, people can spend a lot or a little on a horse.

Edit- I will say, if you are in certain HCOL areas, the expenses can go up drastically.

u/Fruitcake6969 Mar 03 '26

Thanks for your response. Despite my earlier jokes itā€™s my dream to own a horse.

2

u/Jaded_Vegetable3273 Mar 03 '26

No problem! Iā€™ve noticed that between social media influencers and those weird ā€˜my sport is more expensive than yoursā€™ competitions, the general population now thinks that horse ownership is unattainable except for the elite. Which is really sad, considering how many lesson barn are seeing fewer and fewer students coming in.

If you do seriously want to try horses, I can give you some tips to help you get started? Horses come with a pretty steep learning curve, so itā€™s strongly recommended to take lessons at a good barn for a while before buying, which also takes off the pressure of commitment and responsibility. There are also people that enjoy horses but have no interest in riding or driving and thatā€™s ok too. :)

when I was a kid my pony learned to rub against barbed wire fences while people were riding him to get them off... ponies are dicks.

2

u/Jaded_Vegetable3273 Mar 03 '26

lol! Well they certainly arenā€™t dumb!

1

u/hamfist_ofthenorth Mar 03 '26

Sounds like your pony just didn't like you guys

1

u/InformedTriangle Mar 03 '26

He just didn't like being ridden lol. Very friendly guy until someone tried to ride him then he'd just slowly amble to the nearest fence. I don't really blame him in hindsight

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 Mar 02 '26

Nah they love people, all genders, they're like elephants

If you're poor you can work on a farm and meet one or Google where horse rides are near you, it's not like a poor poor thing but it's like $40 if you can make it there.

u/Moon_Pye Mar 02 '26

Yes they are but sometimes in the best way.

Source: I have a friend who is seriously into horses, and while she's definitely weird, it's the good kind of weird and I love her.

u/vintage_cycles Mar 02 '26

Move to Eastern Europe, we still have horses in God forgotten villages here. Life may not be fancy or too romantic, but you can get your horse love.

u/adsj Mar 02 '26

Same. But watching this video makes me think that horse people cry all the time.

See if you've got a place nearby you can volunteer at. That's how I got to pet horses regularly.

u/Mindless-Scientist82 Mar 02 '26

I think we should start buying horses again instead of cars.

u/smolpeensadboy Mar 02 '26

Despite the internet ridicule of "horse girl" I'd be one in a second if I were stable and horses rich. The misogynists would stay away and I'd live happily ever after.

I spend more on my dog then my friend spends on his horse. Lol. They are just big dogs.

u/mothmans_favoriteex Mar 02 '26

LOL my dad always rescued horses an rehomed them, and even that was so expensive šŸ˜­ he eventually had to give it up as a hobby bc we just couldnā€™t afford it but I know he misses them so much. They adored him

u/libbieonthelabel Mar 03 '26

You could volunteer at a therapy stable if you live near any. The stable my daughter rides at is a nonprofit and is always seeking volunteers. Itā€™s a great opportunity to learn about and gain exposure to horses.
