BTW - Purrfect Bluff in on Friday at AQU - looks good  |
How about this math to really simplify it. If using the 450 horse number he gave, his horses averaged 14k in earnings a year. Think you can keep a horse for 14k a year? Obviously this is a simplistic view but what about the ones that dont earn? If you had 2 horses and the other earned nothing would that 12k pay for him too?
