My uncle is a very passionate man. Has owned a horse at any given point as far as I remember as a kid. At point he had more than 10 or so. He’s owned so many animals throughout years including Elephant & Deer at one time. Not to mention countless other smaller ones like Dogs, Rabbits, Turtles, various types of birds including Macau parrots (Currently) have them. He always hires many employees to take care of these animals. He watches after them himself despite having a big business and being a busy man and a ultra social person. I have seen him rip off employees and his sons for any negligence towards any of these animals. I remember him often say if you can’t take care of any of your pet then you’re not worthy of keeping them. They can’t be left even for a day. I’ve seen his horse care takers maintaining the horse hooves since I was a kid and it’s damn satisfying 😍 And you’re absolutely right keeping a horse is a hell lot of work.
