Have dreams of owning a horse? Now's the time to buy. It's bad out there! Soaring hay costs and a crippled economy are causing horse owners to try to bail out -- but the problem is, no one's buying horses. You can't give them away.

I'm lucky to have two "air ferns" who can grow extremely fat on pasture grass... And for now I have enough pasture to keep them. But winter is always comin'... And hay prices have doubled in the past year and they continue to rise.

There's an interesting article about this problem in GoSkagit.com.
