I don't see what's so funny. It sounds entirely sensible to me.

I'm rather sorry you thought that sexist. I suppose it is, I mean, a lovely young boy, however willing would not get me to keep horses, but it's not the case that "domestic partner" is a position subject to legislation. I may be guilty of ageism and am certainly guilty of all sorts of perversions but, as the father of myriad educated womenfolk, I rather pride myself on not being sexist.

Nonetheless, I like to ride and I rode much more when we rented horses. My advice, and it's common advice here www.chronicleforums.com is that, if what you care about is riding, and especially if you what you care about is competitive riding, rent the horse. That way you can spend the cost of the tractor on coaching.
I'm really quite surprised that you would ignore bad grammar to that extent.

And I take issue with the idea that an old man's fantasy is a sexually aggressive 20 something (although the cooking is good).

I'm thinking more along the lines of.....


<OK aggressive 20 somethings might be nice>

More would be better? I dunno about that.

I confess that I've grown to like having horses. Still if riding is your thing it's better to rent a horse than to own it.
