Home. I guess I just wouldn't see the purpose of having a horse elsewhere, but then I enjoy getting up in the morning and looking out in the pastures and seeing them. Horses are actually pretty easy to take care of here in the Midwest: in the summer they are on pasture, period. No one has to feed them. They have 100 gallon water tanks, those need to be filled a couple of times a week, takes about 30 minutes to get them all filled. None of my horses "need" grain, so in the winter they just need hay thrown for them. Takes about 15 minutes twice a day.
The DOGS are the hard ones, have to have someone here to care for them. If I didn't have dogs I could just go, but my dogs are inside so someone has to be here to care for them. My kids or a neighbor kid (older teen) comes and stays at our place when we're going somewhere. I dog-sit for my kids' dogs in return, and pay the neighbor kid $20 for a weekend and he can eat anything he wants, watch Dish, and have his girlfriend over.
We have 8 horses, 3 dogs, a housecat and 3 barncats and we can always get away, up to 2 weeks easily.
