Great line from the barn manager
Brad (barn manager) is quite humorous. Yesterday we went up to pasture board with the vet. I've never been up there. Big shelter divided into two, pasture (obviously), round bales, heated water troughs, and grain feeders. There is a covered space for tack lockers. However, certainly not as nice as the barn, and the horses can get hargey bargey. Lots of drafts and draft crosses. Brad said "pasture board is the Section 8 housing for horses." That just cracked me up.

Re: Great line from the barn manager
Funny! Unfortunately many of the residents of Section 8 housing aren't as healthy as pasture boarders. And what is this and how do you pronounce it??? "hargey bargey"

Hargey bargey is a British term for "horses not respecting your space." Bargey is pronounced like barge (as in a ship) with an ee on the end. Hargey rhymes with bargey.
