It's...Thanks so much for the encouraging words! It's helpful to hear of others interactions. Flying is his seasonal touring occupation, the potential for frequency is weekends. I am hopeful eventually it will be a non-issue. Finding land of this size/price range/general area is extremely rare these days. We are very fortunate, even with a giant red motorized mosquito buzzing around.aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-689872777639220238.post-34370323126250044002016-05-12T18:44:49.684-05:002016-05-12T18:44:49.684-05:00We don't have helicopters, but we do get the h...We don't have helicopters, but we do get the hot air balloons a lot. Occasionally they spook the horses, but not usually unless they're very low and let the air psssshhh sound go off. That sends them a flying, but they're not stupid about it, they just run away and watch with wide eyes until they go away. This will be just one of many obstacles that must be overcome.

I'm sure you can both work something out. We once had a small boarding business across from a small airport. The horses really did get used to all the air traffic.
