Do you ever meet someone who is just to weird for words — nice, but there’s something slightly off about them?  The guy who owns the property where I board my horse is kind of like that.

First of all, he’s always talking about how he needs money.  He’s retired but he owns several rental properties, as well as his own home.  He’s got rent checks coming in from multiple places, not to mention $1200 in horse board coming in every month (before deducting the cost of hay).  He also has other luxuries, such as the portable hot tub in his backyard.  Now I know you can get some cheap hot tubs, but someone who owns one is still not someone you expect to be always talking about how they need money — and this guy is constantly trying to sell you the clothes off his back.

He also seems to be kind of a fruit loop about horses.  He’s supposedly had horses on his property for 4 years, yet sometimes I don’t think he knows the first thing about them.  He’s had horses longer than I have, and he’s still clueless!  It’s troubling sometimes, but it’s a great location and the closest boarding facility to my house.  Even if the guy is a bit clueless, my horse is well fed, always has clean water, and I’m close enough to check on him daily for any other reason.  All in all, I guess a slightly (but harmlessly) crazy guy is a fairly small price to pay for the location and the convenience!
