Well with that last post you did offend probably quite few.
People here want genuine information, but you don't need to infer that they are stupid after you post that info.
I would be interested in what portion of those 500 horses you have done were on pasture or stalled and what is the type of horse owner you service? Tracks, show, backyard pets?
A simple floating here runs $143 so I doubt a specialist is going to be less.
