Redneck Hell

The weather has been simply beautiful which makes for lovely riding.  The only disappointing part is that I live in redneck hell.  What is that you ask?  Apparently in the south people like to shoot guns and my neighbors do this nonstop. Loud, earth shaking booms that make me cringe.  I seriously would rather go get a root canal than listen to that crap.  The horses have gotten used to it but I haven't.  There is nothing like making a lofty mortgage payment to live on our quaint property, commute an hour each way to work to so that you can live on acreage, only to come home and listen to that sh*%#.  So much for getting to enjoy the sounds of nature that you are supposed to get in the country.  Quiet country living?  HAHAHA that's a joke.  The shooting upsets me to the point I have considered moving.  I really don't feel like going through building again though and I am not about to board 4 horses.  When the day comes that Hobbs passes on boarding might be something I will consider.  For now I am stuck in redneck hell.

    Pluses and minuses to not having homeowner associations and city traffic. :-) It is great desensitization, though.

      True. And they do come in handy when I have a snake that needs to be removed.

    My barn is kind of in redneck hell too. I'm not a fan.

    As long as you don't get shot.. but I feel your pain, I don't live in redneck hell, but the horses do.

      The ones next door shoot too close for my comfort. I asked them to not shoot at night when my horses are out and they comply most of the time. I am thankful for a thick concrete block barn!

    There is a gun range right by our barn- I hear the popping any time I am up there but thankfully that is a controlled environment!

    Hopefully they tone it down as to nott drive you too crazy!

    Oh Florida, the more North you go the more South everything becomes. We have a lot of those "folk" in Ocala. Just a couple of weeks ago the next door neighbor, 30 ft away, decided to try out his new shot gun, on a bird in a bush... while we were all riding.
