These are eight of the fourteen that made it out West without being sold. The other six live in the shed outside. There used to be 28, when we had a full basement:




Now the rule is: if you want one, one has to leave. Curbs my enthusiasm and spending, and keeps things neater and more "normal" whatever that is.
So I guess technically that if they are kept inside they are less likely to be ridden, but they're also less affected by weather and thievery.
