We have horses and plenty of cars in the driveway, but we are very budget conscious, and do most of the work ourselves, and search for deals on used equipment.

OKC is the land of horse shows. I bet there are 40 horse shows in the city each year. Add in the Rodeos and FFA events there is always something going on at the local fairgrounds. The parking lot is full of horse trailers and large pickups. The barns are full of high dollar horses.
Of course we have likely 25 or more gun shows at the fairgrounds each year. It is never empty at the fairgrounds.
One of the neighborhoods just south of ours is a gated edition. The lots are required to be be at least a full acre. Most are bigger. The average house in there is 5,000 square feet and up. Many mega million dollar houses in a city where a million dollar house is impressive. In some parts of the country a million just gets a tiny run down hovel.
