I am sure Boulder is way different than the big city of Denver. I think Denver has probably added about a million people since we lived there. It was a bad fit for us. We struggled, so we had to beat a hasty retreat back to Arkansas to friends and family. There is a saying that "it's not what you know, but who you know." That was very true for us. Eventually, with the help of friends and family, we found our way.

Interesting stuff for sure. My granddaughter just got back from Colorado. She was there for the graduation at the Air Force Academy. Her cousin on her Dad's side was a graduating cadet. I asked if she saw the President take a nose dive. She said she didn't as she was looking at her program when it happened, but then heard all the oohs and ahhs from the crowd. She sent me a video of one of the gliders landing at the Academy. I am guessing you have probably seen those gliders flying about before.

Quite a surprising factoid. Here it is only 8:30 and I've already learned something. I would never have guessed that a county with over 300,000 residents and a major state university could lead in this statistic. I would have guessed Marion County, Florida (if you drive in just about any direction outside of Orlando, you will encounter horse farms around every corner), or even Hunterdon County, New Jersey (that's where this thread started before it moved West) or a number of counties in Wyoming or Montana where there aren't very many people so the per capita number of horses is easy to achieve.
