Ok I got a horse and My wife aka Mrs. Goatie dont know yet.
   
Not sure how to break it because when I brought home the 4th dog she said she would kill me if I brought home another animal. now mind you I didnt bring it home and it is not just mine there are 2 other owners, and we got it free.
I did joke with her and when she asked what I did the other day I said went shopping went to the bank got a horese and brought it home, and rented a movie. she said "you brought home a horse?" so I replied no I didnt bring one home. so technicially I didnt lie. 
I know it aint gonna save me.

Married almost 25 years, the only advice i have is:
be afraid....be very afraid.
That and remember the 5 rules of marriage for men.
1: You were right
2: I was wrong
3: It will never happen again!!!!
4: I don't know WHAT I was thinking
5: I'm sorry!

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Yup so dead. I told Sam the last time he brought home ANOTHER pet if he did it again he would sleep in the car with the damn pet.
(Then he brought home Shelby dawg, just a tiny neglected puppy. The kids said CAN WE KEEP HER?!?!?! And ofcourse Sam said well it's up to mommy  . But I couldn't say no!)
Now Shelby dawg is my baby. But I was pissed for a while.

Sell it and split the profits. Then buy her a nice gift with your share of the proceeds, and hope she never finds out.

Hey Mike give her my number while she's here and I'll take her to see the Clydesdales. After seeing those monsters she won't think anything of having your regular size horse around

Bad part is, its a draft horse too not quite as big but pretty huge. about 16-17 hands
Cant sell it the others wont go for it. Im having a delemon.
He is extremely gentle and easy to ride.
Also have 2 people wanting to use him to breed their mares. so may be able to make some money from him.

Mike, does your wife like horses? If she does, she might spare you. My advice: show her the pic of the horse, take her to see it and hope that she will not be as mad then...
I definetily want to hear what will happen next!

So you not only got a horse, you got a horse the size of a rhinoceros.
Man, you are dead, dead, dead.

Tell her the last dog you brought home had a sudden growth spurt while she was out of town.
- OR-
The horse just followed you home one day.
-OR-
That you saved him in the nick of time from the glue/dog food factory and knew that she would do the same thing because she has such a caring and big heart for animals facing a certain death.

Why don't you just phone her and tell her you've been offered it for free and about the money making opportunity - I'd suggest being vague about WHEN exactly you were offered it and the fact that its somewhat of a fait accompli!
Other than that Goatie all i can offer is to take up a collection for flowers for your memorial service....

Married almost 25 years (and being female) I'd say if you can afford it's upkeep and it doesn't poop on my carpet, you should keep it.
(That thinking is why I am presently living with 3 bass guitars, a regular guitar, two pianos, a dog, a cat, a husband, and a teenager)!
There are too few people in the world with your compassion.
I'm glad you kept him.

Well I just dont know if I should let them meet first or tell her now and suffer. I think she will like him as gentle as he is but he is a monster and intimidating to some. His feet are so big it looks like he is using 4 river turtles as loafers.
