Thanks so much. The word "agist" is curious. I've heard it used in articles about Alpaca and Llamas but never with, say, horses.
Just found this on Wikipedia, "To agist is, in English law, to take cattle to graze, in exchange for payment. Agistment originally referred specifically to the proceeds of pasturage in the king's forests, but now means either (a) the contract for taking in and feeding horses or other cattle on pasture land, for the consideration of a weekly payment of money, or (b) the profit derived from such pasturing."

That is interesting. You are right. The term is commonly used in the alpaca industry, but come to think of it, I have not heard it used with horses. Good catch there!!!!!!
