C8H18 tells us more.
OP here. here's more info: of course the pasture the horses were in didn't need to be watered, and they had two lawns with sprinkles. The majority of the rest of the property was newly planted vegetable gardens. They were in the process of installing a watering system and it wasn't hooked up yet. Everything was being watered with hoses. Btw, how the hell did you guys come up with house plants? I didn't have access to the house, and why would I mention six acres if I was talking about indoor plants? Come on, people. I did call my neighbor's after they pulled this and they explained that husband thought wife had told me already while wife assumed husband had told me. They didn't realize their mistake until they were about to pull away. So, innocent mistake, but had they told me sooner I would have had the chance to mention I've never been able to keep a plant alive. :(

pee on the plants to show dominance
I would automatically assume they only mean indoor and/or potted plants, so that's all I'd water.
If they had outdoor potted plants, only if the hose reaches. And, if they have a nice back patio with a big grill, you gotta make sure that works every day. Can't let the food in the fridge go bad, either. ...that big screen t.v. ain't gonna watch itself.
We used to hire someone to take care of our horses and water the plants.. If you're doing it for free maybe you should reconsider haha
I highly doubt they meant water the fields. as someone who has lived on farms my whole life, no one does that unless they have an expensive crop and irrigation system. if there are plants inside, water those. the fields will be fine. on another note, as one commenter suggested letting the horses out to eat all the grass-don't do that, especially if they aren't eating much grass at the moment as a sudden change of diet can cause several serious health issues. anyway, best of luck with the ponies! :-)
That's some shady shit from ur neighbors
Time to google "rain dance"
Damn, beat me to it.
Solution: don't do it
They might have meant in the house only? Otherwise they would have said water the gardens.

Hopefully with that much land it's as simple as turning on a sprinkler system. I can't imagine they hand-water all of it. Best of luck!
Water you going to do about It?
