Agreed. Kids pick up riding. What concerns me is she doesn’t know anything, hasn’t learned anything yet in all these months, and has parents who won’t invest anything, including even regular footcare, in a horse. I don’t think she needs to bring another horse into that situation.
I saw the thread where she’s looking at an Appy. Seems like a good horse, $1,000. I didn’t know someone else might buy it. Sheesh.
And the bit thread, she has a curb and a snaffle, she says, and one of those will have to work because they won’t buy her another one. The curb is one of the freebies that comes with a cheap bridle. Who knows what kind of saddle she’s got... whatever they found in the attic of that barn when they moved in.
I agree, she definitely needs coaching on care and tack, and her parents need their heads bashed together, “if” what she says is true....I still have a feeling we don’t get the whole story.
