I’m not trying to be harsh or catty, but it makes my brain short circut knowing that someone would sell her a horse knowing that she knows so little, with zero opportunity to improve. I’d be more than concerned if my horse went into that kind of situation. I say this out of concern for the welfare of the horse, not as an opportunity to ridicule the person.

I agree. On one of her earlier threads talking about selling Boomer and getting another horse, I suggested she shouldn’t get another horse unless her parents made a commitment to spend the money it will take... lessons, tack, basic horse care... it would seem they thought they could get girlie a baby horse and never spend another dime.

I said Boomer has been very low maintenance and an easy keeper, hasn’t needed trimming but every six months or whenever they can get someone over to hack at his feet, and hasn’t needed a vet. A new horse may not be so low maintenance. I wouldn’t put a new horse there till there was a definite attitude change.
