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.

Over indulgent parents without a clue in the world. However, at the same time, I can only blame her parents up to a point. WDW is old enough to know right from wrong and take the responsibility for the welfare of her horse, even if it's just taking the time to read and learn. She seems to think that they are just giant furry playthings. Also, I can't believe that someone would just buy her a horse! Where do I get in that line? :-D
