I really agree with this last February I went to York,
Nebraska to look at an older mare as a horse for my grandkids. She looked
terrible her soles had dropped and her feet were so deformed she was very thin
and standing in knee deep mud. She had this help me look in her eye so I did.
She is the greatest horse for my grandkids she takes great care of them, she is
still a little thin but her feet are almost normal she just loves to trot down
the trail with her bares on.

Cherie, I agree with Bruce. You need to let this
go.
Over the years of working with the SPCA, owning a
boarding barn, (what the hell WAS I thinking?) and just past experiences dealing
with horse people, I have learned.....well, you get the drift.
Some people think they are sitting on a gold mine
because they have a few horses when the fact is they are just digging deeper
into an empty well. So they try to make up for that by taking advantage of
others, at the expense of the horse.
If the horse came to you in such bad
condition, why would you want to send him back to that? Take care of
him and good things will come back to you, I promise.
If we didn't make mistakes, we wouldn't learn a
thing. Consider yourself edjeecated. ;)
