Good Move...

So being out sick, I missed a lot out at the barn... and not in a good way... Apparently two of the boarders took their horses out on the trails and one gal got bucked off her horse as the horse was bolting back to the barn... She fell and hit her head on some railroad tracks, went to the hospital and was found to have a mild concussion. She is OK now, thank heavens, but how scary is that!!!

Now she has admitted that her horse knows that she isn't strong enough to hold it back or control it. And the horse walks ALL over her... Once that horse gets its head it's all over for her... She loves the horse, but the horse is way too much for her. There has been too many bad manners left in the open and it's way beyond repair. So she has decided to go ahead and sell the horse. Good Move...

Why a good move??? Well, because horses should fun and relaxing. Now the horse is NOT 100% at fault... The owner did not work the horse nearly enough and she knows that now. That these animals are not like hamsters where you can just pull them out when you think you feel like it... But again, this relationship is too far gone. And frankly in this market there are just WAY too many GOOD horses out there to be stuck with one you don't get along with... There is no shortage of horses... LOL Good or Bad!!! It's just finding one that matches a certain skill, riding and experience level...
