This pretty much sums everything up. I too had a look through other posts and was confused!
I don't believe she's a troll. I actually think she's genuine, although with a lack of basic English grammar, a habit of changing story or stretching the truth maybe...I genuinely think she does have an ex racer she bought within 2 mins of clapping eyes on. Scary stuff
I agree. OP does mention having PTSD on another thread and actually, that could account for some of her haphazard writing style and lack of continuum. I should know, I had it for a decade and it can have disastrous effects on memory, recall, rationale, concentration and behaviour.
From past posts, if I remember correctly, it seems OP has had three or four different horses through the course of this month, a mixture of loans and purchases. OP, if you are still reading, are you aware that your method of collecting horses is unusual behaviour? That going from not owning, to taking on loans and buying horses weeks apart comes across as worryingly irrational?
Horses are sentient beings. Picking them up then effectively discarding them for the next pretty one that catches your eye is not responsible horse ownership. Many people deal in horses and many more might buy up projects to work on, then sell to good homes but it does not sound as though you have half the experience necessary to do this. So, what are you doing?
You said your last one was a handful and that you didn't want to ride. You were given advice on what to do and instead, almost immediately bought up another handful or worse on what sounds like a whim. Again, what are you doing?
If you keep this up, you will end up with a collection of ruined equines with little or no future ahead of them. Is that what you want? I don't believe it is but that is the future you are creating. I do believe you care for your horses but that means almost nothing, if you don't understand how to transfer that care into responsible horse ownership - or aren't able to because of your current mental state.

Maybe just that area of Scotland! We aren't all ga ga
I'm Scottish too and I can both spell, punctuate and remember my own age.
I would like to find out about getting autocorrect to change your age for you, however, because the last 10 years were a mistake and I would like to amend that!
Lastly it's nice people on here want to believe the best (!) of this poster but I'm afraid the simplest answer is usually the right one and these threads are classic troll threads.

Just a quickie to say Thankyou! Thankyou to all of you! I'm bored at work and you're all making me chuckle that much my customers have started giving me funny looks!
I'm going to sit in the corner with my biscuits, this really is getting me through an awful Sunday!

Oh Jesus Christ.
OP you sound like a total eejit to put it politely. You seem to have very, very little experience at all. How much a horse eats hay isn't a sign of settling in, it's a sign of a horse being a horse. You seem to be avoiding any reasonable question, so that just gives more flame to the fire that you either 1- have no clue or 2- (which I really do hope is true) you're just a very dim 12 year old getting kicks out of lying about horses.
You need to go back to riding school, and desperately.
Who the hell gets an ex-racer without a clue even what reins mean to them?! Even if it wasn't an ex-racer why would you get on a horse you've had for less than a week and don't know?!
I wish this was entertaining but it just scares me to think that OP may not be lying and two poor horses are going to be wrecked.
Do pop us a video OP.

Have just read though all of this - jeez ! There are no words and I'm a beginner but know far more than this person.
I suggest Admin use this as a new forum thread under the Title "how NOT to own horses" as a warning to others.
Again just jeez !!

Has it not occurred to anyone that the op might have a mental illness! They may need help and all the negative comments could have a very detrimental effect on them. Op if what you have written is true then please don't get on this horse again and seek a good instructor!

I thought there was a law against relationships with animals? ...................sorry couldn't resist!

From other posts she seems to be from the Glasgow area which isn't too far from me - very worrying, but please rest assured we aren't all like this - honest!
