Hi every1. Im pretty new here, but got something on my mind that thought id share!
When u buy a new horse, its one of the best things in the world right? You get to spend time with him/her, grooming, riding, bonding.... basically getting to know him/her and becoming best friends, right? Once u've got that special bond with ur horse its such a fab feeling and all ur hardwork and effort seems to pay off.
What i want to know is how someone can buy a new horse, only own it a few weeks and then seem to lose interest?!?! Not ride, not come down the yard (or if they do, quite literally just look over the gate to make sure the horse has all 4 legs, not even go and say hello) and basically not spend anytime at all with their horse. They are never going to get that special bond or trust with their horse. I just dont understand it. So unfair on the horse. Surely if u havent got the time or commitment for it, then u wouldnt buy a horse in the first place!?!? Sorry its just a situation i know of has upset me as i feel sooooo sorry for this poor beautiful horse, he has such a kind temperament and he's only a baby so needs the attention. Every day when my friends & i get our horses in he runs down after us wanting attention. Its just not fair.
