Zooey Deschanel 'ruins' horse

[shadeofshyness]

A few friends sent me this link this morning because it involves horses and my woman-crush Zooey Deschanel.

Bit of an odd story with no detail but if it's even remotely true then who loans a horse for 13k! Apart from a celebrity with too much money I suppose.

Leasing horses, rather than loaning them is more common in the US and also here in France, than it is in the UK.

And yes I can well believe that a lease was $13k - it's just over $1000 a month which could be seen as a really good deal, if the horse was a school master

It's quite normal to lease competition (hunter/jumper) horses in the US, and 13k is nothing You're looking at 100k+ for a top one!

And to me it sounds like the horse owner just wants to cash in, because she knows Zooey can foot the bill. Have you seen Zooey competing? She jumps 2'6 absolute tops. I doubt the story

Sorry just had to read this as I'd never heard of anyone called "Zooey". Is that Zoe or something else? Bit of a bizarre story - looks like someone jumping on the bandwagon as a "celebrity" is involved.
