I'm not sure what the case is with this young lady at our place, but like so many others with horses, they get in over their heads and dump that problem on the most convenient person or place.
So after all the years in this business, and at the worst economic time, we now have 2 requiring the full care we give all ours and boarders, we now have an unpaid bill for board, and the liability and financial responsibility for 2 horses we do not own, nor have any use for, not sure about resale, you can't give em away is the way I see it.
There have been locally, several busts for horses being mistreated, charges against some who appear to deserve it given 170 horses at one place, that obviously went in a bad direction, absentee owner took the rap for people supposed to be doing the right thing. Point of mentioning that, if you run a stable and things are tight, you know damn well the equine gestapo of activists, authorities and so on, are watching. Things are tight here, boarding, lessons, sales are not very lucrative and I think a person is half crazy to even pursue any kind of equine business, even if they have been at it for the years we have, the costs alone are staggering, and you are always walking the line, then someone dumps on you, breaks their word, agreement, you're out money you expected to have and now have the liability, they get off without a hitch, and no recourse to pursue them or take action. Thats a huge tilt on the scale in their favor and these darned PETA types and anyone else needs to consider that. In our case the income and of any additional horses that is not received to go against the expenses puts us in the red, its that tight or shut the doors on the place, then what, that lousy paycheck you were getting to operate a facility, offer a service, self employment and maybe a few things you do like about a situation like this, disappears and as soon as you get behind, one horse is thin, there's a henchman waiting to put your head in a guillotine.
I've never seen it as bad as this, but these are the times we live in, you would think that there should be an allowance in the laws or what have you to make sure a person put in a position like this, has some recourse, cause those 2 abandoned ones could easily sink the ship.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
