shes not a responsible owner. when the horse got sand colic the other week, i got the vet out against her wishes, she wouldve just left her there to possibly die
it was only when i threatened to kick her out of my paddock that she agreed to have the vet out the second time that day. i couldnt just leave the horse to suffer, i wouldve paid the bill myself if it came to it.
im currently feeding the horse against her wishes too. yes i know i shouldnt be, and i can get in trouble for it, but i cant just go there every nite to feed red in the same paddock and leave her to starve. And the owner just wont listen when i try to tell her that an OTTTB cant live on watergrass alone!!! there no nutrients in it. so its hard enough for me to walk away, knowing she wont get fed, without having to worry about her going thru the fence. i will get the blame becoz i AM a responsible horse owner, and im also THE horsey person in my family, having always worked at a TB stud im expected to know everything
which of course i dont!! so therefore mums best friend seems to think becoz the horse is in my paddock anything that goes wrong can be blamed on me.
if the horse did starve, itd probly be blamed on me even tho i told her to feed it.
anyways, like i said, i now it wont be my fault if she runs thru the fence, but i will feel bad. im gonna put her in the cattle yards coz theve got tall wooden fences, load red up and leave and the lady who owns my paddock put her back in the paddock when im gone. hopefully it all goes well
