I totally agree with “NOT” giving a horse for Christmas. Because they are as they say:”For Life!” Whether it be yours or the horses, they both can AND will be a financial and emotional challenge! ALWAYS-ALWAYS-ALWAYS DO YOUR HOMEWORK-DO “ALOT” OF RESEARCH of whats out there “BEFORE” investing in a “LIFE TIME” of devotion of your whole being(physically-mentally-emotionally-financially). Horse Neglect/Abuse/Abandonment is “NOT A JOKE”–“ITS VERY VERY REAL.” I’m a horse lover and I cry very hard when I see what the simplest of common sense could’ve done to save many of them from suffering! My suggestion for those people would be for them to go out and find a “PET ROCK!” At least there’s no punishable crime for discarding a “pet rock” and a “pet rock” won’t die from malnurishment or maltreatment.

I totally agree, most people think that having a horse is like having a dog or cat. but real truth is that they are alot more expensive to take care of and when the time comes for a vet call or extra hay and feed, they cant afford the cost AND the Horse suffers.

Good article. It’s true that a lot of people don’t understand what they are in for when getting a horse, sadly.
