My mom want to get rid of MY HORSE

Question

sorry i meant confussion

Answer 1

your mom should sell the two horses that are hers as for your is you pay for almost everything for the horse i dont see the problem in keeping it

Answer 2

ask your mom why you can't keep the horse besides money. if she gives a reason then simply give it an answer. btw (dept=debt) lol I know its confusing to spell

Answer 3

Oh your life will be so much worse with 2 horses instead of 3.  Your life is so much more horrible than people who live in poverty, or in war torn countries.  Be appreciative that you're family can even afford horses, most people don't have such luxuries

Get over yourself you spoiled brat.

Answer 4

I can certainly tell that you're heartbroken over this.  I wish I had a brilliant idea for you, but unless you have some way to work it out with your mom, or maybe another close relative, I don't see how you can do it.  You are a minor (I assume), so your mom has the final say.  Does she know how you feel?  How about your aunt who is a vet...maybe she can help to find a way.  Good luck.......

EDIT....people need to lighten up and have some compassion.  A divorce is hard for a kid to go through...and it isn't spoiled to want to keep a horse that is already yours and that you love.

Answer 5

Wow.  First, might I suggest a novel idea....punctuation.  That was hard to read.  But anyway, I would suggest that you offer to move your horse to a boarding facility and pay all of his expenses yourself.  That way your mom wouldn't have a burden of expense from your horse, and could sell the other two to reduce the burden/pay off bills, although in today's market, she's not going to get much for a cripple.  Reading the level of care that you claim to give your horse, it doesn't seem like he's getting much in the care department.  Farrier once a year?  The accepted norm is considered to be every 6-8 weeks.  I also noticed you didn't mention veterinary expenses.  Don't you vaccinate your horses?  How about deworming?  I don't board my horses either, yet they receive regular hoof and veterinary care.  But anyway, to answer your question about costs, rough estimate what I pay per year per horse:  Feed/hay--$1200.  Farrier, every 6 weeks, say 8 visits per year, approximately $400 (and that's CHEAP).  Vet-vaccinations-- $95.  Dental--$77.  Deworming--$90.  So approximately $1850 per horse per year, and that's assuming there are no emergency vet visits for colic, etc.  Not to mention fly sprays, salt blocks, supplements...  That easily adds up to make the estimate more like $2K per year.

Answer 6

Ow... my eyes.

Was there ANY punctuation in there?

Answer 7

Ask the stables where you board your horses and see if there is any barn work you can do to help defray costs. Also ask your mom if you can keep at least one of the horses or only get rid of one of the horses and not all of them.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 8

Well, my dear; this is part of growing up. Your mother is divorced now. That means she is paying all the bills. Not just for the horses, but for you too. All your school clothes and supplies, the rent, the utilities, etc...

It is time for you to grow up. Your mom cannot support the horses any more. You are being very selfish.

A divorce settlement doesn't mean your mom got scads of money. She may be nearly broke. Which means YOU and she could be homeless, outside of the horses.

Do you think your mom knows anything about having something SHE loved ripped away from her? She loved your dad. I have no idea what the circumstances of the divorce were, and I don't want to. I just want you to see that it is NOT about YOU.

And remember, you can always go live with your father.  

Answer 9

*witness of bad grammar* I'm sorry officer i didn't see anything, it was so ugly i had to turn away.

Answer 10

dads a equine vet

moms a nurse

Answer 11

Try going on my profile and looking at some of my answered questions. I think I've done the price breakdown a few times.

Answer 12

If your mother can't afford to keep the horse then suck it up and quit acting like a spoilt brat. I had sympathy with you until I read your edits and now I think you didn't deserve to have the horse in the first place. Somehow I don't think your birthday money will quite cover it. However if you are content to go without electricty and for you and your mother to live in squalor so that you can keep your horse then go right ahead.

Oh and who the h**l are you to say who has and has't experienced pain. Do you honestly think you are so special that no one else has ever felt pain like it before.

Answer 13

I'm going to guess you're probably not old enough to really be able to convince her to keep the horse. I'm not sure how the divorce turned out or if you see your dad but you may want ask him if there's any way he can help you out. A REALLY GOOD IDEA! Would be to find a barn that would let you do self-board (where you buy your own feed/hay and muck your own stall) or where you could work off your board. It's a lot of hours, it's not glamorous work at ALL but you could keep your baby, especially if the farrier rarely needs to see him. Maybe you could even find a farm (OR! a neighbor?) that could put your horse on pasture board! (that's how mine is housed and he's SO much happier than when he was stalled!) Pasture board is cheaper and most easy keepers prefer it.

Good luck, kiddo, and don't let ignorant people who don't understand the pain this process is causing bring you down further. Don't even bother responding to them. They've never hurt like this.  

Answer 14

Unfortunately - if the horses are in your mother's name, then she has every right to sell them. The best thing you could do is get a lawyer and press charges to get compensated for everything you've done - IF you have receipts. But.. I strongly advise you NOT do that. Repeat: I advise you NOT to do that.

Your strongest bet is to sit your mom down when both of you are not busy, and talk it out. Explain that you love your horse, and that your willing to let her sell the other two. Explain that kids that do physical activities have a tendency to do better in school, not do drugs, etc.

Another option is to tell your mom you are willing to buy your horse from her - and say that you'll give her x amount per month to pay for everything that is needed - food, water, etc.

Good luck, and I hope you and your mom work this out.

Edit: If it is in your name, then she has no right to sell it. Tell her you will call the police on her if she attempts to sell it. That's like stealing property - it ain't allowed no matter how young you may or may not be. Another thing, is if anyone comes over to look at the horse - tell them that. Say "This is my horse - it is in my name. I do not give my mother permission to sell this horse to you or anyone. I am sorry you came out here, but he/she is not for sale."

Answer 15

If i were you, i would move the horse into a boarding facility and try to work off board or pay them. Horses are very expensive, so even if you are paying most everything your mom still has to pay some. It doesn't sound like you have the money or knowledge to have horses at your own place. [no offense]. If there is not enough money to take care of the horses, then you should make the right decision and let them go if you can't do it. But if you can then pay all costs and try to keep him.

and its supposed to be at least 1.5 acres per horse

hope that helped
