Ok first of all let me say that this is not my horse, I 'visit' him and do basic care for him (ex. refilling buckets, grooming him, ect)... I had originally gotten in contact with the owner to see if I could ride but it never got to that. So I just visit him, give him some company, and give some basic care... I am on otherwise good terms with the owner but communcation lacks.
I live in New England and we had HEAVY rain the last few days. I visit the horse usually a few times a week, weather-dependant... today I dropped by and his stall is a MESS. The owner normally doesn't clean it well, but it's at least relativley dry and she will clean it well about once a month (sad I know.) But it was very dirty to begin with and now is SOAKED, with a compleate 4-5 inch puddle in the middle.
I have considered reporting her to animal control for neglect before (other reasons as well but nothing major like starving h**e) but things always improve for a while. (see more)
