So I am just going to dive right in. I copied this from my post on MUSTANG. I just wanted to get my rant out in two places, technically three if you count the one I did to my friend about this subject.
As some of you know we sold two of our horses, Rainn Wilson and Ella. Rainn Wilson being the baby that I have had sense the day he was born. Both I rescued from being sent to slaughter (Rainn Wilson was before he was born)
So the people who bought them weren't supposed to take them until the 15th of September.
They took them yesterday without even letting us know. No phone call, no nothing.
And I questioned them about it on Facebook, not even a sorry.
It would have been nice to say good-bye to them.
But to top off my being upset, this is the status of one of them: lasted 5 sec on a broncon horse named raine
THEY RODE HIM. He isn't even trained, not even 2 and a half yet. We made it clear about the training at THREE years of age in the ad. They even assured us that they had a trainer ready for when he came of that age.
I know that I can't do much, he isn't my horse anymore, well they both aren't. It would have been nice to know about them leaving so soon as I wasn't even at home, I was at my dads. I am just really upset right now.
I confronted one of them about it on facebook (not the riding them, I didn't know about that until this morning). And not even an apology for not letting us know. I said a phone call would have been nice. All I got for a reply was 'Ok'.
Shame people are these days. NO Manners at all.
On top of everything else as well, Hank is going blind in one eye. Most of you know Hank and how he almost died last year because he got something called 'plutomic fever'. He is just a really old guy, we aren't to sure if he can last another winter. He hasn't really gained much sense he lost all of that weight last year.
I am not to sure if I will be posting today, it depends if my sister gets me irked when she comes back from getting her class schedule.
There are just some days where I wish I could put on a power ring, some nice red fast running boots and become the Flash Green Lantern. Well, most days are like that, but today I actually want to use it for some good violence.

I know what you mean, it is bad to start a younger horse off too early. especially if he isn't accompanied to them yet.

yeah I know. And it is a brand new area, new smells, new people, new horses, everything. He was probably really scared.

I know I don't really have any experiences with horses besides taking horse back riding lessons when I was younger, but I know what it feels like to lose an animal you love unexpectedly. It almost happened with my dogs. I hope you get down to the bottom of this whole mess of a situation and make sure they're okay. And Hank, too :(

Hank is just a very old guy xD We bought him and they told us he was 20 years old. When in fact he was probably born in the 80s or late 70s. He is just a guy who is retired now, living his life with his very own mare lol, it will probably be pretty hard on her when she goes. She is the mom of Rainn Wilson and she was losing it apparently when they took him. Poor lady.
I am going to get to the bottom of it no matter what xD, even though my days here are pretty numbered. My dad is a cop so we can go at the place where they are at (the place they are boarded at is for military people.. though they aren't military so it is an odd situation there) is public sort of. But with a cop car they can't really say anything lol

I feel so bad for you  I understand. That's horrible! He is probably really scared. Stupid people. I know how it feels to have a horse like Hank.. My horse, Sugar, was blind in one eye and started to become fully blind and she could hardly walk. We had to put her down. I hope Hank's alright though. |

awe! I am sorry Krowned!!
Hank should be all right, in the winter we let him eat on the bale all day long until he starts to wander around and gets into the neighbours yard... sometimes he goes a bit senile, what can I say? lol He should be better this year though.
People are stupid, just so soo soooo stupid
