sorry, but I wonder if that woman's kids will remember that attitude when it's
time for her to go to a nursing home. After all, that's the exampleshe showed
them - if you can't use 'em, pawn 'em off on someone else, get 'em out of
sight, and don't waste any time or money on 'em. Older horses CAN be useful
sometimes...and they can also be happy in their deserved retirement with their
buddy/buddies in the home they know. I don't have much respect for people who
choose to pawn their old horses off on others. Shame on them; it happens WAY
too often.<<<<
Hi Karen,
I agree with you with what you said. My mom passed away in Aug and my dad is
85 still alive and still moving around but slow and still has his mind. My
brother wants to put our dad in a nursing home. Plus my brother is slowly tear
my dad's house apart room by room. I keep telling my dad I want him to live
another 5 or more years. My brother wants our dad out of his way so he can have
our parent's house to sell. I told my brother if anything funny happens to our
dad I will have the police knocking on his doorstep.
As for old horses we have a 20yr old arab hackney he will died on our farm. We
could not even think about giving this old horse away to anyone. It would be
mean to the horse leaving his people family and his horse and barn friends.
Plus this old horse is family and we treat all our horses as part of our
family. Our 20yr old horse acts like he is 5yr olds he still trots everywhere
and keeps the youngsters in line. Plus old horses it's harder on them to
adjust to a new home and sometimes they die earlier then they should because of
a broken heart. I have know a few olds horses that die a week after they were
sold to a new home.
