Furious

I shouldn't be surprised. But I always am. The same previous owner of Joe and Thor who carelessly dumped them when they started having health problems is doing it again! She's dumping one 22yr old gelding that's blind in one eye and going blind in the other. She's also dumping a couple of more because she's "downsizing her riding program." WTF is all I have to say.

Dont' tell me you rescue when you use them and then sell them. You "adopt" from a rescue and then "rehome" with a contract that won't hold up in court. It just makes you feel like you're a better person becaues "you're finding them good homes". What a bunch of BS.

I don't have the money to go pick up the gelding going blind. I did email her in hopes that maybe she'd cut me a deal and I'd go get him. We'll lose Joe in another month or so and I was planning on putting Thor out in the big herd. But if there's another horse Thor could protect (since this other gelding is going blind), it might make things easier. Or I'll stick him in with the mares and see how that goes!

My heart goes out to these oldsters that people keep dumping. Makes me FURIOUS!
