Bad Mommy

I'm not saying I walk on water here, but I have a huge issue with pet owners who do not take responsibility for their animals. However, I also have just as much of an issue with people who kill their animals with kindness. For example, if you can't afford to eat mac and cheese please don't spend a fortune on food for your dog. Don't send your dog to a vet if you can't afford to go to the Dr's yourself. Give a dog the right to die if they are suffering. Don't be selfish and keep them alive for your company. There is a fine line between loving and giving comfort and letting your companion move on.

Taya's owner is the worst owner, EVER!!!! She is pissing me off something fierce, and I can't say a damned thing. Her facebook profile pic is of Taya running around. It's one in an album where the other two Taya looks like crap. She is flat and her back is underdeveloped. One of her friends asked if the horse was her's; to which she answered yes. That horse is no more her's than the air she breaths. Then she talks about riding her. Stupid fucking bitch. If she goes near Taya, Taya will kill her. Taya is too hot of a horse for some newbie to be handling.

I am the only one Taya works for. Her head is coming down. She is salivating at the mouth, and she's starting to use her hind end. I don't have a ton of money, but I did manage to convince the owner that she should be on supplements. It helps Taya not be so stiff so she can make progress. However these can be rough on a horse's digestive track so I want her on an ulcer preventative. When I mentioned this to the owner she was on board until she saw the cost. Then she asked if Taya could take a half dose. I don't know bitch. Can you take half your meds and still expect them to be effective?

So here's a very talented and loving horse if you treat her right and that's just it. Taya's owner doesn't do jack for her. She has not been out to see her in over a year. She claims medical issues, but please. How about you come brush her or lunge her or do ground work with her?

Taya's owner allowed a woman to ride her. This woman did nothing to get Taya in shape, but took her out to a show and jumped her. I believe Taya was injured due to this. It's like trying to run a marathon without training first.


Taya could use a chiropractor, acupuncture and massage. She won't spend a dime on it, but will take her son to acting classes in NYC. She goes skiing and vacations in Martha's Vineyard. The horse isn't a priority. It's a status symbol. Sad.
