Lilly, A Quarter Horse mare, was owned by some people we knew. She was in terrible condition and her pitch black coat was at the time brown spotted and mud coated. She had terrible hooves and was in a paddock with 7 other horses. She was terrified of people and having er ears touched. Her owners had gotten her from a ranch in Montana and she had her winter coat. She had never even seen clippers but they decided to beat her untill she behaved. Lilly then kicked him in the head because of the harsh treatment and almost killed him. Since then they continued to beat her to get her to do what they wanted. We had heard about the thing with the clippers and knew that she had been traumatized but we didn't think it was that bad untill we saw how they handled her. They borded her at my house. Some other people we knew bought her. I was the only on that could handle her and she trusted me. The horse i had bought from the prevevious owner had a really bad back problem that they had never treated. The ones who bought her were afraid of her because of how she acted. They bought her because they figured she was the same way to others as she was for me. After a while, they gave her to me for my 12th birthday.

I know that the abuse that I explained didn't seem bad but that's just because i'mnot good at explaining. It really was alot worse.
