I had to go to the Hospital..time for a Gypsy Update

[critter crazy]

I am so glad you are okay, as it could have been much worse!! Did you not ride her before purchasing her??? If so, how did you not notice her issues?? I would never buy such a horse,a s I am not a professional trainer, and this is exactly what this horse needs. I sure hope your dad has enough experiance to deal with her, but one must wonder, as he allowed you to ride, and work with such a horse. I also must ask, while working with such a horse, why another horse was even allowed in the area?? I am not trying to be mean, i am just concerned, for you and the horse.

critters, I know you're not mean at all but maybe those questions should be asked in PM? she already has a lot on the plate to answer right now and may feel a bit overwhelmed, you know? so that way she can respond you whenever she wants to. just my twocents.

by the way, what's heaves?

[critter crazy]

Hey I already asked the questions, If she would like to rspond Via PM that is fine.

Heaves is like COPD in horses. It is constant occuring airway obstruction. The horse pretty much coughs all the time.

[critter crazy]

Gina Ilike you just fine, but I am not going to Delete a post just cause you dont like it! If karen wants me to delete it, fine, until then, It stays! some people need a wake up call!! she could have very easily lost her life!! would you have prefererred that??? People need to know their limitations when it comes to such Large animals as horses!!!


COPD- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (google it)

Haha its okay everyone! No arguments needed, I understand both your sides and no I don't mind answering those questions. I am okay, no broken bones, I am lucky it could have been alot worse. She could have crushed my head instead of kicked it. And I know its not her fault at all. She was scared because of the other horse that snuck up behind her. First question, no I did not ride her before purchasing her (stupid I know, now I know I should have) I went by the seller's words and he said that the horse had been ridden before at a stable and was fine. As for her attitude, no that was not apparent when she was at the horse farm becuase she was around 20 some other horses so she was acting like a normal calm horse then.

My father, no he's not experience, but the place we are boarding her at, the owner is experienced. It just so happened that yesterday he wasn't home. And when it comes to the other horse still being in the area with Gypsy...that is all my parents fault. I told them a million times that they should seperate the horses from her when they are doing stuff. But they wouldn't listen to me...and now see what happened? So it was a 'told you so' kind of thing.

Anyways all if fine, I am really sore today from being rolled on the ground and kicked but I will mend. And I'm just glad this didn't drive my father to give up on her. But it will be a little bit before I go back out and do much with her. I need to heal at least first.

Thanks so much for all your concerns and I certainly don't mind answering the questions.

Good to hear. Once again I am sorry it happened, I know how much it sucks to get run over by a horse. Been there and done that! And it isnt fun.

Glad to hear your dad will have some help, I sure hope this gorgeous girl can turn around for you all. She sure is pretty.

I cant even begin to imagine how your dad feels about the whole thing. I guess it was definitely an eye opener for him. I would definitely hold that over his head, at least till christmas! He he he he!!

lol oh I will hold it over his head, remind him to seperate the horses. It was horrifying for him. He was so close to me, yet all he could do was watch his daughter get trampled and go to me when the horse was done. Its the most worried I've ever seen him before. And my mom was there too, she was crying, they said they couldn't stand the feeling, like they may have been watching their daughter get killed right in front of their eyes....but the good part is I did not die lol

Shais mom, I'm not sure if he did that or not, cuase she was friggin hyper and frisky when I got her off the trailer, she was trying to pull me everywhere. After thinking about it, I just started to realize that this farm is like a puppy mill, 80 some horses, that he doesn't know much about, he just sells them. The main ones he makes sure he knows about is the registered ones. And Gypsy wasn't registered.

Sounds like he might be a Horse trader, which is just about the same as BYB. The only difference is, they dont breed usually. they just buy up horses cheap, and turn them back around for a profit! Not caring about the horses themselves, just the money. And of course, they get their horses cheap, cause usually they have issues. Medical or other.
