kalei, glad you're still okay - nothing too much in pain and no broken bones - rest very much!

as helping gyspy, don't you think you're gonna have a talk with the seller? may not worth it but I think he should pay the price for it. you got hurt!

don't worry, didn't see this as an argument, the questions were edited out though. sorry for hjacking. ((be careful)), hope things work out! and for gyspy too. keep us posted okay?

Goodness, sounds painful.
I am happy to hear that you all didn't give up on Gypsy. I bet she has the potential to be a wonderful companion. She's already got great looks, now we're just waiting for her personality to shine.
Good vibes headed your way for a quick recovery!

Glad you didn't get hurt worse. I'd consider hiring a professional trainer for a month or two to help you deal with her issues. Consistency and firmess will go a long way. I hope you guys are able to figure out what to do about her problems and I really hope nobody gets hurt again. Horses definintely are dangerous if they have that kind of mind.

I know you are probably upset by all that has happened, you wanted a companion and friend and instead got an horse with mental/physical issues. But I bet you have sure learned a lot about buying a horse for the next time around and I hope it works out better in the future. Always have the owner ride it first, then try it yourself. Always do all the things you'd want to do at home like saddling, bridling, picking out hooves, bathing, grooming, loading in a trailer, etc., before you ever buy. And have a vet check done as well before handing over your hard earned cash. Sounds like you got her fro a horse broker and that's too bad =( I feel bad for you that it turned out like that but I hope she comes around and things go better for you.

I'm glad you weren't hurt worse. The hair will grow back. Sorry she has those issues but it sounds like you plan to stick it out, thick or thin.

She's a beautiful horse.

Wow, I also got tears in my eyes reading about this. Thank God you are okay!!! I am sorry you and your parents had to go through that. I guess we learn our lessons the hard way.
But I do hope Gypsy can come around and be a great horse for you and your family.
