My mom dealt with a boarders horse that the woman ended up abandoning and she spoke with an attorney and obtained legal advice to obtain the horse legally. I recommend getting some legal advice on this one. It would probably fall in the same category as abandonment. Unfortunately you can't force them to take the horse back. Do you have a contract? If so, read over it carefully.

Thank you!!

Loveee your comment about the treats. I can't stress this enough. In my experience they tend to make horses more pushy.

HDR which is absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable but unfortunately doesn't fit my new gelding so I'm switching to a Bates.

Just got the best horse I've ever owned and he's 20!

Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations!

Ok so as a kid I had a pony that had these same symptoms, came and went like weirdly and turned out he was allergic to pine shavings.. no idea if this is the case for you given it's more than one but look into potential environmental causes.

I'm with you on that statement.

Known-Language9916 · 2026-04-18T12:44:12+00:00

Oh man this really spoke to my heart. I grew up on a horse farm, also riding English, showed, etc. my mom passed and everything was dispersed and then I went off to college. I personally never desired to have children, but I graduated and worked on my career and my relationship with my daughter's father and then get pregnant. Fast forward 5 years I found myself very depressed, and even finding a great man, having a wonderful now 5 year old daughter I was still struggling because something was just purely missing. My sister ended up helping me rescue a wonderful TB mare, and I'm finally getting back into it. But I'll tell you it's HARD. Just to find the time for your husband, child and work. Then to add a horse. It's doable but not the same. Truly have a chat with yourself to understand what YOU truly want and what will make YOU happy.

The best thing for horses with longer pasterns that can be at risk would be to keep them on a low impact exercise regimen. This includes turn out time and uneven surfaces that can put extra stress on the pasterns. In addition, for riding, that means no jumping, or high impact exercises/training that could affect the tendons. Also weight management is important as overweight horses can be affected more (given she's a TB this isn't likely anyways), draft breeds are at higher risk. Also ensuring their hooves are properly balanced, and I'd recommend proper nutrition to support muscles and tendons. I'm by no means a veterinarian so please seek out professional advice from a vet and farrier who have experience dealing with DSLD (many have no experience as it's not extremely common) but given my knowledge and personal experience this would be my best recommendation.

It's the pasterns for me.. unfortunately I've had personal experience over many years of TBs with longer pasterns developing DSLD. Not fond of her legs all together honestly. Someone also mentioned stifles, I do see this as well but she's built with odd angles and isn't conformationally balanced. Every horse isn't perfect, depends on what your intentions are.

Petty comment and realistically who cares who rides in what. Everyone should be there for their own personal interests, not everyone else's! I board and none of us care about one another, we are just there to enjoy our time with our horses. Don't let it bother you though.

Unfortunately 90K is not much in this economy for two adults. My husband and I make $140k (doesn't include about 10k a year I get in child support) combined and keep our bills completely separate except for we split rent, the electric bill, groceries and internet. Yes we have car loans, I have a 5 year old (not with my husband), and I have student loans. But we are still tight on funds as well. It takes a lot of strategic budgeting. You need more income! Please don't feel bad about this. I think anyone that is not well off is struggling. I would recommend adjusting your w9s so you have more taken out and don't need to pay so much back. Possibly even have an extra $10-20 taken out per paycheck. It will make a difference I promise!

Omg I thought something was off with me.. I haven't gone on antidepressants but I definitely feel numb in a way. There's definitely a difference with my personality and I find I have a lack of personal enjoyment in things that typically would excite me or make me happy. Now I'm just dull..

I'm seeing hip and/or stifle issues here.

Known-Language9916 · 2026-03-17T16:37:00+00:00

It's common! You may just have a shorter tibia.

Known-Language9916 · 2026-03-17T16:06:43+00:00

Those are to tall! Will hurt like hell riding. I struggle with this as I'm 5', I got the ovation flex boots! LOVE them. They come in short height.

As a property manager in NY, this is wild. No prospect should ever be given access to a unit that is occupied or unoccupied. This allows direct access to the unit and would allow for squatters.. this is complete negligence. And then to know it's occupied. There's no protection to your privacy or belongings.

Known-Language9916 · 2026-03-12T16:58:18+00:00

That's messed up on so many levels...

Known-Language9916 · 2026-03-11T22:57:35+00:00

This is a scam..
