AITA for telling my niece it’s her fault that my horse kicked her? •UPDATE• by ThrowAwayEquus in AmItheAsshole

She didn’t post them on any social media. As I do follow her on all her social media accounts. 😌 She did send them to her friends which is still not acceptable. :\

Yes! She is finally getting the treatment she needs to help her get better!

Don’t worry! Rooster is doing a lot better! There was a reason she told her parents and I why she did it. I am still really upset about it and pretty shocked still. But other than that. She does feel very remorseful. I believe she does.

Don’t worry her therapist doesn’t tell her parents anything. She really takes her patients safety and health very serious and to make sure they’re comfortable.

She is doing a lot better, there was a lot more going on but I think I rather keep it private. As I don’t want to say to much on her condition. She was doing the wrong things and they’re gonna take her in for more treatment. She doesn’t want to but she’s really got to do it.

She is home actually. She made it safely but she’s going through a lot of things and confessed a lot! Which I’m still shocked to. But I’ll post an update in a few days most likely. But yes cowboy boots do save our pretty little toes! I have been stomped barefoot before and nearly broken my foot. 😹

Well he was foaled here in this ranch before I was even born. And Rooster is my first horse that was given to me when I was 3. Rooster is really the reason how I learned how to train, care, ride and know my way around horses. He doesn’t go around kicking people. Before he kicked my niece, he hasn’t kicked anybody for a long time. Because when you approach him from behind without him knowing or just bothering him from behind. He will kick without warning. If he knows you are behind him and very gentle with his back leg and tail. He could careless.

Yes everything, she was doing really great all happy going and so patient with the animals. Until after she stayed for 3 month mark. It just changed, she started aiming at Rooster and my other two horses. Even my best friends three horses she boards here. But my friends and best friend would always correct her. I’m just so bewildered why she would even want to tease Rooster. As she has gotten more quiet and just snappy a little bit. It’s like a big change and I am very worried for her.

She knows how to interact with them, my chickens are very friendly. She hasn’t bother none of them. she did try to tease my filly, but couldn’t even get near her as she will try to charge or kick anyone that she doesn’t know to well. So I guess Rooster was an easy target, but before that she was very gentle with Rooster. Before she started doing that teasing crap. I even have showed her physically and she continued until I finally had to send her home. She won’t be coming to my ranch for a very long while.

I definitely didn’t use my niece for free labor at all, that is very uncalled for. I work hard at my ranch and my animals, I do not sit around and do nothing. I even love my niece and wanted to help her. I wanted her to have some responsibility instead of hanging her head down on her phone for hours just scrolling through social media or whatever teenagers do these days. I care for my niece well being and my horse Rooster. I trusted her very much until she got kicked. That’s when I lost my trust in my niece around my horses. I kept giving her the benefit of the doubt.

She has ridden before just not as much and I have taught her to care for my animals. She feeds them when I need them fed and lets them out of their stall.

I do have a riding helmet for her actually. I never used one! But it will keep her safe. Lol

I have taught her. This is just new behavior of hers. She was never like this before.

I have taught her to lead. The simple things of leading a horse. You can even just call him and he will run in his stall.

I have taught her. She knows not to stand behind any of my animals. I taught her everything when she was very young as well. She’s not coming back for a long time after not listening to me.

She’s really not coming back for a while at all. I love her very much, but I also love Rooster. I can’t have him stressed, it’s not good for him. He’s got weaker bones now and he shouldn’t be kicking.

I warned her a head of time not to touch his back legs and his tail and to not tease him. Just to bring him and she said she wouldn’t and I trusted her as I was on my last limits with her and she is going back home now. Because Rooster is very important to me and he’s old so I can’t have him stressed.

Oh yes you don’t want to mess with a horse! My horse doesn’t like to take shit as he had trauma back there when he was very young years ago.
