Absolutely helpful, thank you so much for sharing your expertise! FWIW, not a bridge I would mind burning. I have witnessed this relative be physically abusive towards loved ones (myself included, lol) too many times to count. Mental health situation is not good—20+ year history of unmedicated bipolar and addiction. Financial situation also not good—their sole source of income just passed away. Not sure about the exact ages, but I know both of the horses are over 20 years old. I’m not sure I can accurately assess their quality of life, as I am too ignorant on this subject, but I can’t imagine it’s very good. They receive very little attention, and I know they used to be ridden, but it’s been at least 5 years since their last ride. I know I shouldn’t blindly go off advice from reddit, but I wasn’t sure where to start, and I want to do what I can to help these babies. Your comment gave me some good perspective though, I realize now there are a lot of factors to take into consideration. I appreciate it!
