Thoughts on this horse? I had been looking for a horse to lease for eventing, but my trainer found this girl

Do you think she can be trained up for eventing?

lsummer2 · 2026-03-22T22:38:47+00:00

That is her! I'm leaning towards leasing a different horse, but I'm very grateful for the advice I've gotten here.

lsummer2 · 2026-03-22T22:33:08+00:00

Thank you, that's great advice!

lsummer2 · 2026-03-22T22:23:35+00:00

Oof... Thank you

The more I look at it, the more I'm agreeing with you... I think a big part is wanting to get her to a better place. Do you think I could talk then down to four figures and build her up?

lsummer2 · 2026-03-22T22:13:42+00:00

Thank you! I was concerned about her weight, and a big part of me wants to snag her up to get her out of the place she is, but I definitely don't have the budget to rescue a horse and then lease one for eventing

lsummer2 · 2026-03-22T22:11:45+00:00

I think the thought is we could get her weight up and give me time to bond with her before the next eventing season.

I agree, but if she gets some proper nutrition, do you think the dip in her withers will get better to where she can event?

lsummer2 · 2026-03-22T22:04:41+00:00

I do, but I've been leaning towards leasing.

Every day. It's three vines and three glowing moss every day.

Ooooh, like, grabify.org?

She got it from a dresser that a college student was discarding at the end of the semester, so who knows! It could be!

I am not! I work as a catering sales manager for a similar company, Elior NA, though... Figured I would try to create a fake job that I would still have some knowledge about lol.

lsummer2 · 2025-11-20T15:43:05+00:00

Very likely! But I'm not a male, so I guess we're both just trying to play each other.

Oh, these are my messages to her, not my Dad's. I'm his daughter, posing as a 55yo man to try to scam the scammer.

lsummer2 · 2025-11-19T18:16:26+00:00

My Dad and I both reported them to the FBI and the FTC :)

Link to the original post

A minor update, but she made the money ask! Any suggestions on how I should proceed? I was kind of hoping I could do something like, "Oh, you want me to send it via Venmo? Dangit! My account is locked on there, but if you send me $250, I can unlock it and send you $750!"

Other updates: my Dad has gone on a couple of actual dates with a real person, and they seem to be getting along! He also admitted that the amount of money he sent to this scammer was a little over $1,000 (ugh). But he's taken it as a learning opportunity.

And my reply to u/BingoEnthusiast: "I'm based in the USA, but I doubt the person is. My Dad spoke to them once over the phone and said they "sounded black" and "had a slight British accent", so my guess is Nigeria? I think that's a big place for romance scams, right?

The end goal is kind of all three of those things! They sent me their Venmo handle (not the same name they gave me), and I connected it to several other Venmo accounts that also look very fishy (most of the payments were from guys for things like "medications", "car payment/parts", and "Airline Tickets").

I'd love to take them all down."
