This entire thread has made me chuckle and shake my head, all at the same time.

Delusions of grandeur hit us all so hard when we're trying to be cool online.



As to your unsupportive parents, you need to get a grip. You're grown. You have a roof over your head. You have the ability to go get a job and pull your own weight.

Your mother is PREGNANT. SHE'S GOING TO HAVE A BABY. You are not a priority. Sorry pal. You should make HER a priority and think about HER for a minute. You should be asking what you can do to help, she probably feels like crap and is exhausted. You are being a spoiled brat. It doesn't matter one freaking second if you don't think she should be having a baby. It's her life, not yours. She wants to have a baby, or whether she doesn't, isn't actually your business. At all. She's an adult. You're an adult. Get off the nipple and go stand on your own two feet. Don't take another dime from them, or even think for a moment that they owe you squat.

There are literally millions of Americans that make their own way. Make yours, or shut up and put up. Take better care of the people that are taking care of you. Whine and moan and complain all you want, but I'm not buying it. If you want "emotional" support, go to a safe room and get a coloring book.

I won't even bother to give you examples from my life, well maybe I can't help it.

My father has seen me run barrels once in my life. Once. After the hundreds of runs I have made, once. He's seen me once.

My mother 'loves' to go watch me run, but then has something snide to say. Sometimes she mixes things up and is sulking in the pickup when I get done running because we've been there longer than she wanted.

When I wanted a 'barrel horse' in highschool, I got handed a $600 weanling and was told to get after it. I loved that horse, she was mine. When I was a sophomore, my grandfather got me a two year old that I trained and took to college rodeo with me as a five year old. He was a grade Hancock bred hot mess, but I loved him so much and he ran 2D times for me as fast as he could go. You've had the opportunity to get on a good horse from the get go. You should be able to make one yourself now without nearly as much guinea pigging, because you know how a good one is supposed to feel.

You have been handed more opportunity in your life then I can fathom. I moved in with my boyfriend in college, and promptly got a huge dose of cold air from home. No money for school, no vehicle, no money horses, no money for food, no money for rent. I lost 25 pounds because we just didn't eat. When it looked like I was determined to stay in school and have my horses going, the folks softened up and helped me, but that was two hard years later. Two hard years of 45 hour weeks at two jobs and full time college courses.

So please, get a grip, get some grateful into your brain, and go hug your mama and ask if you can clean her house. It doesn't even matter if in the long run she doesn't seem "appreciative" enough. Maybe then you'll know how it feels to give someone some effort, and end up feeling taken for granted.

Barrelhorsehelp1 - 2017-06-06 11:05 PM I was gonna write that at the end as a 'P.S' but figured if I posted what happened I'd be the spoiled sliver spoon fed brat that isn't grantful for anything But yes I gave them every dime, cash. They replied with "about time, he was crippled and never won any money. Where's the other 5k at" I sold him for 5k less than what we paid Him being crippled is he had a abscess btw
Sorry.....no way you sold a crippled problem horse for 35K ..... Here are your own posts about this horse.....



6 yr old gelding, hasn't been hauled consistently till this year. (I bought him in February) vetted clean in all aspects. I know everyone thinks they have the next world champion but this gelding really is a Diamond in the rough. One minute he's winning rodeos and barrel races against tough people, bottom of the 1d at super shows with 600/800+ and the next he's bowling for barrels.

He's ALWAYS been a worker, I've never seen him run past his second and third barrel. But here lately he's just shutting down before he gets to his barrels AND cheating! Normally you could feel him quick a couple strides before he turned and get kick him that extra step up, but now he's shutting down AND cheating.



Uused a psychic (Toni) and all is fixed ....



Needs a bit that will work for him



NOW....you can't catch him ....



He won't eat and probably has ulcers 



He is off in the front.....



And ages fast ......bought him as a 6 year old in 2016 ....now......

My 8 yr old gelding has stopped running.. which isnt like him to say the least. quick back ground info... bought him in Febuary 2016.. he was patterned well and hauled to small local jackpots where, he ran in the 1D pretty consistently, but CREAMED barrels. couldnt leave a barrel up.



Just change his head gear .....



D*MN .... the farrier ruined him ........



Alas ...... Hairline fracture to pastern bone. It's a 4-8 week lay up but vet has me on stall rest till Monday so we can get better x rays.. he's been on stall rest for almost a week and the swelling started yesterday morning.



Please don't try to BS us here....... 

I was thinking the same. No way she sold the horse that fast with all those problems. No vet would make that horse 100% sound and no one would spend 35k on a horse that was "dead lame".
Not buying it. Either OP was lying the whole time about everything, or parents put the horse up for sale for her and she was whining about it on here.

OP: Twisting the story to poor pitiful me is not how you win in life. Lying gets you no where but found out. 
If your parents bought the horse, your parents own the horse and you were simply a jockey for their horse. If their horse sells then they get the money. That's how it works. Welcome to Barrel Racing. 
No way you sold him. If you're posting that you sold him to try and redeem yourself then shame on you. The only way you can even possible start to redeem yourself is if you actually tell the truth. Welcome to adulthood.

It's hard enough to sell a sound horse for $4000 let alone a lame one who blows by barrels for $35,000.... and it's been a matter of a few days since it was stated that she wouldn't ever sell him.

Barrelhorsehelp1 - 2017-06-05 10:30 AM It's the apartment on the property. I don't live in the house with them but yes I live under one of there roofs, for free. 1 horse isn't mine, I have a 2 yr old that is getting sent off end of this month for 30 days then coming home and being sold, then I have my open horse. The funds to care for my two and even my moms isn't the problem, the problem is I can't stand to go home or have any kinds of problems and try to vent to my parents or ask for help and I'm told 'sell the worthless horses'

I would love to hear their (the parents) point of view here, I cant picture them being the way their sounding here, you live free in a apartment on their property, you have a 40,000 dollar horse, its not fair to be calling her parents a_holes when we really dont know the story here, theres always two sides and they must have a reason they dont support having more then 2 horses.. Β Β 

Yes they bought the horse, I was more than thankful for it!! I still am. But just because they paid for him doesn't mean I deserve to hear crap about it every single day. If they didn't want me to have horses they shouldn't have bought me one in the first place.

I make good grades, I don't drink I don't smoke, I don't party, I'm not pregnant. I literally do nothing besides ride my horse(s)

I don't ask them to buy feed, I don't ask them to put gas in my truck I don't ask them for vet bill money, I don't ask for new tires.

my boyfriend or I pays for everything, we pay $200 rent for the apartment, I pay my board for my horses and HER horse which I don't complain to my mom about feeding because we only pay 200 in rent.
I PAY FOR EVERYTHING ELSE!!!! How is that not spamming on my own two feet??? God forbid I ACTUALLY need some help. Everything else includes, insurance, horses, clothes, food, phone, everything.

My parents don't like horses because they say all horse people are trash, it's not a way to make a living and it's expensive to make no money back. It's a hobby and as they say "your brothers have grown out of their hobbies it's time for you to sell your horses"
They think the entire horse Industry is all crooks, they haven't been to a rodeo or show in YEARS. Don't care to hear how i did, don't wanna hear if something went wrong. There's no money in it and it's pointless.

Even when I was 15-16 they HATED when I'd ask for horse stuff for birthdays or Christmas. It's just the way they have always been

Easy fix.... Dont mention horse stuff to your parents. Dont ask for horse stuff for xmas or birthday. If they are too harsh, stop the conversation. You are at that age, you need to be weaned off your parents and become an adult. If you cant stand being around your parents or their negativity, move. My brother moved the day he turned 18, he didnt get along with my parents under one roof. When he moved and became independent, his relationship with them got better. If you cant afford horses, then sell them. Take a break and come back to it when you can afford it. I took 3 years off from horses because I literally couldnt afford a newborn/daycare and the maintenance of a horse. You have the opportunity to change your situation, go out and do it!

How are y'all gonna tell me I didn't sell the horse????? Or that he isn't not sound?? That makes no sense?

I did sell him, he is sound. If I knew how to make the pic smaller that I'm trying to attach its from the vet the day I left stating his a bruised hoof with a abscess making it's way to the coronary band?

Even though I don't need to explain myself to ANY one you.
they girl that bought him, leased him for youth world and has BEEN wanting to buy him long before this post, they jumped on the offer when I text them. Keyboard warriors!

This will be my last post, I'm busting selling all my other crap. Ya know adulting like everyone suggested!

Take things worth a grain of salt. Nobody knows your situation aside from what you have put on here. Everyone pokes and jokes and plays off one another. We are all the nicest a$$holes. No reason to be affected. Do whatcha gotta do.

I don't understand how the OP doesn't see that her parents ARE helping her out by allowing her to only pay $200 in rent. On top of that the OP is complainging about having to board her mothers horse. I remember in a previous post the OP built a barn on the Boyfriend's Parents property and is allowed to keep horsesd there for free. 
Am I missing something? 
How are your parents not helping you? 
What would happen if you and your BF broke up ? Would you be able to support yourself? If not, why not? What are you doing in order to help support your own self? 
Did you know that even if me and my husband got a divorce that I could pay my own bills with no help at all? Always plan for the worst and hope for the best. 
At this point in your life, if your parents kicked you and BF out how would you pay rent? How would you pay rent if you were alone? Where would the horses go? 
My Daddy always says: "Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail." 
They could easily kick you and your boyfriend none the less, out and get $800 in rent. That was also stated earlier: "It's not 800 but it's rent". Which menas your parents could easily be getting $800 from someone else living in the apartment and wouldn't have to worry if they're emotionally supporting you or not. On that note, if you're worried about someone's approval I would suggest going to therapy with your mother.
So yes, they are supporting you. Not everyone has the same dreams as you kiddo and your parents clearly see that horses aren't bringin in any money for you. We all have dry spells, yes.
You want to make money at this? Train your own horse. Train someone elses horse. Jockey another 40k horse and get commision when it sells. That's how you make money in this industry. You buy a dinky 2 year old with as much cash as you can spare papers or not and you train that horse until it wins consistently. You sell it for prfit and buy a better horse. Train it. Win. Sell. It's a cycle. You'll have to ride the dinks before you can ride the greats again. Build up to that 40k dream horse, or make your own 40k dream horse out of a 5k prospect. 
Winning jackpots and rodeos will not make you a millionaire. There is no money in it. Sure, you can win big. But that money is your next meal, your next entry fee, your next truck and trailer payment. It goes fast.  There is money to be had in the horse industry. Your parents are right. Sure, people make profit but they work extremely hard fo rhwat little profit they make.  
Until you are fully on your own, making money with horses enough to support your own self (Without Boyfriends help as well) then your parents will always want better for you. Any parent would.

I agree. Move out. Off of the property, out of their apartment. Since you sold your horse, find little things to prove to them you can do it on your own. Get a loan if you have to. Provide your parents with a check weekly, no matter the amount, but to show them that you are going to pay them back the 5k. Maybe when they see you trying their attitudes will improve? Im sorry you have such negative parents. I dont agree with quite a few things youve posted that they have said because my parents would and have never said anything like that to me. Ever. Especially the, "I'll make sure this one hates horses." That is just wrong. I would get far far away from them. Maybe time can fix your relationship with them and pray for their attitudes to change. 
But for the time being, if what you are saying is true, you need to get out. Fast. Remove yourself from the negativity and live your life the way you want to live it. If that means taking out a loan, paying off your parents then having to pay that loan off. Then so be it. In the end, you need to do what makes YOU happy.

Barrelhorsehelp1 - 2017-06-07 11:37 AM How are y'all gonna tell me I didn't sell the horse????? Or that he isn't not sound?? That makes no sense? I did sell him, he is sound. If I knew how to make the pic smaller that I'm trying to attach its from the vet the day I left stating his a bruised hoof with a abscess making it's way to the coronary band? Even though I don't need to explain myself to ANY one you. they girl that bought him, leased him for youth world and has BEEN wanting to buy him long before this post, they jumped on the offer when I text them. Keyboard warriors! This will be my last post, I'm busting selling all my other crap. Ya know adulting like everyone suggested!

You need to go and reread all your threads that you made and see what you said and then tell us that we are being A_holes because you dont make no sense at all, you said you just bought this horse a year ago, he was a diamond in the rough, he was a barrel hitter and then not a barrel hitter, he only had a few runs when you got him, hes got a hairline fracture, hes needs a bonnet tie down, what bit for him the farrier made him dead lame so on and so on. and now your saying you had him least out to someone for the youth world, wow alot sure did happen within a year of owning him. And what Vet would pass him being 100% sound? Its real simple to go back on your threads, if you need help let us know I'm sure someone would be more then happy to help you.. So better yet we can bump them all up for you to read if you like.

Here is a link to every post you've started. Maybe go back and read all the info you put down about this horse and other aspects of each post. When things don't add up and make sense Roxie, NJJ, myself, and many others will call you on it.

YOU posted this June THIRD ' .......
Hairline fracture to pastern bone. It's a 4-8 week lay up but vet has me on stall rest till Monday so we can get better x rays.. he's been on stall rest for almost a week and the swelling started yesterday morning. I had a session of leader therapy this morning which took all the swelling out 'for now' but it is SOOO hot, I know the swelling will be back just wasn't sure should I sweat it out or ice it
And now you want us to believe that TWO days later you sold this horse as vet checked SOUND.....you REALLY need to go back and read your own posts ...... 

Additionally, you do realize that there are 40K BHW users from all over the U.S. and usually around 2000+ ONLINE every day ..... and you don't think that someone just "may" know you and your horse!

She just wants attention. Her story continues to change over and over again. I'm done wasting my time.

 I'm just here for the comments now. She isn't going to listen because she is right and everyone who has more experience and who have tried to help are just "Keyboard Warriors" now that she's been caught in her web of lies.

What's next?

I wonder if the "buyer" could find this post and sue for their 35k they just shelled out for a "sound" horse. Would be very interesting if this post and all her other posts were used against her in a court of law. If I was the buyer I'd be warning people of her shady horse deals.  If the deal wasn't shady and the horse was in fact sound then why are all the other posts made about this horse? Were all the other posts lies? Or was the comment about him being sound a lie? One of them has to be a lie. They can't both be true. It's not possible. 

NJJ is right. Someone knows who you are offline. A lot of us know each other offline. This community is too small of a circle for everyone to not know who you are.

BHW, If you know someone who just bought a 35k Gelding from someone named Robin, send them this way! I'd love to hear the whole story as would the rest of BHW.
