| Aww thank you so much for your kind comment GLP!! They are and I'm thankful for them and the help they have given me in the past. Like I said, they would help me if I absolutely needed it but I don't like to rely on them. They definitely raised me right and I do owe it to them on my self sufficiency. I really hope I have an awesome horse someday too, that's all I've ever wanted and can't wait!

You know, the ones who riot in the street for 15/hour to flip burgers? The ones who want free healthcare, free school, and free everything? Oh, and don't forget the safe zones. Can't forget those.

Didn't go MIA, I read every single comment and took everything into consideration. I've talked to them about it and of course the conversation went nowhere
Sold the 40k for today to a nice coming freshman in High school. That has rode in our 'circle' for a while.
Her parents came with her and were more supportive in the 2 hours they tried the horse than mine have been in my entire riding career.
No amount of money they spent or will spend on me is enough for the lack of MENTAL support. I would give it all up for them to just support my dream, even if they knew it was unattainable for one day.
Thanks for all replies!

Location: Florida | What? I can't understand the lack of support. She sounds like a good kid. Her parents are trying to control her. Yes, God bless the child who has her own, but really a little help wouldn't kill her parents and it would be an investment in their future realtionships, like with their grandchildren. |

That might never happen. I'm in my 40's and, on the rare occasion that my parents bother to come to a barrel race, they show up late, usually missing my run, walk away to the concession stand when my run is coming up (it's always "oh, sorry I missed it...") complain about the heat and dirt ("filth") the whole time, make stupid jokes, and are just generally... well, they're just who they are. That's never going to change. I still get hopeful every time they say they're coming and disappointed, even though I know not to expect them to act supportive. I do my horses on my own. I always have. They made it known that if they had to start paying for anything with my horse (when I was a kid), that I'd have to sell it. Still, they provided the basics for me and if not for that, I would never have been able to use "my money" for my horse. That realization came when I turned 18 and had to start buying my own groceries, toilet paper, etc.
Selling your good horse won't be the first hard decision you'll have to make. In this case, it was probably the right thing to do at the right time. |

Location: OH. IO | Just wondering if your parents got any of the money back from you selling the horse? |
|
| |
|
| 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 |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | So he was sound enought to ride, what about the hairline fracture he was on stall rest for, and I thought the farrier made him dead lame? |
|
| |
|
| We suspected a hairline, once he had gotten to the vet and x rays were done it proven nothing more than a bruise with a abscess.
If you must know.
She also had him vetted, where he was 100% sound.
Regardless why does that have to do with my issues with my unsupportive parents?

| I am sorry you got no emotional support from your parents, I can't imagine not supporting my kids emotionally for all the activities they did. You just did some growing up and that is almost always painful. You are learning how to be independent and that is really important for your well being. Just know you did the right thing selling the horse and giving the money back to your parents. Now continue gaining your total independence by finding your own place to live, fixing/selling your truck and put yourself through whatever schooling you choose. Good luck to you sweetheart, you can do this. |

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've been really b*^#ched at and NO amount of money was worth it to me. I would rather sell the horse, move out and support myself. Come to find out, my Dad really respected me after that. It wasn't horses that caused the friction, though. Our strong personalities and my lack of focus for my future was the problem. Maybe this is the true friction for the OP, but she isn't seeing it and the whole family doesn't communicate well. Mine didn't. |
