Thank you, Wendy.  I just hope my experience can help others know that it’s not just certain people the haters go after…it’s anyone and for no real good reason.

Thank you for your support and kindness.

Very sad that people speak that way and fail to ask. I am sure I have thought negatively at times, in a weak moment, failing to ask the understanding questions. I hope to continue to grow out of that self centered way of thinking! I also have a senior horse – Breezie just turned 20. She will be our forever horse. And I hope to continue to grow in asking /looking and understanding what she is saying.

Glad you are strong in your own self to not let the haters get you down, you can only feel sorry for them being so ignorant and self-righteous

You are inspiring. All the best.

I too posted a picture of my horse and I received hate mail saying similar things to me and my old friend 24yr old gelding. It was brutal and hurtful both to me and about my horse. Yesterday my horse passed away just fell asleep and I couldn’t wake him up. I loved my horse. I promised myself that I wouldn’t post anymore but I read your article and it touched a chord with me. I am sorry it happened to you. Thank you for the article. 🌹

I have made many mistakes but wouldn’t part with him for the world. I don’t understand people who feel the need to be negative or critical … Horses are emotional sentient beings that deserve to be treated with love and respect not like they are disposable or a piece of equipment. The negative people you encountered aren’t worth your time or anyone’s time … Especially those who love their animals and would do anything for them.

These noisy children don’t even need time of day 😀

It will also get a lot of negativity, sometimes for asking the question in the first place! I don’t post anything because of that.
My husband and I had three older horses that each had a reason that they couldn’t be ridden. We recently lost one to a serious colic at age 27. The other two are 30. They are indeed part of our family and will be with us until the end of their lives. Yes, they get fed before we do (a fact that my husband loves to tell everyone!), they get regular farrier and veterinary care, time with us, and are happy horses. That’s what matters.

You have a great bond and an amazing relationship with your horse. Keep up the good work and love. <3
