I love my friend.
However, it agrivates me that she refuses to contemplate retraining a horse she co-owns because he was formerly abused.
Apparently it's the fault of the people that bad-mouth the horse that he rears and tries to bite and kick them, frequently suceeding
And she doesn't want to retrain because 'he's happy the way he is!'
I have to remember that she's only 14, but even when I was in the exact same situation at a similar age, I acknowledged the horse's faults.
Luckilly, the other owner is an adult. Seeing as my friend is unrational, I can start on the horse's real owner and remind the owner that she has a duty of care to the horse. And if the horse maims someone, then she is held legally responsible.
I'm sorry, B____. I understand your view, but in order to protect this horse from himself, I'm going over your head.
