My step sister has a horse that she hasnt ridden at allfor a month and hasnt ridden regularly for about 5 months, she has only had the horse since August.
he used to be a really well muscled/fit show/hunting horse, ridden 5 times a week.
i asked her if she wanted to sell the horse or allow other people to exercise him but she said no. so now the horse has lost all his muscle. also he gets grumpy in his stable because in bad weather he just gets left inside his stable and never gets taken out. he has been left like this for weeks and it really upsets me to see a good horse go to waste.
if i try tolunge him(which i dont even have permission to do!) he runs off bucking and actually kicks out at you. today i turned him out and all i did was open the stable door and shut it but before i could bolt it he be barged out and onto the yard. so basiaclly he is getting more and more difficult to handle.
she said she was going to come down to ride him every day this week and next but hasnt been down. the one day she did come down she brushed him and put him back in his stable, i thnik she is getting scared of him and doesnt want to ride. i really dont know what to do to help this horse. sorry for the rant i know theres nothin that can really be done about it.
