Tell me I wasn't wrong...

Honey, she is the one that aught to be ashamed when she see's you. She is showing you right now that she is not a true friend. Maybe she will come around and see that it is not worth a lost friendship. This haooened to me once and it taught me a huge lesson.

Thanks again! Everybody at work already knows whats going on and I'm sure she gave them an earful today. So far, anybody that knows whats going on has been on my side. They agreed with ya'll, that if she was going to pay me for him she would've done it or made some arrangements to do so. And that its better for him to be here than with her. She couldn't even remember to clean out the trailer after being reminded every day for 3 days straight. I know she wouldn't have taken care of any vet bills or anything else that came up as it always does. Glad I told her I was hanging on to his paperwork until she paid me. Guess as I'm getting older I have gained some brainpower. That's a good sign I guess! LOL Just put up the rest of the horses pic's under meet my horse since I finally sat down long enough to figure out how to do it. Yeah, I figured out it wasn't hard to do. Just had to try it for the first time to figure it out. Guess I'll find out how well Trader is going to do trailriding tomorrow. So far, he's been great riding him around here. He's been swimming in the pond, so hopefully the creeks won't bother him. My husband is already trying to tell me I don't need a new qtr horse since I have Trader to ride. Won't have any money any time soon to be buying a new qtr horse anyway. Oh well! Money comes and goes. Just glad Trader's going to be safe and secure here.

Oh, my gosh you're a nurse, with a big family, and all those horses! I know you are a hard worker. That young girl hasn't got a clue about hard work, making your own way in life, being responsible for your own actio.s Really you did a good thing for her, holding her accountable for her actions. Obviously others haven't. She thinks the world should just give her what she wants, no effort required on her part. The sad thing is she had no remorse about what she did. She was angry with you. The word for her is narcissistic. She's not your friend. She'll only take and use other people. If she is a nurse, that sends a chill up my spine. I'd hate to be her patient. She would only be nice and helpful if it served her purpose. She could care less about about other people and their needs. If this is the way she is, she wouldn't care if she gave that patient that important medication or let them lay in their own waste the whole shift and left the next shift to do it. Tell me if I am way off base about this. I'm so GLAD you didn't fall for her bull. She was never going to pay for that horse because she didn't ask for payments and accepted no responsibility, just tried to turn it on you (manipulation). Instead of being ripped off you do have a beautiful horse. BE PROUD OF YOUR SELF, YOU USED GOOD JUDGEMENT.

She keeps trying to say after she left she had the money to pay me...Then why didn't she give it to me? If someone loaned me money to buy a horse and I had the money for him and I loved him as much as she says she does. I would put up a fight to keep him! I think her girlfriends dad didn't end up giving them the money and doubt that she could afford to pay me all of it and was embarrassed to ask to make payments. I'm not going to say she's a bad person or a bad nurse. Never been her patient, so I can't judge from the other side. She seems to be a caring wonderful nurse. I'm chalking this up to she's so young and her gf is only 18. So, I'm thinking that they thought they could come up with the money and then realized they weren't going to be able to afford it or something. She said she had the money, but wasn't going to be able to move him that day. That was after she left here with just her saddle. When I asked her who told her she had to move him today she never would respond to me via text messaging as she refused to answer her phone, just kept texting me that I broke her heart, that our friendship was over and etc. Keep in mind when I say she picked up her saddle...She does have a nice saddle just failed to mention when she brought it over here to use that she didn't have a girth strap, girth or bridle to use with it. To me thats part of a saddle lol. Like I said I think it's best for the horse that he's where he is and will be taken care of to the best of my ability. She's not a bad person...just young and made a bad judgement/choice. I guess you're right about she didn't think I would follow through with what I told her. Either she paid me back of it was my horse. Heck, if she would have thought it through...she comes over and rides all the time. We always let her pick who she wants to ride. If she'd have been nice over this situation she could have still come over to ride him anytime and ended up getting to enjoy him for free. Now after the way she has acted she aint riding the kids bouncy horse out in my front yard let alone one of the breathing horses in the pasture. I know my parents have helped me out millions of times and if it wasn't for me living on the family farm now, I wouldn't be able to have what I have, but I'm not her mama. Thanks for listening to my ranting....Thank God for the Vent!

I'm glad to hear she's not all bad. It just worried me she didn't appear to have a conscience about it. Maybe she is just young and spoiled and can learn a lesson from this. It is always good to hope for the best. I've just known too many sociopaths in my life. They are charming and nice if they need something from you, have no conscience, and are only sorry that they got caught when doing something wrong. They can reap a lot of destruction. Oh, I sound so negative again. I didn't mean to do that! You handled yourself very well. Just keep an eye on her.

hey - i noticed you mentioned that trader is broke to pull a wagon. if, for some reason, you decide not to keep him please let me know. my sister-in-law and her husband just bought a buggy and are in the market for a harness trained horse - (and they LUV paints) - we are located in camden, ar. you can email me at onesisterx3@yahoo.com if you decide to sell - thanks

[dixiesmama02]

Call me evil or spiteful....but right now I'm not interested in selling him because I'm having too much fun riding him and plan on making sure she sees how much I'm riding him. I realllllllllly need to sell him, but the kid in me is keeping him for spite. Already had several offers to buy him just from other people at work. So, I'm sure if I did sell him I'd sell him to the first woman at work that wanted him. But, we will keep you in mind if we change our minds! Thanks!

[oldestsister]

ok - you can let me know - i know how you feel - it's hard for me to let one go after i get it cause i fall in love - even when i try not to - i am horse crazy - or maybe just crazy lol!!

That horse looks awful young & small to ride. How old is he? He looks like a yearling. Or is it just the breed?
