Leaner Pastures: As Horses Multiply, Neglect Cases Rise - WSJ.com
I'm sorry, but there are some of us out there that would rather be in the poor house and take proper care of our horses instead of giving them away. I understand rescues have a place in this world, but where did this bleeding heart come from that believes horses are a luxury item? I think she's gone a little off the deep end!

I'm confused too! Are you talking about the rescue or the breeder who thinks the govt should subsidize people like her who make bad financial decisions in the name of 'farming'? I'm with Sparks on horses being a luxury item. You should only have as many as you can afford to care for properly.
I agree with both you and Sparks, horses are definately a LUXURY item and if you are going to have one you need to have the financial means to take care of it. Ofcourse, I think this is true for children too, for last time I check my bankbook it costs alot of money to raise a child. And I don't think the govt should subsidize people who make bad financial decisions, " ie: like buying Mcmansions that they and the bank knew they could not afford." Ofcourse if we are going to let people get away with bad financial decisions I have a want list a mile long!!!
I was thinking the same thing! There was an earlier thread where a poster thought the govt should bail out people in danger of losing their homes because of 'creative' loans. Live w/i your means or accept the consequences.
or even better a 15 year!!oh dont get me started on the housing probkem and creative loans. If you cant get a 30yr fixed-- DONT get anything! BTW after your settled in that 30 year fixed and know your budget then you can think about horses!
or even better a 15 year!!
And DON'T use Lending Tree. My kid did, and SO many companies ran a credit check on her, she couldn't even GET credit-I was shocked. Then they had a huge penalty when she refinanced and paid them off after the loan they got ballooned and they didn't realize it would do that...all that fine print gets missed on young, desparate or inexperienced people.
