This is something that I don't think she has considered.
This is the same woman who, when our granddaughter was born, said she wanted to visit her at least once a month, and didn't want to be "the grandma 4 hours away". We went to visit this past weekend, the first time we've been there in 6 months. Too busy, she says.
I'm going to try to steer her toward renting at a stable, but she tells me she wants HER horse. She has a riding appointment for this Friday, let's see how that goes. If I'm lucky she will be too sore to move on Saturday and give up on this idea.
Another thing, she is terrible with money. She says she has money to cover this, but her car is now 7 years old and approaching 110,000 miles, and it isn't going to run forever. At least it is paid for.
I'm watching the news right now.
Maybe I can sign her up for this program.
