a little background.
we have 2 horses we keep on my neighbors property and she boards another for the girl down the street. shes friends with my daughter who is 13. her parents are hurting for money and a new tye would have to sell the horse. so last winter i bought $230 worth of hey for her horse because i wanted her to be able to keep her horse so she could ride with my daughter and their other friend. well, its been getting worse. they dont always provide feed so we end up using ours to feed their horse, which by the way, my daughter feeds theirs all the time anyway, even with their feed.

so, i had a great friday with my daughter. spent the day taking care of the horses then went for a ride with her, about a half hour too long, im still hurting. she comes to me and says they are out of feed...again. she tells me they ahve some at the house. so she calls and asks them to bring feed. no show. so we get in the truck and drive down there. well, here is where it hits the fan. while i was alone with her mother, the dad just went to jail, oh, i forgot to tell ya he is/was a hells angels member. anyway, i asked her mother, while the kids were nto around, if they could try to do better at keeping food for the horse because we have been feeding from our supply and we cant afford to do that anymore. well, she prceeded to tell me that they have never run out food down there becuase she always takes some down there. so even after her daughter said(very reluctantly) that she had run out food she still insisted that their horse always has food. this went on for a while then they said something about selling the horse. then i told her about the $230 for hay and that ronnie would talk to you about paying me back and that if they sold the horse she should pay me for the hay. she told me horses dont need hay and that was not her problem. then she proceeded to tell that her daugher would feed their horse in the morning and night and that my daughter did not have to take care of their horse any more. i told her again, that is not the problem, the only thing i ask is that you have feed for us to feed the horse and that i really did not want money because i wanted her daughter to be able to keep her horse. actually, it is much easier for us to feed all the horses at once, otherwise, we have to pull our 2 out and feed them seperately.
long story short...too late...i am now the bad guy.
gottat go.
