Is it a good idea to get her or not?

No, it's not a good idea to get her back. The way it stands right now, you can't even afford to take care of a healthy horse, never mind one that might need immediate, expensive, and possibly extensive veterinary care. Even if you are able to get this horse back, it's quite likely she'll suffer greater hardship with you than with her current owner, NOT because you're abusive, but because you can't afford to give her everything she needs.

If you are sure she's truly being neglected, call the RSPCA. If they believe it's justified, they'll remove the mare from her care. You won't be given the mare, but at least you'll feel a lot better knowing she's being properly cared for. If the RSPCA finds no basis for your complaints, then there's nothing you can do, the mare will stay with her. So, realistically, your options are to either leave her where she is and forget about getting her back, or call the RSPCA if you're sure it's warranted.

Best of luck.

You say you "gave" the horse to her...so why the heck should you have to pay one red cent to get her back. Tell the old broad that with the bad winter predicitons you'd feel a lot better if the horse was returned to you and she wouldn't have to keep dumping money into her. Appeal to her sentiments...not the harsh way I just described. Do not pay one dime for this horse. She's going to cost you and arm and a leg in feed and blankets this upcoming winter. Cant you even build a simple lean too? In other words a 2 sided wall from which she can hide from the wind? That shouldn't cost more than a few hundred dollars in materials. If you cant talk your parents into loaning / giving you that money it might be best to leave her where she is as you really can not afford a horse....the worming, the hoof trimming, the annual shots, the grain, the hay, and any emergency vet visit that might pop up.

As much as I would like to say yes and go for it, you don't have money get her some adequate shelter in the two fields you have and its important for there to be at least a run in shelter if you do not have a barn to protect her from the elements of the weather. Providing shade when it gets too hot out or from the wind when it gets windy or from the rain and snow.

If you cannot afford to stable her, that is going to be tough to get vet check ups and farrier visits as well. Not to mention food supplies you will need.

If you want what is best for her, then you should wait for more than a year and and really work on saving up, going to school and getting a part time job. In the meantime maybe you can make an arrangement with the lady on chores around her field and barn, until you have not only enough to support caring for your arabian and yourself.

From the sound of it even though you care for this horse you would not have to means to care for her properly if you got her back. I would not let this horse suffer more neglect for another year while you try and get enough money to care for her. I know you said you wouldn't but you should call the RSPCA to report suspected neglect and let them investigate the situation and take action if needed.

I think if you want her and you love her you should get her.

In the mean time, you could try to work something out with the lady that owns her at the moment by where you could care for the horse so she can be properly cared for until you buy her back, and that way hopefully heal her leg a bit more by the time you own her again.

Horses are such an amazing animal.of all animals horses are on the top.

Get her back
