Unraveling the Battle between a Daughter and Her Overbearing Mother
Section 1: The History of the Horse
The horse in question, a beloved companion for over 20 years, was rescued as a 4-month-old foal from a knackery. It is now kept in a huge field 24/7 along with other horses and holds a special place in the daughter's heart. It is not just a mere animal but a part of her life.This horse has seen and experienced so much over the years. It has become a symbol of resilience and love for the daughter.

The daughter doesn't mind people saying hello from a distance, but the constant requests for rides are crossing a line.It seems that the mother has no regard for the horse's well-being or the daughter's feelings. She is treating the horse as if it were a plaything, disregarding the boundaries and the horse's nature.Section 3: The Consequences

The daughter has had to lay down the law and firmly tell her mother no more.Yesterday, the mother showed up with 12 kids, which was a clear violation of the agreement.
