Ok, yesterday I had my cousin and her two girls at my house to see my horses for the first time. The girls are 8 and 9, and absolutely LOVED the minis. BUT these girls are extremely hyper, I asked that they don't run around the horses, as they are not used to children and spook easily (especially my gelding). Did they listen? NO. They yelled, made scratchy noises and everything else you can think of. Didn't listen to me nor their mom. I have heard other horror stories from family members about these girls behavior, and after experiencing it first hand, I don't wish any animal to go through belonging to them. I had to have my brother walk the horses back to their pen to get them away from the girls. Even with my house pets, I told them what they were and weren't allowed to do, and next thing I know, they were doing everything I said not to. They played with my VCR/TV, my cell phone, and snoped through my things on my table. I was very shocked at how they had no respect what so ever, for someone they hardly know.
Now, my cousin, aunt and uncle (they all live together) are asking me all sorts of questions about auctions, and how to get a cheap mini for the girls. I am trying to deter them any way possible. I know that she said money was a factor and that's why she is interested in the auctions. So I told her how much I have spent since I have had them (just under $4,500), that they have special eating needs, and that the auction is probably not the best way to go (since they don't have the financial needs to nurse a horse back to health, although I didn't say that).
I don't know what else to say to them. But now I feel responsible for them wanting a mini of their own. Everything I have told my cousin about a mini's care, seems to go in one ear and out the next. Please help!!!!
