‘It turned out she knew nothing about horses’: Woman demands farm and rescue owner gift her a lame horse after lying about her farrier training and taking advantage of her friendship with the farm’s handyman

Some folks offer a hand and expect a handshake, but others arrive with open arms and leave with half your livestock stashed in their vision board. This woman, operating in the weird world of rural favors, is less than a one-trick pony, and the trick is an old one: good intentions morph into a campaign for ownership, with each unsolicited gesture coming bundled with the expectation of a reward. 

On one small farm, this idea played out spectacularly. A friend-of-the-handyman swept in, supposedly to help with a lame horse and offer her budding expertise. Instead, she dispensed relentless advice, purchased unnecessary accessories, and turned caring for the animal into a full-contact sport of martyrdom. She lingered uninvited, double-dipped on both chores and opinions, and made sure the horse received more blankets and hand-fed treats than any creature in the county. Her goal became clear: the endless parade of small, unwanted favors was just a payment plan for claiming the horse as her own.

When the owner stood firm, rejecting the not-so-subtle adoption plot, the would-be rescuer simply escalated, preparing a pasture, sending a companion pony, and keeping up a stream of midnight manifestos about how the horse needed a change of scenery. In the grand circus of unsolicited help, it turns out not all gifts are free, and some come with a lead rope attached.
