Racehorses are rippin' fast. For those of you who have never seen a horse run at full torque (I'd wager, most of y'all), you really don't realize the power and the speed of a racehorse until they go galloping by you at Mach force, knocking the hat off your head and sand blasting your ankles with remnant track dirt. Although they look similar to the sweet little ponies down by the summer carnivals, racehorses are a totally different beast… Literally.
A city-slicking dad didn't know the difference, of course, and when he made his way around his new neighborhood with his daughters, they were captivated by their neighbor's horses. However, this cowgirl was an equestrian and helped rehabilitate ex-racehorses and dressage horses who were no longer in service. Aware that these aren't the most kid-friendly animals on the farm, she always padlocked the gate, and it's a good thing, because this entitled dad seemed to stop at nothing to get his daughters to ride the back of the neighbor's "horsey."
When she adamantly refused to put their lives in danger, somehow that made her the bad guy? I guess, not everyone has the good horse sense to know better…
