Not having money doesn't have anything to do with fraud, and if she was trying to claim the medicine was for a completely different horse that is insured, that's fraud.

We've had to make choices... some non emergency stuff has had to wait on the horses and dogs at times, I'd like to think it would never come to sale if things got rough for us.

Bay I would never sell and there's few people I would entrust him to if I say, got hit by a truck. Not at his age. Before I married ecurbh Dad was actually under instruction that if Bob wouldn't take Bay eagerly he should put him down rather than sell him to a stranger. I still feel that. I hate to not trust that there are plenty of good homes out there, but I made a promise to that horse a long time ago.

I was thinking that the lady was trying to get them to call the medicine into the pharmacy under a PERSON'S name, a person who had prescription drug insurance, rather than under a horse's name. But maybe I misunderstood.

I would put George down before I would sell him. He's just too old and in ill health to start over again.

If I had to I could sell all of my other horses but I'd sure hate to sell Tuffy. I would like to thin the herd a bit, Mina would be the first to go. I really like her but I'm not wild about riding a 2 year old again.

Oh I know, but what I'm saying is that she used that excuse when she tried to get me to put the meds under a person's name who had health insurance. She tried to pass it off as people meds. Red flags would have gone up at the pharmacy if a vet had called in trying to perscribe medication to a person.

There is of course, nothing wrong with not wanting to part with a horse, I'm not saying that there is. Giving up my horse was the hardest darn thing that I did. And also, certainly non emergency things can slide, I'm certainly not calling the person a bad owner- it was just pretty ballsy to ask me to put it under as people meds, claiming that she didn't have money.
