Hi Atalanta, 

Its ....... here, the other day when I helped out and took out a trail ride I forgot to mention to you that the customers asked me why a few particular horses are 'skinny' if its because they are old, I said yes they are old because I didn't want them to be concerned or report any of your horses as lately I see it happening so much and I heard them say when the horses walked up to them 'oh your skinny'.

I just thought I might bring this to your attention as when your around the same animal everyday you dont seem to realise any change, I looked back through some photos of boombai and there is a major difference in weight and I am just concerned for you and the horses.

How are you holding up with your business? Is there anything I can help with? I would hate to see someone report the horses and your business go downhill, your business shaped who i am today and I would love to try and help in any way.

When I went to catch Bombay it took me awhile to find her because I didn't recognize her and at the time I thought it was because I hadnt been there in awhile but now i realise after looking back at photos its because her change in condition. 

There something about that horse I just love, as soon as I saw her 6 months ago I just wished she could be mine and it really broke my heart seeing the difference in her. 

I dont want to offend you in any way so please please dont think that!!! I want to see how I can help, as I said I love your business and want it to strive, I know you care about your horses with all your heart and do everything you can for them.  As there is no way your going to let me have Bombay I want to know what I can do to help. 

I have attached the photos for you of 6 months ago and now so you can see the difference

I am only bringing this up because I love that horse and care about her health and I love your business, you were like my second mum! my best memories were at the riding center, I would hate for someone to report it, I see on facebook everyday people putting up photos of their fat horses and they say is my horse too skinny because someone threatened to report it, its crazy what people report. I am just trying to look out for you!

Please if theres anything I can do let me know, I am prepared to buy Bombay for $500 if you would let me as she would need so much spent on her to fix her up (and I know what you said about her being a working horse etc but I just thought I would through it out there, I really care for her. Or if you wanted me to work there for a few weeks for free and that can pay for her) 

Anyway I have attached some pics for you to see, I hope you dont take this to heart, it took a lot to send this to you because I dont want you to feel like I am picking on your horses or how you care for them , im just trying to look after you.

So please please dont take this to heart!
