I happen to know for a fact that they have owned those horses for years and they look worse than before. The abused filly that they "rescued" was in fact born on their place from one of their starved mares and it almost died only because of their neglect. Those horses DO NOT receive proper care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-70063110054620444852011-10-26T14:05:24.579-05:002011-10-26T14:05:24.579-05:00Thanks so much for posting that, Bayley!

We have 6 horses. Four are very healthy (2 of those we nurtured back to a healthy size having bought them underweight and are now finding a safe home for them, since they have already improved). The two that are currently very underweight, we bought from an auction to help rescue them from bad situations. The thinnest of the two has only been with us for about 3 months. She has been wormed and has already had 2 vet check ups. She is on a feeding schedule along with special supplements to help her gain weight. She has made some improvement already... but the vet, the ferrier, and the co-op have all told us that it will take time. It is sad, because she is one of the sweetest horses I've ever seen. The other horse that is underweight was from an abused home and has gained much weight and is enjoying all of the love and attention she now gets. When we feel that they are healthy enough, we will find them good homes also. The film crew wanted those two horses for their scene because they were smaller and sweeter. We didn't think about people assuming that their underweight size was our fault... Especially, since they look so much better than when we got them (and if you compare them to our other horses, its obvious they're not being underfed.)... but, since the TV audience only sees and hears glimpses here and there, often not hearing any background info, it's totally understandable that people might be concerned... as I would be too!"<br /><br /> I hope this clears it up!Bayleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-53996346662071632882011-10-25T13:56:23.226-05:002011-10-25T13:56:23.226-05:00It might those horses have equine infectious anemi...It might those horses have equine infectious anemia(which would be sad).It's a wasting disease and the horses will get thin no matter how much you feed them.All that can be done is to make the horses comfortable before their premature death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-5196716991131417792011-10-23T18:22:10.476-05:002011-10-23T18:22:10.476-05:00Why are they riding the thin horses?Why did they n...Why are they riding the thin horses?Why did they not explain this on T.V.Any way it takes a lot of money to take care of horses(I know I've had some)Hay,feed vet bills how do they afford to do rescues, when the family had to be given an addition to their house and were living with one bathroom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-37019907095634128912011-10-20T16:53:11.515-05:002011-10-20T16:53:11.515-05:00Love it when the Bates are on the show.

The reason why some of her horses may appear a little on the thin side is because they were rescues. They're working on fattening them up.

Although The Bates are expecting another child, I know they've said they aren't interested in a reality show of their own.
