I have this friend, and she has a horse but she needs something to get her a jump start on taking care of her horse. She is really lazy and just puts off everything with horses to tomorrow. What do I do other than nagging? She has never gotten a vet, coggins, dentist, farrier, the list goes on. But she is my friend and if it gets any worse I and going to call the ASPCA for the animal's sake. Got any tips??
