If this is not a scam, it is just incredibly sad!!

She does say that she had to move. It may not be that easy for some people to just go and meet people. Sounds like she may not be able to move around as easily as she used to and who knows whats going on with her. I'd give her the benefit of the doubt. I have a friend who was given a horse because the horse he had bought to let his daughter ride turned out to have bad hips and wasn't able to be ridden. After his daughter grew up and moved away, he gave the horse away to a girl that had social anxiety and low self esteem. This horse opened her up to people and now she is able to go to places and meet people. So scam or no? Who knows, but until you know the whole situation, why not assume its somebody asking for help? What do you have to lose?

It is proven the benefits horses can have on the human phyci ( OK so I can't spell everything!)... There is a pretty extension group that does the wounded warrior horse deal for vets from good results. Same with equine programs for mentally changed people. I think dogs and cats have the same good effect on people that can connect. Some people in this world can not seem to connect with anything or anybody.
