Does anyone else marvel at the people who board their horse(s) and never do anything with them?

The poor animal sits in a pen and hardly moves all day. Just wasting away. It's great if you can find a pasture board situation but I live in the west and grass just doesn't grow enough for most barns to be able to offer that.

I seriously could never afford to just keep a horse at a boarding stable and throw hundreds of dollars away every month for the fucking thing to just sit there. I have two and I go to exercise and train them every day. Do people just not care or not see it as an investment? The horse isn't getting any younger. While you're throwing your money away, at least pay a damn trainer to take it out three days a week or something. Hell if you're never gonna go see the horse anyway, move the horse to where the trainer is because what does it matter? Could sell the horse for you in a few months. Or just give the horse away to a good home? Sure, you wouldn't make anything from a sale but at least you wouldn't be losing money on board every month. I just don't understand people.
