There could possibly be mental illness involved. There are many that really start to develop or show themselves in the transition from teen to young adulthood.

So she’s less than an hour from me. I will do some digging. If you look at Hunters fb feed she work(ed?) at Tractor Supply and someone recognized her and ate her lunch lol.

I don’t know how I missed this but I’m absolutely speechless!!! It defies all reasoning.
You would think if you ask a high purchase price and sell a horse they would be protected from this kind of abuse. That person must be mentally ill.

Folks, this is central Alabama, he was an oops foal, not planned. Pretend it’s a grade qh type vs a “fancy” breed.
I believe he moved here in the past several years, so he didn’t have a ton of local contacts/knowledge of fruitloops. He was advertising for someone to start horses for him, so again I believe he lacked local knowledge, connections, etc.
None of this means any of this is his fault, not at all. I am saying he sold a horse locally, likely at a sweet heart price, to a complete shitbag of a buyer who pulled the wool over his eyes.

This was from Hunter (Asombro’s breeder).

Yeah, but that sweetheart price was not likely to be sub $1k. You can see from his post that he has bred before, is selective, has a stallion.
This woman paid money to starve him. I just can’t imagine what mental illness led to that action. Maybe depression? Bought two foals…thought they’d do something and then family issues hit? Who knows - but that’s horrible all the way around.

Oh for sure she’s nuts. As in, the dead one is still in the same place on her property. Steps from her front door.

The lady who had Asombro?
The body is still just sitting there?
It was when they got him. No idea now.
That poor baby…he was lovely…

There has to be severe mental illness involved…my thought is that something horrible must have happened to this person to turn her into such a monster. I can’t accept that any human could be so inhumane otherwise.
Some people seem to be born with parts missing. Psychopaths, sociopaths, borderline personality, even schizophrenia, they aren’t really clearly linked to trauma and environment. In retrospect stuff was starting in childhood.

Sadly, there are 2 cases similar just in B.C. right now.
1 is on the Island, where a young woman (allegedly)* let a ‘rescued’ mare starve to death, then dumped her carcass on a trail and lit it on fire 
(or the other way around- the case is still in the “investigation” stage).
The 2nd is another woman who has prior convictions for torturing and killing animals. Search “B.C. pet killer placed under new court-ordered conditions” for the full story and her name.
It’s really sad and disturbing.
- allegedly because, even though the horse was burned she was still recognizable and recognized as being owned by this woman, and several other horses, dogs and goats were removed from her possession, but the woman will not admit to doing anything wrong or hurtful.
Absolutely this is true - but also most people with those kinds of diagnoses are not abusers. Most animal and child abusers have been abused or neglected themselves, and are part of a cycle of abuse. Whatever the case, this person clearly needs help, and to never own an animal again. I truly hope she doesn’t have children…

She does not have kids. That I know.

This may be true for people who are not seriously mentally ill but have sadistic tendencies or anger issues. But I think psychiatrists no longer post a causal link between childhood trauma and serious mental illness that creates delusions or hallucinations. And when people are under the influence of serious delusional thinking, they can act out in violent ways. Delusions always seem to be fear and anger, paranoia, or grandiosity, never happy or nice delusions 
and people can act violently because they think they are under threat.
I don’t know this woman, but I live in a city that desinstitutionalized decades ago and now has a massive problem with mentally ill homeless people who are also often drug users. It’s really intractable when people don’t want to be helped, because their mental illness makes them fear everyone.
