I see both sides of this...but $12,000? Half of that I could stomach, but IMO, that is too much to spend on a rescue horse, especially one with an iffy outcome. I wouldn't spend that much on any horse, actually. That's half as much as I make in a year. Even if money was no problem I couldn't do it.
It is hard to let go of a horse you love, especially when there are ups and downs. They can do whatever they want with the funds, and people can donate to where ever they want. Still, I think they could have managed the publicity and funds more effectively.
I hope you all remind me of this when it's time to put my old mare down, because I will be a wreck and probably do similar things. That's why rescues should have boards and other, more objective, people contributing to this sort of situation.
