I hope the thing that ripped off that poor guy's stuff chokes on it! From Massachusetts, God Bless you Mr. Turpen and Tommy Girl! P.S, Tommy Girl was no accident she was sent from God for you!

Hi, I'm homeless with my horse and 6 dogs in Texas. No substance abuse, just diagnosed major depression and age. Been searching for housing that is affordable for 2 years. Happy to work. Want to help me? I'd happily take a SAFE place to live for me and my animals.!!

I know others who are homeless with their horse. I'm also homeless with my horse and 6 dogs in Texas. I didn't partake in any substance abuse. My problem? Major depression (diagnosed) ....and age-related other medical issues. I'm regularly working on getting out of this horrible situation i find myself in. Been searching for housing that is affordable for 2 years. I'd happily take a SAFE place to live for me and my animals. I thought about doing videos on it, but pride has stopped me. Maybe the pride is decreasing bc I'm actually "outing" myself here. Anyway, just remember, this CAN happen to anyone!

Oh they will miss Frank when he's gone.Probably have a portrait or statue of him and a horse. He has gotten himself into a right pickle in valley springs. Its an uproar in the town because Frank wore out his welcome and picked up some tresspassing charges and maybe a few felonies. So he was gonna ride 1 of his horses to Mexico and the mare got hurt a few miles out of town. Apparently Frank was laid out himself and had a tantrum when neighbors came to help the horse. He was petrified of going thru withdrawls in jail, didn't want to risk it even though the county thinks they'd be helping him with 3 hots and a cot if he does end up in the cell. The idea of him in his state locked up ain't a pretty sight. He certainly looks in far better health in this video.

i liek hourses

[@tonyfourpaws4511]

how is his horse shod?

[@tasseyko7654]

Probably barefoot trimmed but I found the mare looked a bit lame when just walking.

[@tasseyko7654]

.... But I should add, I can't criticize bc he very well is probably doing the best he can with what he's got. I'm homeless presently ( for the past two years) with a horse and 6 dogs. My horse NEEDS to be floated and I desperately want to get it done. But there are so many other pressing issues. And when I DID have done money to get it done I couldn't get an equine dentist to even call me back! Sigh* . I say this to emphasize, I can't judge this man. I don't know anything about him

[@davemail62]

I've treated Frank to Taco Bell got him Orange Juice & milk. I like Frank he is a nice guy. When my Crypto hits big going to help that guy out...
