I am certainly not blaming the victim. I have said continuously that I feel for this person. But having been involved in a similar situation I am trying to offer some advice. From personal experience.

Maybe it's really different in Canada but I highly doubt the horse word is that much different anywhere. Especially as I know many people currently working in barns in Canada and almost went there to work myself so I do know a little about how they run.

This is not the OP's fault but she does not need to take this further at detriment to her own health for what will unlikely be the outcome she hopes for.

Also do you know the chain of which to go through? do you know the process? If you are having panic attack about barn chores this process will send you mad.

Please do not take this as an attack. It is meant in warning.
