Hi. Long story really but I'd love to talk with anyone who has had a parent who keeps horses at home and then got dementia/Alzheimers. My mum hasn't been diagnosed but she's becoming increasingly forgetful and her dad had alzheimers so I guess I'm scared of the worst. She currently has two horses (one is mine) which she cares for at home - no other horses on the yard and no help. My dad is looking into putting them into livery (Ive offered to look near me but he doesn't want them too far away from them so she can visit). Guess I'm just looking for a handhold and advice as to what you did?
