I don't know why they disrupted, other than that she is a very hurt and troubled child. My only guess is that she was just harder than they were expecting. They had horses, and it was summer so she got to ride a lot. Preteen girl, horses, 2nd disruption, yeah she took it pretty hard. It didn't help that afterward her SW told her that as long as she couldn't behave she was never going to be able to have a family. Her SW really liked to document things like that.
That's probably more background than is needed, but my daughter's experience is part of deciding what to do.

Ouch - poor kid! And I have a horse and a 10 year old, so I can understand THAT part of it, too. It's really a shame since horse-back riding can be very therapeutic and healing for troubled kids, since it gives them confidence and some sense of control. It could have become a part of her healing. I know this is really off topic, but do you have any access to get her horseback riding lessons at some point?
