Malnourished…

Just as expected, the people of Instagram took issue with everything they saw happening in the photos and videos—and probably rightly so.

User linyana89 wrote: “Farrah, seriously, that horse is too skinny! Go get help from someone who ha[s] more horse experience than you!”

“That horse does not I repeat DOES NOT look happy. Did you even do research b4 you even got the pony,” another user (@angel_the_penguin) added.

User @carocardenas88 offered that, based on what Farrah was posting, Starburst “doesn’t stand a chance.”

… Or Overfed?

That said, Instagrammers weren’t just concerned by how Starburst looked in the photos from her “birthday party” —they were worried about something much more tangible.

The video of Starburst with what appeared to be an entire, human, birthday cake in front of her. Apparently, that much sugar isn’t good for such a little horse and Instagram users weren’t afraid to tell Farrah.

Bad News

User @t_katherinee (who, by the way, has tons of horse pictures on her profile) seemed to sum up everyone’s concerns in these comments:

“I would hope you are consulting with an equine veterinarian regarding your horse. Your horses coat looks awful which can indicate worms, they need a dewormer every 6 months. It’s okay to feed your horse sugar every once in a while it won’t kill them or hurt them. But not an entire cake. That will tear him or her up. Do your research before you seriously hurt this little guy. Colic in general is dangerous, and horses can die from this even with surgical intervention. Which is very costly, especially if they are put in isolation due to contagious bacterial infections. Stick to hay, apples, carrots, pellets, sweet feed, and other horse treats from an actual feed store. Learn the signs of a malnourished animal before purchasing one and leading him or her to a death sentence. (After all you don’t want to break your daughters heart) Have a nice day.

PS don’t forget to help supplement with daily vitamins. Smart Pac for horses is pre measured and an extremely good brand of vitamins. Like I said consult with a vet to help you figure out what type of vitamins will be good for this horse. Also they need vaccines at least twice a year. Goodluck.”
