It doesnt matter if she has a horse or her ex has three cars. The bottom line is he is responsible to support his kids and pay certain s7 expenses. OP needs to get her files in order and start moving forward with upping CS to the right amount based on his actual income and request his portion of school expenses.
Making off topic comments is what drives people away from these forums. She came for advice not a commentary on her lifestyle vs others.

Is OP expecting the other parent to contribute towards that? If not, why bring it up? Seems on-topic to me, even if it doesn't make sense. And the OP mentions it's "medically beneficial" (whatever that entails), so it sounds like, OP is making a case, for getting the other parent to fund this. If I was the other parent, I would surely point this out.

She basically mentioned it as part of the statement that shes been shouldering all the costs because hes said no to everything and its now getting expensive. If she can prove its medically necessary as a special needs therapy then she could argue for having the costs shared. Its not a case of "my kid wanted a pony and I bought it".

I can't imagine he should be expected to pay for her decision to own amd maintain a horse, however do agree that therapeutic riding at a facility would be considered S.7 with the proper letters from the doctor.

One can also point out that you buy your own horse, and can afford all the expenses associated with that, apparently.
lol.
Wouldn't it just be cheaper for lessons, or some other lower cost option, than owning a horse and all the fees associated with that?
I am trying my hardest to get my kids what they need for the very least cost to him.

I work my ass off helping another person take hay off and they kick back part of it for our feed.

You'll do quite fine, start the process by detailing the budget, collect your invoices/receipts, etc. and put it all in writing. If you need some help drafting a letter, send me quick note.
Don't you just love it when some must make "asshole" comments?
