IMDB rating: 4.30
Plot: Honey Danels (Jessica Alba) is a 22-year-old, sexy, tough-minded, part-black, part-Latina hip-hop dancer in New York’s East Harlem who dreams of making it big as a music video choreographer. She teaches hip-hop dancing at a local youth center and encourages the local kids to attend to keep them off the streets and out of trouble. When luck shines on Honey in the form of a famous music video director, named Michael, who casts her in one music video, she’s encouraged to make the transition from dancer to choreographer. But Honey’s sudden success comes with a price when Michael refuses to take “no” for an answer to his sexual advances and then tries to sabotage her career by blackballing her out of the business.

Why do you have to be 21?
Why do you have to be 21 to adopt a horse from New Vocations?? I’m 18, which is legally an adult… what, do you get a free bottle of vodka with the horse or something? It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. I know a lot of 18-year-olds that are much more responsible/stable financially than some of the 21-year-olds I know.
They said that I can fill it out again using my parent’s information, but my mom said she doesn’t want to do that. So I guess that I’m just fucked and I’m not going to be able to adopt Hushaby Honey, which I think is the best horse I have found yet.
Why do they have that age limit? Why not 18??? Maybe I should go find some hobo off the street to let me use his name. But then again he wouldn’t pass the minimum requirement for annual income lol.
I don’t know what she is thinking… I think she just doesn’t want to be involved, period.
How tragic! Now you can’t buy your own horse? Whatever will you do?

thats dumb and its horrible that now you wont be able to adopt a horse. You would think a horse adoption thing would let 18 year olds adopt. Maybe try to talk your mom into it. If not, will your dad sign. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings?? try asking around family, see if anyone will sign

It’s to protect the horse. Most 18yr olds are not established enough to carry the kind of responsibility. Sure, some 18yr olds are more stable than some 21 yr olds, or even 35 yr olds for that matter; however, there has to be a threshold that is upheld, or they would have to treat each case individually, which doesn’t make any sense.
You’ll be glad this rule is in place someday. Delayed gratification builds character…

Do you have an aunt or uncle or someone? Would your trainer sign for you?
What are the requirements and why doesn’t your mom want to do it? Is it like a cosigner where, if YOU don’t pay, their credit goes down?

This "talk your mom into it" is exactly the reason (one of them at least, there are more) By the time you’re 21, there is a better chance of having a regular job, perhaps a degree, reliable vehicles and no "having to ask mom". Buck up, you’ll be there soon enough and when you look back you’ll be amazed at how much you’ve changed between 18 to 21, and realize that they were correct in withholding adoptions. It’s seems unfair now, but their main goal is the safety and security of the horse and the horse alone, remember that.

Meagan, how about I adopt you and you can use my details???? ROTFL

To adopt from this place, you agree to certain conditions….in other words, you make a contract with them…21 is the legal age to make and sign a contract, period. There are good reasons for that, and many have already been mentioned here in the other answers. If you are close enough, you might like to donate some time to this organization and who knows, in the process, find one that is even better suited for you and your needs. 18 may be a legal adult for some things, but not this.

Do you have an Aunt or Uncle or something that will let you use there name? That sad. I don’t see what’s wrong with 18.

What are the chances that you could get a secured loan without a co-signer? It isn’t just about your age. I’d guess that even if you were 21, you might not meet the criteria without a co-signer making a financial committment. The chances of most 18 year olds, and even many 21 year olds, being financially independent to the degree that they could afford to support both themselves and a horse are slim. If your mom doesn’t want to sign for any financial committments, then that sends a clear message. I think "adult" in this circumstance has to do with financial security and ability to afford the care and maintenance of the horses the organization places. I know it’s disappointing, but if you think about it, isn’t that in the best interest of these horses who have already often been abandoned or abused before they came to the rescue facility?

They probably set that age limit because many 18 year olds are still in high school, or are in college, still living off of their parents’ incomes, etc. I really don’t know, rules never make that much sense.
I would just ask your trainer, or family friend, or another family member, to use their information.

It’s the same way at the KyEHC. Which sucks, since they can get some really nice horses, and their max adoption fee is 500 dollars. The good ones always go fast, though.
But they all get evaluated by a vet, and someone determines their potential…
I wonder if it’s because a lot of eighteen year olds head off to college, and they don’t care/have time for their horses anymore? It’s just stupid.
But why doesn’t your mom want to use her information to adopt the horse? What’s the problem?
