It's no secret that "Teen Mom 2" mom Leah Calvert has been having some money troubles. At least, not when she's talking about them on national television.
Zap2it confirms that the young mother's medical bills for her daughter, and previous debt are quickly building all around her, threatening the young woman's future.
And yet, a mysterious tweet has appeared on Calvert's Twitter page.
"I'm looking for a childs saddle and a child's handicapped saddle! We just got our first horse and the girls are going to be ready to ride!"
Horses are notoriously expensive animals to take care of, and obviously the idea of Calvert forking over so much horse-cash while her medical bills are backing up doesn't make a lot of sense.
Other users on Twitter note that- one pointing out that in a recent episode, Calvert couldn't even afford a wheelchair for her daughter, yet she can afford a horse now.
Another notes that the time and effort involved in caring for a horse may not be manageable for a busy mother of several children (and a reality star to boot.)
It's possible that horseback riding could be a form of physical therapy for Calvert's young child, but as of now we have no way of confirming if that's the case.
Calvert's problems are a serious matter- her daughter has a particular kind of muscular dystrophy that is incurable, and the cost of treating her is a small fortune. Here's what Calvert told In Touch Weekly.
"It's stressful because insurance doesn't cover the whole cost. One bill alone was $20,000."
Even for a reality star, that's a staggering amount. And paying for a horse on top of that can't be great for Calvert's finance.
For the sake of her daughter, hopefully she can work out all these money problems.
