I usually bring bananas because the older horses I mainly interact with have worn down teeth. I'll make sure to give them an extra couple banana chunks for you tho
Lol it's nothing bad. Just brushing, riding, and hanging out with the critters
Vinegar is also great at getting smells out of stuff. It's excellent for animal smells. I use a little in each load of laundry because my fave hobby is doing stuff with horses and I also have a beagle with a natural hound stink. It gets out all the animal stank and a 2 gallon jug costs $3 at the local dollar store.
I also used the stuff to deep clean my carpets to help out a disabled cat I owned. He had trouble determining where the litter box was because he was blind and brain damaged and the person who was in my house before me didn't clean up after their cats. Most of the smell was gone, but just enough was there to confuse my boi.
10/10 recommend vinegar.
Hell yeah, white baby
I found myself going to my mom's place every day for dinner for a week and taking leftovers home. Now she's just automatically freezing portions for me. She knows my ass is BROKE
Happy to see PA is on this list as well. Maybe my state isn't as fucked as it seems?
Honestlyyyy.
My biggest issue rn is credit card debt. My dog needed multiple surgeries and my car needed fixed. I have 2 maxed out cards and no interest until November. It's only like 6k to pay off, but it's still overwhelming because I've never had to deal with this type of thing before. I think I can get it all paid off before November, but it's still a daunting task.
Rip my fun summer plans.
It's prolly the drugs keeping him awake
The only person I've seen actually benefit from back surgery is my sister getting rods put along her spine for her scoliosis. It helped her tremendously. She has some recurring nerve pain from it, but her organs aren't being fucked up anymore and her back doesn't hurt constantly. She also got so much taller.
I've had friends legit pity me because I'm a virgin at 27. Like, I struggled with sexuality for most of my adult life, only figuring out I am gay after 3 boyfriends. I'm not in a rush to get a gf or have sex.
Now my closest group of friends bully me in a friend way about being single and it's hilarious because they don't actually pity me or whatever. They respect me and all that and the jokes are just fun between us all.
I sat on the bench in front of his stall and he didn't immediately start playing with my hair and I got confused. Turns out he was snoozing.
He's totally blind, but that doesn't stop him. He's constantly causing mischief. He ripped the religious head covering off of one the instructors and wouldn't give it back to her. I had to shield her with my coat while she wrestled with him because she can't let men other than her husband see her hair. We both laughed about the whole thing
I won't have any new Sandy pics for a couple of weeks. My dog was a goblin and ate toys and had to have surgery to get the toys out. :(
I'll be posting pics of other horses in the meantime. They're all great, but not as wonderful as Sandy lol.
Doc is the horse that I'm currently using for my lessons. He's kinda old, but still sound enough to ride. He likes to do an old man shuffle kinda walk and I have to constantly kick to get him to pick up his damn feet.
He is very affectionate and we have a game where we just push each other. He can tell if I'm in a bad mood and gets extra cuddly and playful on those days.
Sandy kept making noises at him as if she was bragging about how she had so much space to herself to have fun lol.
I only went out to put her blanket on, but saw how energetic she was and waited 3 hours to get time in the arena with her lol. It's just too muddy to work with her outside.
She trotted and cantered on a lunge line, we practiced backing up on command, practiced barn manners, and we walked over some poles. 10/10 a good girl.
She got to trot around on a lunge line and we worked on barn manners.
He is also very affectionate. Love himb.
Didn't get a better pic because she started being very bad for me. We're working on her manners, but it's slow-going. She's gotten away with a lot for a long time because nobody who interacted with her corrected her until I came along.
Chrome is completely blind, but that doesn't let that stop him. You can still see the mischief in his eyes. If you're in front of his stall, anything is fair game for him to grab.
He tore off the religious head covering of one of the riding instructors the other day. It was a disaster getting it back on properly without any men seeing her hair. I shielded her with my coat and Chrome just kept trying to take the covering.
Gonna be a long week without horse time.
Looking forward to going out next Friday more than usual because I get to take my sister with me. My parents want to go on a date and they asked that I keep my sister occupied that night. I asked if she wanted to go see the horses and she got so excited lol.
Oh shit... Who spilled the beans? Clyde, Doc? Dozer!?!
