Just a girl catering to her horse’s every whim

One of my barn mates consistently schedules the farrier for dates I can’t be there. She insists on being the one to schedule even though she has one horse and I have two. Dakota needs Dorm Gel to balance well but barn mate refuses to give it to her. So now either Dakota doesn’t get her meds… cont.

My brother has decided he wants to take Dakota to Youth Show for the Men’s WP since that class is always small. So now I have 5 months to somehow get her ready to not only show, but show with someone that isn’t me 🤠

🐎 People who think the solution is just "sit up and put your heels down" have never met inertia before
Like, I will sit up when my horse isn't flying backwards at 15 mph 3 seconds after going forward at 25 mph

One of my nicknames for Sweetie is “baby puppy” and my dad asked if she’s actually considered a puppy still… y’all she’s 5 and weighs 100 lbs 💀

I fear this post is proving the original comment’s point. You should be taking precautions/not working a horse so hard they *need* injections. And this is coming from a person whose horse gets numerous joints injected every year. A horse should not live a life that results in necessary injections.

I got a sneak peek of the Christmas pics I had done of Thing 1 and Thing 2 and I love them 🤩

I love feeding at the barn bc the horses all just walk themselves to their stalls. No running, I just open the gate, let 2-3 in at a time, and they come in calmly. Even the ones with stalls in the indoor arena and not main barn. Video of the perfect angel child as proof 🤩

The region I work in at my job is low on people this week so I volunteered to work a few hours on Friday before class. So now I get almost $100 to answer the phone/some emails for a bit

This is such a niche thing to be disappointed about, but they redid the bottle the 180 count Equioxx comes in and now it doesn’t fit in my tack box as well

Somebody just sent me a FB request and I don’t know them personally but we have several mutuals. I figured I might accept it, until I saw the second most recent post on their profile was a petition to make a “day of remembrance” for Charlie Kirk. I think not. Decline!

My friend is on her second strike of putting my stuff back incorrectly… I told her she has to put the reins back a certain way for this bridle or else the leather warps. So glad she listened 🙄

I just scheduled Dakota’s microchipping appt. Please pray for her during this difficult time 🙏
All the people that are mad about the new USEF microchipping guidelines are cracking me up. Heaven forbid you do something that doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things and will lead to better safety. The horror

Dakota and I got our scores back from the online show today. 65.227% in Intro 1 and 64.500% in Intro 4. We’re always a little lower in 4 so I’m aiming to work on improving that. Overall, not bad though. I’m planning to add Intro 2 for the next show. 6 more points earned for PAC too

Got the to barn and immediately saw another horse wearing Dakota’s old blanket I was going to sell. Alright no problem it can be washed and it was an honest mistake. Then my friend pulled up (we planned to ride together) and her bf I hate was with her 🤠

I’m the type of boarder that will always send pics to the other boarders when their horse is being cute. A good chunk of my horse pictures are of ones that aren’t mine bc I’m constantly playing paparazzi 🤣

Lily’s owner (aka my best friend) gave me a price for buying her and it’s very reasonable. So now I just need to start my big girl job so I can buy her when my brother ages out of 4-H and goes to college/whatever he’s doing. I can’t wait to grow my collection of bay paint mares. 🤗

Celebrating 22 laps around the sun today. No picture with Dakota yet as she ran away from me earlier. I’ll have to go back tonight when she’s inside, but I’m determined to get one. It’s a 7 year long tradition at this point.

Would y’all believe me if I told you there’s a horse in this picture? I can’t even tell you how long I searched for him outside. I needed to get him ready for Christmas pics and thought I was going to have to tell his owner he escaped instead. 🤦♀️

Enjoy some mediocre video screenshots from when Dakota and I filmed our online dressage show videos yesterday. Look at how she’s actually trying her best to stretch down and out for our free walk 🤩

Bit of a rough lesson tonight while we worked through some typical Dakota theatrics. I’m proud of her for actually working through it though instead of continuously losing her mind. I’m hoping to film two dressage tests this weekend for an online show so wish us luck. 🤞
