I got the AirBnb booked and my PTO got approved. Now I just need to wait for signups to come out 😁
I found a show at WEC Ohio in June that offers dressage classes and just requested to book the perfect AirBnb only 4 miles away. I really hope everything works out 🤞

My mom is the one who helps me film videos for online shows. She always refers to Dakota as her first grandchild and tells her to be good. You can hear her talking to Dakota in the background of some of the videos too. I love it

Yesterday: got plowed down by a friend’s horse and everything now hurts.
Today: got yelled at/talked down to by a coworker for someone else’s mistake.
It’s only Tuesday and I’m over this week.

My lil 14.3 ex western pleasure horse just got a 71.63% in our most recent dressage test. She’s only been doing this for less than a year after wp for over a decade. I’m so happy with her

Skeebie’s current sleep set up: her designated couch spot (no one else sits here), 2 bones, 3 stuffed animals, and a sock. She’s living the good life

Shoutout to Mad Barn Omneity for all this growth (plus some on the underneath) even if it does make Dakota look unkempt rn

About once a month/once every other month I get frustrated with Dakota’s bridle path and hack at it with scissors. Today was that day. I regret nothing

Jk I decided that we only live once and we might as well go. There’s about a 50/50 chance that Dakota is either perfect or loses her mind. We shall see!
Having a particular horse is all fun and games until you can’t go a clinic you want to attend bc explaining her buttons to random people is impossible. Like yeah, she has western pleasure fundamentals. But she also does her own thing and I can’t put into words how to ride her

Went to the grocery store and was immediately stressed out by all the idiots there. So I bought Skeebie a new toy. Mood = improved

One of the barn kids has posting about how stir crazy she’s going after being stuck in her house for almost a week bc of weather. So tmr I’m picking her up, taking her to see her lease horse, and then dropping her at cheer practice. I take my job as former barn rat very seriously

Scores came back for a couple of our online shows and we got a 68%, 68.41%, and 69.55%! Plus multiple 8.0s and our first ever 9.0 on some of our maneuvers. Very happy with the perfect angel child 🥰

If this person on FB doesn’t stop trying to push 24/7 turnout down my throat as a cure all the arthritis I’m going to lose my mind. Would I love for Dakota to be out 24/7? Absolutely. But when I say that’s not an option it doesn’t mean try to guilt trip me into saying something else 🙄

Shoutout to my favorite barn kid for measuring Dakota’s knee the other day so I could order this. Hoping the red light helps with her arthritis 🤞

I’ve figured out the longest time Dakota can go without seeing me is 48 hours. Anything longer than that and she starts wreaking havoc
