Living my lifelong dream to have my very own horses. Safe haven for retired horses, a random goat, and whole mess of other critters. Retired Air Force but not retired. No maga welcome here.
The cookie fairy made a delivery to the barn!

(One of my friends ordered these for the ponies)

I wish I could get sponsored by this company. My horses are obsessed with these treats!

The alt text is perfection on this one 😂😂😂
An international dressage rider was trying to get a photo of the beautiful sky over her fields last night and got photobombed last minute by a legend.

The horses decided to break into the barn and demolish all of our hay. They destroyed/ate 75% of what we needed to get through the rest of the month.

😑😑😑😑

Lazy Saturday morning after a late night at the barn.

We are down to one vehicle and my daughter needs it for work so I am basically on night shift for barn duties.

The horses do not care - it’s basically the same schedule as during the summer. Different outfit though - I’m cold lol

Ozzie’s face when I told him I can’t order anymore German horse muffins until next month. 😂😂

You Know is a mess. A silly silly mess.

He often walks around with his tongue sticking out - his teeth are fine, he’s just a goofy boy.

Zero personal space with Sabo.

Thank goodness I didn’t get one of the touch-me-not heelers. Sabo is a massive snuggle bug.

As someone who gets very overstimulated with too much noise, having a heeler and a hound dog in the house is way too much some days.

They’re so happy. And LOUD.

This cold snap has me feeling like I need to stay cozy. I basically moved from the bed to the couch and I’m wrapped in a blanket with a cup of coffee. I do not want to be productive today at all.

If you can’t see the northern lights, store bought is fine.

Kyle is a horse. A boy horse who had a hidden testicle 🤦‍♀️

It’s not an inexpensive surgery so please help my good friend with the unexpected bill.

Kyle is also a Swiftie, I’m sure. 💕
Swifties: this is a raffle to raise money for Kyle’s surgery. (See alt text) Tickets are $2 a spot or $10 for 6. Shipping included to the the US. Non-Domestic Swifties can join if they pay shipping over the $20 I’ve allotted.

My dear Roxie is really showing her age (28) lately. She’s had a couple of bad days followed by some good days.

I don’t want to think about making the choice for her, but I might have to soon. She’s not gaining weight, her poo is massively runny, and no matter what, she isn’t getting any younger.

Probably my favorite picture of me in uniform. Of course there’s a horse.

We actually used this picture on my retirement ceremony program lol

(It’s Freya, my lovely but terrified walking horse)

Only in SC do you need a blanket and fly boots at the same time.

The Not My Donkey Crew diligently protected me from my own dog yesterday 😂😂

Jenny, the youngest, was the most protective - she kept putting herself between me and Sabo. Honestly, so cute…but that’s my dog lol

Sabo had a very busy barn day today. Lots of running and yelling and more running. He is currently passed out snoring next to me. 💕💕

I feel like the skyline could use some cheering up. I’m going to do some free readings tonight using these two decks. You’ll get an Oracle and a Tarot pull. These are free but I am trying to pay for Kyle’s surgery so tips are super appreciated.

She has brought our family so much joy and chaos 💕💕

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

What the hell is this thing???

Yes, I left him alone - he’s in nature and minding his own business. I initially thought he was a piece of plastic and I *almost* picked him up 😂😂😂😭😭😭

Not My Dog - Lila

She’s a dachshund/terrier mix and she’s not technically supposed to sleep in bed with me.

But I can’t say no to that face.

(Her owner is fine with it, she’s just worried I’ll be annoyed. As if lol)

Nighttime check with one of my all time favorite Not My Horse - Joy.

She’s always been a polite mare but over the years I like to think she’s gotten to know me. Tonight, she asked for hugs and just wanted to rest her head near my chest for a while.

My whole heart is melted. I love her 💕

One of my friends dropped by the barn with some horse blankets (yay!) and You Know thought this would be the PERFECT time to show everyone he knows how to give kisses.

The problem is he didn’t warn me first so I basically turned around to a horse nose in my face 😂😂

These horses are aooooo funny 😂

Freya got her teeth done and was pretty heavily sedated - I went to check on her and got this out of character behavior lol

She is on another planet 😂😂
