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. 🤞

You want to know what would be really nice to have right now? Dakota’s quarter sheet. You know what I have no idea what I did with? Dakota’s quarter sheet.

Almost had my credit card paid off but then I had to buy both of Dakota’s supplements. And she’ll need more Equioxx in 2 weeks 🫠

Had one coworker tell me I was doing a good job and say I’m doing an enjoyable work with, then turned around and had another one treat me like shit. It’s all about balance 🤩

Imagine my surprise when I was doing headcount after feeding this evening only to realize one horse was missing bc Lily decided to crawl through the electric fence for the second time this week 🤠 Luckily she was just on the track system but trying to find her in the pitch black was oh so much fun

Sometime Sweetie chooses to sleep in positions that don’t make it conducive for me to also sleep in my (aka her) bed. So what do I do? Twist myself into ridiculous shapes bc I refuse to disturb the princess puppy’s sleep.

I’m currently laying in bed and making myself cry watching this video of baby Sweetie bc she was so cute. Mind you she’s currently laying right next to me in bed but I’m still making myself emotional lol

I’m the only person allowed to call Dakota an old lady. They’re fighting words coming from anyone else 🤣

Crappy video ss but I’m so happy with Dakota’s weight now. Her top line also is getting slightly better despite not working much. I still want her just a little heavier going into winter but it’s still soooo much better than the other month. Proof that summer just isn’t her friend. 🫠

I had to deworm the horses tonight and couldn’t get the cap off Dakota’s. So ofc I used my teeth and I *may* have gotten a little bit in my mouth. But at least now I won’t get cancer or COVID!

Dakota has an abscess rn and is convinced she’s dying. After attempting to soak her foot today I’ve decided I’d rather deal with her post surgery again than this. I think she lasted a whole 5 minutes before spilling the Epsom salt concoction. Send thoughts and prayers for both of us. 🫠

I let my friend borrow my bridle bc she doesn’t have one for her new horse yet. This is how she put it back, aka nothing like how it was. My eye is twitching.

I love when people at the barn think it’s funny that Dakota is glued to my hip. Like yes I’ve had her 7 years now and we’re emotionally bonded. She goes nowhere new (or even some places she knows) without me. She’s clingy and I love it

PAC points were officially updated and Dakota has won her first APHA award with me and my first ever. And to think that my little western pleasure pony earned it in her first ever season showing western dressage. 🥹

Dakota’s been in this habit of trying to walk away from the mounting block while I’ve been getting on. In less than five minutes I trained her to stand still with only a handful of Tums and some butt scratches. R+ for the win 🥳
