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!

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.

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

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. 💕💕

12 years ago today the world was blessed with our dear Boo-Ga-Roo.

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 😂😂😂😭😭😭

It’s way better than my attempt with my phone!!

The moon is pretty glorious in person. 💕

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 😂😂

Walked out to do night check and managed to get VERY close to a herd of deer without us seeing each other.

They suddenly moved, I yelled in surprise, they ran off, offended. 😂

Got into the barn and this sweet mare was all “you good? Great. I need more hay” 😂😂😂
November 4, 2025 at 1:54 PM
I was digging through old pics today and I think this is the first time I rode Roxie. At the time, she belonged to someone else - 3 months later and she was mine.

My first mare. My best girl. I got so damn lucky.

Also, peep Nibblet in the background lol

I’m also back with this little sweetie pie - who is currently trying to convince me to share my cereal lol

House/farm sitting for friends the next couple of days and this handsome gentleman will be keeping me company.

His name is Oscar and I love him - he used to be a barn cat and then decided that wasn’t the life for him 😂😂
