After almost five years of saying that Shakira rears like a movie horse, but no photos to prove it, she kindly demonstrated her skill in the same part of the field that I was.

Spring greetings from this little nuisance. Right now we still have a tad too much energy in this small horse, but it's kinda a spring thing and I hope we shall get a normal rocket level at some point, not just opinionated I wanna run around like an idiot rocket eventually. XD

This is a picture from half a year ago, but it occurred to me yesterday while I was keeping Lilja’s head in place during her second treatment that these animals really have to trust us a hecking lot to just let us do these things to them.

She’s been drugged to stay calm and feel a bit less as her teeth get filed down from being like a staircase to nearly straight (it was bad, now it’s almost good). Machines that make loud noises and vibrate get put in her mouth and there’s weird smelling dust everywhere. Meanwhile her human is gently patting her hair and praising her for staying put, and half an hour later she’s back with Fjara and eating hay like nothing happened.

Same goes for the other 3 (namely Týra, Solita and Ieniemini), who just come walking up to you after all that, asking for a treat (and a brush bc it’s shedding season and they’re all itchy ladies).

I don’t really think about it often, but sometimes it’ll hit me how much they trust that we have their best interests at heart and they know this in their own way.

The dictionary definition of “soft” contains this image, probably.

Coolest thing about lord of the rings? The king of horses shows up. It appears he is no different from all other horses

Happy New Year from the red woman and myself! We actually had snow at some point woohoo! Had some lovely hacks, had some lovely clinics...had some quite frustrating hacks and clinics too. Lol. She still can't concentrate properly, especially not when hacking with other horses. I'd love to just find a way to get her focus to stay on me. Drives me nuts. Would be so great if she could just. Help me a bit by not being a pain. XD Anyway, gonna try work on my seat, because it sucks and her focus. Let's go for a horse year full of funky horse shenigans, I guess.

When you own a Hollywood Dun It line quarter horse...every ride is a therapy session...for them anyway lol Almost every single Dun It I know is like this; too many feelings for such small horses.

Kin been a great horse for me to learn with, though. He's the maximum combo of smart and emotional, which usually translates to "Hi, I'm going to be extremely dramatic and finnicky about how I process what you just told me to do but also I'll learn it 3 seconds flat and then can apply it to anything else." which makes him look ditzy as heck.

He'll do anything for you if the rider can successfully help him manage his Big Feelings.
