When it's spring and the pony is very roan

Bosal shaping committee

Tassels ♥️

Shaping the new bosal tonight but the new headstall is so cute

is it tacky to email the zoo and say like... Look I saw your hoofstock today and I would Love to be your new farrier because someone needs to

And everything's about to get way more expensive so that's fun

Oof, self employment taxes are... Painful this year

She was in her winter coat so you couldn't really tell she was roan and also I had fully roached her mane and forelock but like still

Still thinking about the time Bree made a joke tiktok about Soleil being a przewalski's horse (around the time of Shrek/Fiona) and it got 100s of thousands of views and hundreds of comments telling her to return Soleil to the zoo

hat

I really did not want to do a new social media frankly but literally Twitter is unusable, every other post is Elon even if you blocked him? And random rightwing misinfo posts inbetween doesn't matter what your content preference are set to. I miss Vine

Two ships passing in the night in opposite directions, godspeed with your quest

Is it west coast sober if I'm trying to give up alcohol and replace it with weed gummies

Don't forget that I lost my car keys when I hit the dirt one of the times and cried

Second appointment with client whose horse I started on in October today. Horse had been lame for 3 years, not ridden. Owner says he has been doing so much better that she is considering riding again 🥰

Hard lesson this year: My "boundaries" regarding work need to be somewhere shy of the absolute physical limit of what I can force my body to do. It's ok to protect my wellbeing.

You just have to warm it up for 10 minutes, shift fully up and down through every gear three times, gun it, ease off, and gun it again, I don't get what's so hard

Bree and I went together to take the new car home, so that she could drive the old one and I could drive the new one and get them back to the house... She could not get old car to move at all, so I had to get in and beat it home

Every client this week: wow you got a new car!

Love you guys but did you not hear the noises my old car was making last time I was here? 😭 That poor thing was limping out of your driveway

Depressed, tacked up megafauna and tiny tiny Tango standing behind her

I love pictures where the perspective makes Tango look unreasonably small

His form could have been better tho

I keep thinking about this. New Years Resolution is to be this guy

Soleil and I on the trail, between the ears view. She is a golden dun and her ears look like they have been dipped in chocolate

she has such good ears

Today we passed a rest stop on the highway and there was a guy just doing push-ups on the ground in the parking lot next to his car

Oh were you mentoring with Philip?

2 best recipes I got as follows

Thrush/soft soles- 1 part sugardine (9 parts white sugar 1 part betadine) 1 part French green clay, add betadine to make a spreadable consistency)

Best dipping sauce for fries- 3 parts mayo 1 part sri racha generous shake of cheddar popcorn seasoning, black pepper

I got a super nice text this morning from the owner of a very lame horse who I shod for the first time a week or two ago, of him trotting out comfortably. Of course this means I am overdue for the inevitable texts about lost shoes, injuries, etc

Pop up in the Taco Bell app about the Nacho Fries Lovers Pass, which allows me one order of fries per day for 30 days for $10

Nacho fries in my lap, I'm eating in my car between clients

For the next 30 days, life is worth living again

This is just a moose on a $10 game camera

Essentially, a moose on a game camera at night

Another banger from Bree when asked to please send me a picture of my horse
