I’ve never seen a pony purposely pin someone against a fence and squish them. Also rearing and attempting double barrel kicks. I think this pony must have killed a child and been dumped lmao

We trimmed one hoof perfectly fine and then she said “I’m out” and DRAGGED both of us, kicked, reared, and I shit you not I have never ever seen this - physically BODIED us against the fence

Ok I tested the pony yesterday and was like, I guess it’s halter broke and picks up its feet - we’ll get it a trim.

THE PONY CHOSE COMBAT

We trailered the ladies up the mesa onto some forest service land and they were perfect excellent ponies

Like a perfect little miniature (12h?) quarter horse somehow

We named a pony Rhianna

Is this where the party is

She

Yeah like the 5k doesn’t feel like the tiny step forward it could be, it feels more like a setup to blame people with? NM has started free childcare & college which I hope succeeds and spreads to the rest of the country but until we fix healthcare & businesses hold over people nothing will be enough

When she has good days she’s just so so sweet and curious and interested. I love her so much

My perfect Wango 🥰❤️

It pisses me off so so so so much. I don’t want to be around rich fucks

Went to dinner last night bc people are in town and they were all like “so what did you do today?” And forgot that we like WORK AND HAVE JOBS

and they’re not understanding how this is stressful but like they got 3x more stressed when their car battery died because they didn’t know you had to replace those

And I do sound like a fucking entitled ass but we do have family with $$$ and they’re like ‘could you ask your job if you could park an RV there and live there’ and I am gnashing my teeth

We’re having to move out of our long term rental and it’s extremely stressing me out. I want to be able to buy a place because renting sucks but it’s all so expensive and stressful

🚶🚶🚶

However as she proceeded to sprint around I did give our lunging whoa cue and she did do a big stop so who’s reallllly feral huh

Here’s Miss Chunky Feral after remembering treats > running

Tango had a bug in her ear that was bothering her so I was messing with it, brought over the swat which she sniffed and absolutely hated, then Rachel cut on a power tool and Tango was ✌️ OUT

She will never be tamed lol

Yeehaw

In rescue training news ✨
1 Pixie the little bay got adopted out and is going to be a mountain trail pony
2 Snickers the chestnut has chilled out considerably and is halfway through the adoption process with someone rn
3 got a new pretty pony to train. I’ll be taking her to a clinic next weekend!

Wango hours

I would not be able to stop myself from adding like black dye pronghorn markings to him. I love his buttcheeks 😂

Rescue is going to go pick up an Arabian that looks young and not crippled so I might have ✨two✨ Arabians

My Feral guy now will walk towards me, with hesitation of course, and lets me move around a bit without flying backwards. We also got hit by a dust devil and he didn’t kill me so 10/10

Chaos goat spooked and hurt my hand and I just don’t like dealing with super spooky horses

Absolutely perfect adopter for barrel horse came and rode her. Also have someone interested in the chaos goat which I hope works out because I… don’t like working with her lol

There’s a fourth horse but I didn’t need to test his tying & other skills because he’s halter-able but actually just freight trains over people and will pin you up against fences and therefore somehow has negative handleability

Obviously it’s good that they’re all tame (less work + adoptability) but it makes me look insane trying to incite them into pulling back
