Fair point!
Yeee! Best girl Sandy Lou!
Got her mane and forelock tangled in an absurd amount of burrs. Took over an hour and a bunch of lubricant (horse lotion) to get it all out
She does get so many fairy braids. I always apologize to the fae when brushing out everything and I leave little treats out for them as a peace offering. I’d rather not risk being on their bad side and it brings a lil whimsy to my life. I’m not a firm believer in that sort of thing, but it’s fun to practice little traditions and rituals that are harmless.
Idk if it feels good, but it def ain’t painful for Sandy now that her feet are healthy. They were so bad at the last barn because of the conditions there.
Omg they do. I’m so glad Sandy behaves for this one. He hated her last farrier and would just be a bitch. She’s nothing but an angel with this guy.

13·1 month agoShe’s had a hard life. I spent two years rehabbing her and teaching her how to be loved. She was wasting away in a stall at a different farm for 6 years before we met. She’s defied all expectations and is so happy now. She’s loving life now and I’m so glad lol. When she and I met, people warned me to stay away and said she was psycho. She was just lonely and bored and needed love. By the time we left the old barn, people loved her.

9·1 month agoShe really is! Most people don’t think she’s as old as she is either because she doesn’t look or act like it. She turned 27 on the 11th.

6·2 months agoI plan on fighting it tooth and nail. My mom is buddies with a lawyer and I do that lawyer’s firm’s IT at work, so she may be able to help us or at least point us in the right direction.
We are starting with sending our 30 page evidence report to the insurance and adjusters and going from there. I’d rather not have to go to court because I can’t afford it, but I will if it means I can get this whole mess taken care of.

3·3 months agoThank you! My neurologist looked at the CT and discussed my symptoms with me. She called in some meds and wants me to make a follow-up appointment. I’m feeling a bit better now, and hopefully I’ll be recovered enough by the end of the weekend for work to not be hell on Monday.

3·3 months agoOh yeah. Hopefully he comes back here for all of his breaks.

5·3 months agoLmao I have been told he is tall, dark and handsome
She was a brood mare at one point, so she could definitely be taking on a more motherly role with him lol
I would love that. She doesn’t make friends easily so having him come stay for his breaks would be great.

Tysm. It’s going to be rough, esp when I return home, but I’ll get through it. I have to
