She’s broken crossties before. When she had thrush in her hooves, she broke out of some when I was trying to treat the infection. She is old, but does NOT act like it. She’s strong physically and in her will lol. It’s typical of her breed, especially Arabian mares. They’re my fave breed because they’re a challenge at times, but also so smart and bond with people more than other breeds.

Oh hell no. If she wanted out, she’d break them. She stands still in the crossties because she loves the attention I give her.

Thank you. And it was pneumonia. It sucked but the meds I’m on for it are helping.

As for Sandy’s blanket, it’s the most fashionable one I’ve seen so far at the barn. Rainbow is totally ber color

I’ll get the bbq ready

Thank you! And yes! I had a few barn cats hanging out with and helping me. It was nice. Weather wasn’t bad and it was quiet.

I call that barn cat Orion. Idk what his name actually is. I have names for almost all of the animals lol. Most are 1000000% incorrect.

11 years lol. She looks like a baby because she’s little lol

I’m one of those people who got diagnosed with lupus. My life is just a House meme now.

I also deal with DNS that totally can’t be DNS like 3x/week

Lmao right? She knows what she likes lol.

And thank you! I got some more meds called in that will hopefully help me out.

Sandy is 26, so she’s been fully grown for a bit lol. She struggles with her weight, so I like to blanket her so she doesn’t lose as much. She almost died last winter and it’s taken all year to get her back into shape. I have her on a much better diet now since she moved farms and she has so many good people looking out for her, but I’m still a worry wart.

She’s fine with being blanketed, thankfully. She’s just a typical Arabian mare and causes problems on purpose. She’s hard to wrangle most days because she likes to play chase with me before we do grooming and all that jazz. The problem is that her current pasture is multiple acres and has a whole herd in it that are all nosy and bothersome. God forbid any geldings try to say hi to us. She has absolutely no patience for little boys

Thank you! Congrats as well!

My deeply red town elected all democrats into positions of power. My entire COUNTY flipped from red to blue on Tuesday. I was absolutely floored. I’m feeling hopeful for the first time in years

Ty! It’s the changing of the seasons. It gets me every time, esp when it gets colder. It’ll take a couple weeks to adjust.

I’m already looking for a better job. My current job is so goddamn toxic. It’s hard because the market for my kind of work is ABYSMAL. I have all of my friends asking their employers for things and I’m considering taking up an easy part time gig on weekends if I can get back in with the nonprofit I worked for in college

I’ve been making plans to go out and help the cause. It’s been hard because I’m barely surviving with the income I make and my health has been pretty bad. I do remind everyone I know to vote and I provide information on things to those people so they can make informed decisions. I’m going to look into online stuff that I can do to help and I’m going to the next No Kings thing

Pennsylvania. My town is specifically in a rural part of SW PA.

Looks like my entire county flipped!

I’m hopeful for the first time in a looooong time.

My town voted in all dems for positions of power and I’ve never been more surprised

My deeply red town voted in all dems for positions of power. I’ve never been more surprised.

She is! She’s finally considered not overweight! She’s also gaining muscle, which I didn’t expect!

Moving her was such a good idea. She’s thriving!

Clawing me is too much effort. She’s lazy. She also doesn’t really interact with me too much. She’s just kinda there. She ADORES my mom though lol
