I loved barrels as a kid, but I don’t think I could do them as fast as I did as a kid. My adult body is not cut out for that lol. I’ll stick to trail rides and the stuff in my lessons lol.

I’m so sorry

You’re welcome!

Wait what. Fr?

I know a lot of people who were just thrown on horses like that as kids. I have always ridden with a saddle and a helmet, but I was thrown on horses as a kid that I def should not have been on lmao. All green as hell except for my mare. My childhood mare was an old white Arabian that was a chubbier version of Sandy. Same attitude and coat pattern lol. She and I were going to do competitive barrel racing. She knew the pattern herself, so all I had to do was get on and say “let’s go” and she’d go through the barrel pattern on her own as fast as she could. All I had to do was hold on. She colicked before we could start racing for real, though.

She won’t be ridden that day. It’ll be far too busy because it’s spring shots day lol. I’ll def get pics and stuff when folks can get in the saddle lol

According to her old owner, she’s been ridden with mostly bareback pads and bitless bridles/hackamores. I’m opting for a snaffle bit for now just so I can have more control in the beginning in case she gets wound up. I have a really nice bareback pad on the way that has safe stirrups and an “oh shit” handle. I’m more comfortable in an actual saddle, so this bareback pad is the best parts of both lol.

She hasn’t been ridden in at least 7 years, so I’m going in expecting her to be green broke again. She might surprise me tho! She’s always surprising me with how smart she is! I have some friends who are pro trainers/horse flippers who said they’ll hop on her first to get a gauge on how much she remembers. That’s if she’s cleared for riding on the 30th. Everyone expects her to be, but you never know.

I sure fucking hope it does feel like that. I remote into at least ten separate computers a day to fix them… 🤮

Gotta go more unhinged than that. Send shit like, “Homie and I just smashed hella antelope with the drive thru chick at an Arby’s in Montana”

Thank you! Yeah I don’t plan on having cats again after mine pass. The fire was the final straw for that decision lol. My cat turned a stove burner on then knocked a tupperware onto it and that’s what caught fire.

I middle/high school the best sub was rumored to live out of the back of his station wagon and had cardboard boxes to extend the back of it for extra shelter. It didn’t help that the man embraced the rumor.

He once shared some pie with me when I was having a small breakdown in an empty room senior year due to my severe depression and from being bullied severely. He just offered me pie and we sat in silence and each ate a piece and then went on our way. It was nice.

Sheetz is the goddamn best my god.

AirBud except politics

“nice led headlights, wanna see an unregistered firearm?”

This week has gone by so slow. My cat caught my house on fire on Saturday and I’ve been dealing with the aftermath since. I’m fine as are my pets and my home is still habitable, part of my kitchen just got a lil crispy. It’s been one of the most stressful experiences of my life. My fire alarms didn’t go off and I woke up choking on smoke. I got lucky. I could have just died instead of choked.

Life pro tip: make sure your pets can’t turn on your stove. Get covers or clips for the knobs to animal-proof them.

Oh man I’m a horse girl AND history buff

It’s like it’s a gdang robot or something. I can’t imagine have a full blown conversation with AI. It seems so damn depressing

Lmao, even

I like to go kayaking. Putting them in the water is called launching
