  • The dude who owns the trailer park across the street from me almost had our entire street’s zoning changed because he was trying to make a gated community. Turns out he didn’t have permits to build everything he was and his whole plan fell apart. Then one of the prefab houses he had trucked in got hit by lightning and burned down. He also hasn’t sold a single structure he’s built.












  • You’re welcome! Running a boarding stable is a nightmare. I’ll stick to one horse lol. She’s expensive enough lol. She’s 26, and will be turning 27 in September. I’m hoping to get her to 30. She also may be able to be ridden again if the vet gives it the okay. I’ll find out that when spring vet checks happen lol.

    If you snoop on my profile, she’s like the main thing I post lol. I’m actually going to be putting up a new pic of her in a few minutes lol.






  • I’m sorry to hear you’re having a rough time and I hope things improve for you!

    Thank you! I grew up with horses, so I’ve always been into it. I had a ten year break starting when I was 16 before getting back into the whole equestrian thing as an adult. Been back at it for almost two years now and I actually just got official ownership the mare I’ve been rehabbing for like a year and a half. Hoping she’ll be saddle ready in the spring lol



  • My beagle: Mom made a sandwich. It smelled delicious so I screamed at her so she’d know I wanted her to share. Mom did not share. My devastation is unreal and I must let the entire neighborhood know.

    My doodle: Mom wouldn’t let me eat the very tasty looking plastic fork. My devastation is unreal. I must have my beagle brother let the entire neighborhood know.




  • Thank you! This might sound weird, but I’ve really really enjoyed nursing her back to health. It’s been such a long, hard road but seeing it all pay off like it has been is so gratifying.

    Animal husbandry is something I’ve been passionate about my whole life, though. I spent my first ten years surrounded by animals being rehabbed and spent lots of time in the veterinary clinic my biodad worked at. And don’t even get me started on how often I helped my childhood neighbors with their farm work and all the stuff I did on the horse farm I kept horses at as a kid.

    I come from a long line of farmers on my mom’s side. My grandfather had ducks and cows and horses and was raised by his grandparents who were farmers that had left the Amish.

    I would love to have enough land to have my own livestock, but I settled for a house with a yard that’s about 1/4 of an acre. I have some ducks and they’re great but I don’t plan on getting more after they all pass because they are messy and expensive and their outside enclosure needs constant repairs and it’s all hard to keep up with. I also don’t plan on getting any more cats after mine pass. I want to just have my dogs and a horse. I can get my time with cats at the barn. There’s so many running around there lol.

    I’ve had so many critters running around for my whole life so It’ll be weird without a menagerie, but it’ll fit my lifestyle better. I live alone, so keeping up with everything in all aspects of my life is a nightmare at times lol.

    Holy shit I just wrote a novel. I apologize lol. My sleeping meds are kicking in and they tend to make me ramble.
