Oldies get the goodies!

Brody turns 25 this year. He’s such a gentleman at dinner time that I let him lick the bowl when we are done feeding mash. 😊

This is his choice. Brody’s strategy for coping with uncomfortable weather and the insects that come with it, is this.
There are fewer flies in that corner of the stall.

For context, he can come and go from this shelter as he pleases.

A worthy investment for your feed room.

This. Is. Fucked. Up.

Foraging is a vital behavior for horses. The inability to forage has a detrimental impact on their mental and emotional health, leading to all sorts of problems. There are creative solutions, however!

Seen at the recent Eventing Showcase at Aiken Horse Park. What a great way to up-cycle your old trailer! #horses

Lokalita is a real barn cat. She loves being in and around the horsey stuff. Loves it!

Lokalita…

because the baby schema effect releases oxytocin in our bodies, and we need that 💩 to prepare for the next news cycle.

Legit…

The social order of horse groups does involve a dominance hierarchy (as much as I hate to admit that). However, do not misinterpret the word ‘dominance’ for aggression. The hierarchy is a family style one, rather than an order based solely on agonistic (aggressive) behaviors.

My lap was occupied, so she opted for the other Italian in the room. 🤭

Lokalita stands for women’s rights! She is a working girl, after all; a mole hunter by trade.

We got a letter from the university president today explaining how much $$$ our research will lose with the slash & burn at NIH… $215 million. Yeah, lots of fraud in cancer research, Musty Pants. Jackass.

These two mares… I love them sooo much.

Oh, and the barn. I love the barn so much. And Buck. I love him so much!

I’m just full of oxytocin rn, so I love everything. Had a great ride on Clarabelle. That will do it every time. Well, that and a bag of sour gummies.

The last of the “hot tape”. This will soon be a sacrifice paddock, gracefully bordered by permanent fencing, separating the space for my easy keepers from my hard keeper (Siouxsie Sioux).

The feed room.

It’s muuuuch fancier than we planned, but it’s a multipurpose space, so we figured why not?! 😍

Every day it gets a little more magical. 🌟

Who’s gonna tell them? 🤣

I can’t wait for this barn to be done so I can move on to sharps patrol and remediation!
