I was watching Young Frankenstein with some friends in college in a secluded part of the student center and some rando came up to us and told us, in great detail, about how her cousin raped her repeatedly when they were younger.

Young Frankenstein was ruined for me and I still can't watch it a decade later.

What kind of duck tho? I have some ducks, so you gave me introgued

 

I switched her blanket from her medium weight to light weight since the next few days are gonna be nice but the nights will be cold. I'm so happy with how much of a winter coat she got! It's gonna be so much fun to brush out!

She's also still maintaining a good weight!

She got an apple today, too. My little sister gave me a bag of apples she didn't want and told me that she wanted me to give them to the horses. I don't like raw apples most of the time, so I took them to the barn to share.

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.

The horse. The instructor is cute, too, but engaged and I don't really have an interest in her in that way lol.

Oh man that sounds awesome

 

I'm going on my first trail ride of 2026. My instructor's fiancee won't be around that day, so she's taking me, her friend, and one of her younger students on a trail ride.

We intend to be out for 2 hours, but may make the ride longer if we collectively want to lol. I'll be riding the horse named Ginger and I'm stoked. She's so fun to ride and is so pretty.

 
 

Gotta pour one out for the homie.

He was an incredible lesson horse and took care of his riders. He was gentle and sweet and patient. He took me on my first trail ride in 12 years last year and was such a trooper, even when I fell off of him. He just stood there and waited for me to get back on.

Rip Buddy.

After she decided to give me problems putting her halter on. She decided to escape her stall and take a jog around the barn and hold her head too high for me to reach. I wouldn't have been too upset about it normally, but I'd already been there for 2 hours and it was like 30F, so I was cooooold.

She also pretended to be eating her dinner when I went to get her because she knows that I don't bother her when she's eating. The thing is, she'd been done with her dinner for over an hour when I went to put her halter on.

It's good she's feeling good enough to give me the literal runaround, though lol.

 

I walked into her stall with my parka hood up and she almost kicked my ass. I took my hood off and she calmed immediately and made a happy noise at me.

A good reminder that horses are unpredictable no matter how well you know them or how much training you put into them. The weirdest shit can set them off.

 

We're supposed to get 8-12 inches of snow between tomorrow afternoon and Sunday, so I went to make sure Sandy's blanket was okay and that she has enough of her supplements to last until I'm not snowed in.

 

He hates snow. We're gonna get 8-10 inches.

 

I had to go back lol.

 
 

Like just add shit to the end to catch up in time
