Hoping it's a one-time fix, but we have to get an exercise regimen together with small near-daily workouts so she can build muscle. She's finally got the weight, now she just need the muscles to carry it properly.
I'm really glad the barn has a covered roundpen! It'll make working on rainy days a thing lol.
Tysm I'm going to watch this right fucking now
It is! I was worried she'd fight him, but once she realized he was helping, she was all into it.
She loved the magic massage man (the "chiro")and fell asleep while he and I were chatting after she was finished.
There was no quackery. He literally just helped her stretch really well and massaged the knots out of her muscles so she could move better. No joint popping or nothin crazy. I watched him treat two other horses to make sure he wasn't full of shit before I let him touch Sandy.
Ain't it awesome lmao
Every time my dog sees her reflection in the tiny mirror on the jewelry box on my dresser she tries to throw hands.
She also doesn't seem to have a fully developed sense of object permanence.
She also ate so many of her toys that my dogs do not get anything to play with/chew that isn't digestible
She may be the dumbest golden doodle there ever was.
Oh shit he might be. How can I know for certain? What can I do to test this theory?
I will get the most amazing award. On top of being an AI shill, he's also an incel and racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, and transphobic.
I know why his ex wife left him and why his daughters don't communicate with him.
My one coworker is an AI shill and I love reminding him that this is gonna be the dotcom bubble all over again. He was an adult when the dotcom bubble burst and apparently he had invested a lot into shit back then lmao. I was a kid so I didn't even know what an economy is.
I love this trend so much.
Thank you. It felt good to deactivate all of his shit lol.
I'm glad you got out of the helpdesk trenches. Being a tech support grunt is harrowing. I have a mild breakdown about once a quarter, but that's been a thing since my college days (yes I'm in therapy lol)
I don't mind talking on the phone because I make a lot of calls outside of work. I just hate people being absolute idiots and being proud of not knowing how to do the most basic shit. Got a ticket from a client asking to help a different user connect her new mouse to her computer. It was just a wired mouse. That was the start of 2025's Q3 breakdown.
Edit: some of y'all are upset about horse chiropractor. Called the dude up and he is an equine physiotherapist and people just call him "the chiropractor"
I was going to have a trainer ride her today, but she was too sore for it. I didn't even saddle her due to how sensitive her back is right now.
He's the king of dramatics and cuddles. Don't let his sad eyes fool you, he is spoiled as heck and is a master manipulator. I mean, who can say no to that face? He just wants to take a nap and cuddle all the time and I indulge him every chance I get.
He likes to be little spoon when we cuddle and it's great because he is fun to hug. Except when he starts dreaming and kicks the shit outta me. He dreams at some point every time he sleeps so I'm getting kicked constantly. Sometimes he'll make dumb little noises while sleeping and that's great. He also snores a lot but it's cute and not a health problem.
10/10 best baby beagle boi.
I could ramble about him all day lol
Had to drop off some things at the barn and helped put a big ol tractor together, so I didn't have time to hang with Sandy. That's okay, though. I yelled her name and she got very confused then went back to eating like 30 seconds later.
She would NOT stand still by the mounting block at first and once I got her still and I got into the saddle, she wanted to keep taking me to the gate out of the arena. I was not about that and I just made her stand in the middle of the arena and any time she moved forward towards the gate, I made her back up to the original spot. She was very frustrated with me, but got over herself eventually and stopped trying to go to the gate. That took like 15 minutes and getting in the saddle took 10 before that. Once she was standing and being good for a bit, I ended the session so we'd finish on a good note. It wasn't much of a ride, but these things take time.
I do need to get a new girth though, because the one I've been using is rubbing a little bit and will def be uncomfy if I keep using it on her. So I'm gonna get that ordered before I get on her again.
She's a bay roan quarter horse. She's very sweet but can be bitey at times. She seems to be doing well with her training.
Face reveaaaaal! Pls ignore my serious concentration face. I make the worst facial expressions when riding lmao.
She remembers all of her training and was so well behaved!
Got a rope halter to use for bridling. She was unsure of it at first and it took a couple tries for her to let me get it on her all the way lol.
W also utilized the covered round pen because the arena was very wet from rain.
She can still have things get outta place, so there may be a need for treatment in the future, but she is very sound and sturdy for her age, so she should be good to go as long as I stick with exercising her.
