Spring has finally hit Twinbrook! 🍃 Although we still has some windy, rainy days, the temperature is rising and the sun is most days the only thing you can see on the blue sky. The wildlife is slowly coming back and all the wild flowers are just want we need around the landscaping at this moment! Spring is for sure my favorite season of the year! (closed followed by summer ) 🌱🌷🌺
Today wasn’t that bad tbh. Work flew by which was nice but I was too tired to ride so instead we took selfies. He’s forever unimpressed with me 😅 hopefully I’ll have the energy to ride tomorrow.
Went to the store after work and Jesus Christ why is everything so fucking expensive. I better not have to go again until next month!
There was a woman who was wearing the same perfume that my mom would wear and I had to stop myself from going up and smelling her while crying lmao
I’m going to watch YouTube videos catch up on gorl world drama (iykyk) and go to bed. Also watching Mr snowflake and boy do I love northern England men 😂😂
First thing this morning, I got a call from my mother, telling me her horse, Roy, had broken his leg and that they'd had to put him down. 🥀
She'd been at work when she'd gotten the call from the woman who owns the stables, so she couldn't be there to say goodbye to him, since she wasn't about to let him lay there in pain for half an hour until she got there.
He was alone in his pasture and nowhere near anything he could've hurt himself on, so it looks like the leg just snapped when he tried to get up after his morning roll. He was 21 years old.
I had to euthanize my boy, Siro, the other horse in these photos, in 2019, and the two of them were as close as brothers from the moment they met. So, I chose to think that this was him missing his little brother, calling Roy home to the evergreen pastures, where they'll run free together forever.
Thank you both for the adventures, the memories, and all the love you gave to our family. We will always miss you ♥️
I have found that rice hulls work the best, pine shavings don't dry out, so you need to change them at least once a week. Rice hulls, however, dry out, and you only need to change them about once a week. I find for my horse's bed I need 13 cubic feet.
It's December 13th, 🐴 National Day of the Horse in America. In 2004, Congress commemorated this special day to remind Americans of the incredible contribution these majestic creatures have made to the nation's history, character, and economy.
While National Day of the Horse may be new to this millennium, horses themselves have been intrinsic to the lives of Americans for over 500 years. The original species evolved in North America, but went extinct here between 11,000 and 13,000 years ago. They were reintroduced here by Spanish conquistadors in the late 1400s, and they’ve since flourished in the great plains and mountains of the west, where wild herds still roam to this day.
Horses continue to contribute to the advancement of American society by pouring roughly $9.2 billion yearly into the US economy. In many rugged and rural areas, horses are still necessary to plow fields, herd livestock, and transport food and supplies into rural areas. They also entertain us in rodeos and provide comforting, equine therapy. Horses have definitely woven themselves into the fabric of American life. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
My soul still longs for yours every single moment of every single day 🤍🕊️
I spent almost 20 minutes trying to post this, I kept breaking out in tears every time I see her pictures, but she was too wonderful and special not to talk about anymore.
I got to know her and share so much with her for almost 9 years, but it could never be enough.
I spent 20 years of my life doing this sport, living this life, and I have met, trained, owned, competed with, and loved so many special horses, but when She died, my love for the world and lifestyle of it died with her.
Nothing can even begin to compare, and that’s okay.
I would take the experience of loving her, and dealing with the crippling pain and greif of losing her, a tousand times over.
There is something so unique about loving and working with horses, and when you’re lucky enough to find your soulhorse, it’s just beyond explaination.
