My girl turns 30 this April!! What a ride it's been. 22 years of being her owner, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present in 1999. So lucky that my 6 yr old daughter loves her just as much as I do.

It’s equestrian season here right now. Polo and show horses.

haha thank you! I swear she is shrinking with age. She used to be so much more muscular and at least an inch or two taller. At this point, she's just a pasture ornament/expensive lawn mower, so she's lost so much muscle. But she's earned it. I'll never sell her.

I always tell my friends, the cheapest purchase is the actual horse itself, lol

My girls go through more shoes than I do at this point.

When I used to show competitively, Blackie would get her feet trimmed and re-shod every 6-8 weeks. Her hooves have always been kept long as she has really sensitive feet. If they are trimmed too short, she goes lame until they grow out. It's like clipping your finger nail too short and it hurts for a while, so I got lucky with her as to not need a trim every 4 weeks like a lot of show horses (and I've tried every supplement and hoof hardener under the sun, she just has sensitive feet, so the farrier recommends to keep them long). Now, since adulting and parenting has gotten in the way, the girls get their feet done about every 8- 10 weeks since they aren't ridden but a handful of times a year now.

Right now, in the winter, it's pellet feed x2 a day, and then supplemented with alfalfa for extra protein and energy. They're also out to pasture 24/7 right now and can graze all day/night with what little grass there is. They also get hay flakes at night after their evening feed since the grass isn't growing hardly.

In the spring/summer months it's pellet feed x2 a day and out to pasture for grazing.


Pretty simple. The show season is a whole other monster. More supplements than an old man takes at breakfast time.

I grew up next door to a horse farm, and the guy who owned it was a farrier. I used to help him during the summers back in high school. It was really cool to see the process, how hooves were trimmed, etc, and I learned a ton about horses. They are expensive to care for, but very intelligent animals with their own unique personalities.


My border collie is about to turn 16. I have to carry him down the stairs now as he can go up stairs but not down.

This is great! My 8yo daughter just started riding last year. Loving it so far! (also majorly into Schleich as a result)
