Had the most amazing time at the Mounted Justice shooting clinic/competition! It was me and Zoltan’s first time trying this super cool sport out and I can honestly say we will continue to practice and get better! Zoltan handled it all in stride and I couldn’t be prouder of him ♥️ very excited to get more into this! The instructors and members of the group were so welcoming and kind and helpful!

Also thank you to Paige Doede and her wonderful photography!! Check out her page Paige Alexis Photography!

Now right in my backyard! ♥️ it’s not perfect but it’s home because my horses are here

“I’ll be right back guys…”

drives to the yard and never emotionally returns to normal society again 🐴🌿

There is something about turning into that lane.

The hedges. The smell. The slight panic about whether you shut the gate properly this morning. The mental list running at 400mph.

And then…

You open the car door.

Mud. Hay. That oddly comforting eau de stable. A distant whinny.

And suddenly the noise in your head drops a few notches.

The yard isn’t glamorous. It’s not peaceful in a spa-retreat kind of way. There’s always hay to sweep, poo to pick, and a cob plotting world domination near the feed room.

But it’s our space.

It’s where:
• you decompress without explaining yourself
• you can be quiet without it being awkward
• you can dissolve into a mane and nobody asks questions
• and your nervous system remembers how to breathe

You might arrive overstimulated, tired, snappy, mentally juggling life.

And then you pick a hoof. Brush a neck. Lean your forehead against theirs.

And the world softens.

So yes.

“I’ll be right back guys…”

Translation: I’m off to regulate my nervous system with 600kg of emotional support animal and I will return muddier, poorer, but significantly more sane.

Every. Single. Time. 🖤🐴

I can finally let the Teke out of the bag!! He’s here!! Meet Saruhan - purebred Akhal-Teke stallion ♥️
He’s got a ways to go in putting weight on and healing from some trauma but he is safe and once he’s healthy again will be a happy daddy to hopefully many new Teke babies!!
I’m so honored to be his forever home and can’t wait to show him off and see what beautiful babies he makes!
Thank you to SO many people who were involved in getting him to me safely. It was truly a group effort with a bunch of other Akhal-Teke breeders/lovers/owners. You are all angels!
