🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 Excited for Josh Andrews Saddles and this cool package today 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The bonus sleazy was a generous surprise—the jade with gold piping, hearts, and JA details is polished, elevated, and exceptionally well done-so fancy!

Behind the brand:

CH Primo Perks (Genes) is my c**t, and it matters to me that his first everything comes from Josh. I purchased Momma Mia from JA, and beyond the sale, Josh provided clear guidance and planning that helped me begin a broodmare journey that has truly only just started. See, after Jetta’s reproductive history and setbacks, his insight and support made all the difference—leading to giving me an opportunity to get a quality broodmare I love and Genes arriving healthy and strong. Somewhere along the way, Roux joined the family too 🐾

It is only fitting that Genes’ first bell boots come from JA. These cheetah bells are bold, functional, and fun.
And the new sleazy? It will absolutely make Momma Mia feel pretty special. 💃🏻

P.S. You only get 1 life… just buy the horses and all the stuff and make your heart smile!

Take my money, honey. This is boujee and I love it. What a happy mail day. 💚✨🐆

Too funny!
True story though

Cold hands. Muddy boots. Zero regrets. ❄🐴😆

Wow! I did not know this.

The "Raincoat" Mistake: Why a Donkey is NOT a Small Horse.

We see it all the time: A horse and a donkey standing in a field during a cold rainstorm. The horse is grazing happily. The donkey looks miserable.

Many owners think: "If the horse is fine, the donkey is fine."

Wrong. Biologically, you are looking at two completely different animals.

🌵 1. The Desert DNA Horses (Equus ferus) evolved on windy, rainy temperate plains. They are built for bad weather. Donkeys (Equus africanus) evolved in the African Desert. They are built for dry heat, not wet cold.

🧽 2. The "Sponge" Effect Run your hand over a horse in the rain. The water beads up and rolls off. Why? Because horses produce sebum (natural grease) and have a dense undercoat that acts as a natural raincoat. Donkeys do not have this. Their hair is coarse and lacks that protective grease layer. When it rains, water doesn't roll off a donkey—it soaks in. A wet donkey is wearing a soaking wet wool sweater against its skin. It sucks the heat right out of their body.

⚠️ 3. The Danger Zone Because they lack this waterproofing, a donkey can enter hypothermia in temperatures where a horse would be perfectly comfortable. Without shelter, this leads to:

Pneumonia (a leading killer of donkeys).

"Rain Scald" (severe skin rot).

Immense stress (look for the "hunched" posture).

📚 The Science: According to The Donkey Sanctuary (UK), the world's leading authority on donkey welfare: "Donkeys do not have a waterproof coat like the horse."

The Rule: A horse can stand in the rain. A donkey MUST have a roof.

Be a pal. Build the barn. 🏠🫏

✨ Born in the Barn. Written Before Us. ✨

Three years ago, at my childhood home and barn, with my Mom and Mimi present & Carson on FaceTime, Genes took his first breath and gave me his first kiss 🤍🐴

In that moment, I fell in love.

This wasn’t just a foal being born.
This was lineage, legacy, and a life coming full circle.
Highly tecommend checking out Heidi’s hall of fame trait analysis and get your horse done .

He is CH Primo Perks, known as Genes, the first foal for Mias Flyin Perky and Bullazin for Perks.
A first for them. A forever for me.

Genes became what my heart didn’t know how to ask for, Jetta’s replacement, right when her repro history fell apart.

Deep gratitude to Josh Andrews for getting me the broodmare and getting her safely in foal when hope felt thin.

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”
— Psalm 139:13

In one more month, I get to see him again, now 3 years old, finishing his first bootcamp with Roger Daly Horses, and stepping forward into his next chapter as a future barrel horse. I am really excited how God has connected me to his barrel horse trainer too! God is GOOD all the time. Stay faithful.

Some horses are born in barns.
Others are born into purpose.

👇 Tell me, have you ever had a horse come into your life exactly when you needed them most? 🤍🐴

✨ Senior Horse Hack (currently LA - Lower Arkansas is freezing rain- ugh! We Don’t Do Cold Around Here) ✨

Peppy is 23.
He knows what he likes.
And cold water is an absolute refuse.

This king lives for his alfalfa cubes, Purina RepleniMash, and Gallagher Water electrolytes ….but only if it’s served warm, like the winter soup bowl he deserves 🥣🐴

🔥 Barn hack that actually works:
Portable two-burner stovetop + oversized stockpots
Warm water. On demand. No drama.

No frozen hoses- I use the freeze mizers at the barn.
No side-eye from Peppy.
No wasted feed.

Just a happy senior horse licking the bowl clean and a horse mom who figured it out 💅

Now tell me…
👉 What’s your horse’s winter “absolutely not” food rule?

Braids before blanket layers tonight for this broodmare, Momma Mia! Seems to help with the static and growth. What winter tips do you have for your baby mommas?

Have you done your equine pedigree hall of famer analysis yet with Heidi Schlenker? I highly recommend!

My first one to do and of course on a horse named Genes! (CH PRIMO PERKS)

Really excited to have received his full hall of fame pedigree analysis! Looking up all the history is absolutely mind blowing, heartbreaking stories, famous horses and it sparks my history buff heart AND keeps the legacy of living hopeful alive!

Glimpse: 40HOF, 418 occurences with elite genetics intentionally.
So love all things science, pedigrees. Thank you Heidi!

Barn clean up! Who needs these?
These would be perfect for 4h kiddos, small livestock feeders! We used for for the minis.
$25 each.
I have 6 that are solid.

Pickup in Crossett - PM me (Nikol) to coordinate!
