A little over three weeks and Snickers is looking less like a candy bar and more like the cute little mare we know she’s going to be.

Snickers is proving to be the ideal kids’ horse. Under saddle, she’s tolerant of everything we’ve thrown at her including beginner riders, flips off her back, and a few trips around the barrel pattern. She’s a point, kick, and go type of ride. No fancy buttons to get in the way. The type you can put a little, your husband, or grandma on, and she’ll do whatever they ask of her, even while they’re pulling on her mouth and kicking at the same time.

Truth be told, Snickers is a welcomed break from the high maintenance barrel horses. She reminds us of those lesson ponies we rode when we were younger, with the patience of saints.

Can’t wait to see what she looks like in another month!

We’ve had several horses that needed groceries before finding their forever homes, but never one that needed a serious weight loss program. Like many of us, Snickers’ New Year’s resolution is to lose weight and get in shape (she just doesn’t know that yet).

Welcome to the Herd, Snickers! Hope Griffin has her work cut out for you. It’s clear the littles who loved you at your lesson barn showed their love with treats and lots of food.

New year, new Snickers! Hope will work with Snickers for the next couple of months, primarily focusing on getting the weight off and the endurance up. Then it will be time to find this sweet girl her forever home.

It’s auction day! This is a horse lover’s dream. Every shape, size, discipline, age, breed, etc. Walking the aisles of the sale barns, talking with the sellers, choosing those to place on our list, is a favorite activity for us. There are some really nice horses here.

Visiting Fancy was the best Christmas present I could ask for. I am so thankful Steve and Rebecca shared her with me six years ago.

Fancy is looking good for 30!!!

Back to racing after EHV.

Hope and River brought home checks in Open and Youth on Saturday. May, Hope’s current project horse, would have brought home a check in youth on Friday, if I would have rolled her over. She’s coming along nicely and is going to make some lucky kid’s dreams come true.

Clearly, we’re missing PKAPhotographyfl LLC as evidenced by the photo below. Thankful for Twice Baked Barrel Horses’ Marge for providing emotional support to River and May during this race. Look for Marge to shine in 2026!

A huge thank you to Jennifer Davis for the kind words and constant support.

This is the last race for 2025. Here’s to a fabulous 2026!!!

Anyone else use this logic to justify horse related purchases? Just me?
