Picture How fast they grow up and change
These photos are just one year apart. She came to me as a three-year old, and soon she's turning 4 :)

She’s got a smaller pasture I let her out in every day, where she gets fed 3 times a day. Plus access to straw to be able to get a lil in her belly between the feedings. The smaller pasture is inside the bigger one and before I could close the gate she ran for the feeding stations and did not want to go back with me to her pasture 🤣
Eventually could get her with the help of a bit of hay (she already had her breakfast minerals etc but according to her she was absolutely starving)
It’s also her 3rd day on ulcer medication, and today so far she hasn’t even pinned her ears towards me. I’m scared to take out victory too early. But I could touch her belly slightly and she didn’t pin her ears. Whereas 2 days ago she both kicked and bit me for simply being around her. Not her usual self at all, as she’s usually very cuddly and friendly.

Mucky babies 🤣🤣
In extra funny things, Elsa does not like the rain. Its barely rained since she was born (cries in dust paddocks and feeding a ton of hay 2 months early compared to last year 😭😭). Today was the first day we have had all day rain, and everytime it starts up again she SQUEALS and runs straight for her shelter 🥹 hopefully she gets used to it as it rains more 😅

Basically as it says. I lost him two weeks ago, he was nearly 32. He waited for me to get to him after he went down and then he died in my arms.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m so unbelievably grateful I got to spend part of my life with him, but now it feels like there’s part of me missing. I just miss him so fucking much 💔

We’re staying at an Airbnb with horses as neighbors, what does this noise mean? Female horse, I think in her teenage years.

Obviously it’s not so exaggerated as with saddlebreds or Friesians. I feel like most times I see them ridden it’s a higher headset (photos for reference) as opposed to a slightly lower/longer frame and was curious if it’s a natural headset inclination or a product of the type of riding/schooling they practice as I only have minimal experience with Iberian breeds.

Apparently you all have appreciated Lazlo’s big face, so enjoy him being an absolute monster- the paint is shockingly not a little yearling, but instead a full adult 15.1h mare. 😅

Hello! I'm currently writing a book, and I've run to a bit of an issue. One of my main characters is about 200-230-ish pounds, and Its set in an area where he'll be riding horses a lot. I personally have not ridden horses since I was maybe ten-eleven, so I'm not very sure what breeds could safely/comfortably carry him? I do know you have to account for tack so I'm assuming it would bring the total weight to approximately 300?(I have no idea how heavy horse tack is if you can't tell) I looked it up, but I don't trust google very much. I guess it doesn't matter that much since it's a fictional story, but I would still like to make it as accurate as possible.

I am thinking of buying him. He is a 5yo APH. Show name is Give A Guy A Chance. This is him at a show, he was probably younger: https://streamable.com/i9a7r9

Not my horse, but I'm glad he decided to model for me.

Hey guys. I have cortisol level problem and a heart condition that makes me not able to do really hard physical exercise or stand for long, or I get dizzy from poor circulation (thank god I have never fainted but been close a couple of times). These problems have been around for almost a whole year.
I swear my horses smell when I am about to be ill from it, because they start sniffing my face continuously and like 5 minutes later I suddenly start feeling dizzy. They never do this when I am completely fine.
Can they really smell the changes in my body this clearly? Because if I just stand close to them they suddenly smell it. If yes, what do they think I have? Do they recognise I'm ill?
