The past week was expensive, but isn’t that the joy of horse ownership?

Last Saturday a few friends and I attended the Greene County Horseshoe Supply’s big tent sale. We enjoyed some wonderful specials and I came home with a new winter coat and some half chaps. In addition we went into the boot barn and tried some on. To my surprise I found a pair of boots that I liked and they fit.

And just like that I have my very first ever pair of cowboy boots!

In addition to the less necessary things I stocked up on food for the three amigos. I got a new load of hay delivered (I can only store 60-70 bales so I get a new load every month) and right after that I picked up my load of alfalfa, beet pulp, and hay stretcher. Was it necessary to purchase so many bags? No. But Tractor supply gives an extra 5% discount for 20+ bags. Hence, I am experimenting with exactly that. Three horses go through a lot of food!

  I’m still working on it but my calves tend to take up all the boot space. It might be a while before I can truly flaunt them

Show me thoughtfulness and I’ll show you a loyal friend; the person willing to bend over backwards for others. I am an introvert so I tend to keep to myself and hold my own insecurities and struggles within but I am always an open ear for a good friend. I am often energetic and upbeat with an extra serving of quirky. I love to “geek out” on science, particularly biochemistry and any science pertaining to health, nutrition, fitness, or animals. Although I struggle with weight issues and a serious sweet tooth I really enjoy fitness…horseback riding, kickboxing, pilates, and HIIT training are my favorites. I also have that crazy horse woman gene…the kind that makes us eat sleep and breathe horses….but at least I admit I’m crazy, right?
