    In relation to your "dorky" thoughts when you see other horse owners, I live in a small farm community where everyone has 10 acre plots with horses or cattle. Someone from a different road came riding by my place on a percheron gelding. I felt the sudden urge to run out to my barn & bring my percheron mare up to front pasture so she could meet a new friend. I even waved the guy down to see if he would stop so I could show him my mare. His boy is gorgeous! I felt silly, but having the only draft "on the block," his horse caught my attention. IDK where he was riding from, but hope he comes back for another meet & greet for my mare. Silly, but I feel proud to have a draft & love meeting others with drafts, especially if they were rescued from slaughter for human/animal consumption or HRT (hormone replacement therapy) such as premarin & others. Hoping to raise awareness about both nasty practices.

    I have found myself watching channels like yours. Trying riding with bells, wanting orthotics in every pair of boots, talking to people I would otherwise never know if we both didn't have a horse.

    The one thing that always gets me with owning a horse, is when I see a hay truck (semi truck) full of hay/alfalfa, I think of Fast and Furious when they were hijacking the semi trucks with electronics. Like I could get a few horse people to help hijack a truck and split the hay. OR when I see a hay truck and yell in my truck “Hey! My house is the other way.” The grass hay and oat hay in my area is $22 a bail so hijacking a hay truck seems like a good idea sometimes. I do the majority of the same things. 🙂

    My life is very horse centric so my backpack holds at least a small lead line, hank of baling twine, small baggy of horse treats, a tube of triple antibiotic and a leather halter crown piece. When camping or hiking I have a medium baggy of dried horse apples as fire starter that gets included as well. Any car I own must be able to carry at least 4 medium bales of hay in a pinch and the trunk has to be big enough to carry my saddle and grooming box. I now judge all my clothes based on could I ride in them comfortably and how easy do they wash or clean up. Shortly after we got our horse, I knew I had made the complete conversion when after work my friends grabbed their gym bags to go work out at the gym and mine held my riding clothes so I didn’t have to waste time changing at the barn.🤠

      Lol, I wish that I could say that it was intentional, but over time these items have come in handy away from the barn. I find myself solving problems with what I have at hand and 9 times out of 12 the solution comes from my horse supplies. Being owned by a horse turned my life upside down, but it’s been worth all the worry and hard work.

    Thank you for all of the great information you give viewers about gear, tack, feed, etc. I recently bought the same clippers you used on Fame for my horse that was recently diagnosed with Equine Cushings (PPID]. The Lister Star clippers were great! I love to go camping with my horse and I loved your video on the equipment you use and the pros & cons of the different ways to pen or high line your horse. Have you ever been to Point Reyes? Absolutely beautiful. 😁

I plan to go medium for summer so Fame doesn't burn. I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful! Yes I LOVE Point Reyes! It was our first beach ride last summer. :D Are you in NorCal?al?

    I find myself constantly scoping out trail heads etc. out in the mountains for if I can turn a horse trailer around at them. I also arranged my property so it is easy to get trailers in and out and I designed my barns so that I can pull a hay trailer up to them in such a way that it is super easy to offload hay into them from a flatbed trailer. I think if I didn't have livestock (horses, cows etc.) those things would not have been nearly as important to me. As far as seeing other people pulling horses that is a daily constant around here but I do try to get a look to see what kind of horses and what they look like etc.

    • @HappieronaHorse
      @HappieronaHorse  3 года назад +1

      I went to Sundowner in Auburn Ca. If you go Trails West, keep in mind there is warmblood height (7’6” tall) and warmblood package which is wider stalls. I have height and wish i also had wider stalls too. 😬 Craigslist or Facebook groups for horse trailers are great places to find trailers.

    • @mrssnow9779
      @mrssnow9779 3 года назад +1
