Not Quite Horseless

Kyla. 21. SoCal. Don't currently own anything, but I'm still blessed with plenty of horses to work with. Finally starting my journey in learning to teach & train dressage, and pursuing my USDF Instructor Certification:) This is my "horse blog" although my main blog has kind of become one too; I'll post most of the equine-related photos I take here.

U.S.O. shaming is like my new fav thing

If ever someone wanted to take relaxing Christmas photos on their own… this is not the horse for the job. (See also: lead ropes are fun)

It’s official! Little mare had her first day on Main Street, and it was the coolest thing ever. Additionally, I was on the lines to start her today, which was also kind of the coolest thing ever!

I continue to come away with cool photos of my job. This is Bug (aka the cutest little 16hh Brabant that could) and we’re pulling the Dapper Dans on their daily set on the street cars!

First time hooking little mare to the street car, and she was fantastic. Can’t wait to get her out for park open!

So I drove my first parade, and Eddie & Lucjys second today! Pardon the resting bitch face in the one photo… Was asking some Clydesdales to get their shit together. Overall though, it was an amazing experience, and so cool to say that I planned, organized, and executed the entire thing from start to finish!

Creature looks pretty sharp in purple👌🏻

Spending time with him in the day to day, it’s easy to wonder if we’ve gotten anywhere or made any kind of progress, but to see what two months of regular work and daily grooming have done, it’s hard to believe he’s the same horse.

So Robert (retired Disney Belgian) met Cherry Bomb (miniature horse), and it was kind of the best thing ever.

Their relationship in a nutshell.
