It's been over 110° every day for like. three weeks now. Siren and I both are getting fat and stir-crazy. It doesn't even cool off enough to ride at night :(

[sheepdogsandsidesaddle]

Nothing like seeing a kickass sheepdog you raised get sold to a color breeder. Bet you anything she wouldn't have bought him if he wasn't cryptic merle.

[sheepdogsandsidesaddle]

I must also state how angry I am that two of the puppies from that litter are now in their second homes. It's not their fault. The first was sold by the breeder to someone who had no business getting a border collie in the first place, so he got sold on despite me dropping everything to be able to drive ten hours to pick him up. The second was sold because the owner got a puppy by the same sire that she likes better, and he was sold to a color breeder. Ugh. It's not my litter, it's not my breeding, but I raised those little buggers and I am disappointed with where some of them have ended up.

Fat Horse No. 32

It’s the year of the horse and I’ve always been a horse girl at heart, so I’m finally taking advantage of the excuse to fill the world with fat little horses! These felted friends are about the size (and shape!) of an apple, and if you happen to have any apples to share I’m sure they’d help you out! This horse was inspired by Ronny, a gorgeous 18 hand Belgian draft who visited Anthrocon this year with the charity. He was an absolute delight, and there’s nothing quite like seeing an actual horse walking out of the den at the end of the day!

This piece will be part of a herd of fat horses at Furrydelphia, August 7-9th!

meeting to decide who gets the brain cell today

[sheepdogsandsidesaddle]

I cannot watch barrel racers anymore. Not their "good" runs, not even if they're my friends, and especially not their bad runs. You lot cannot fucking ride. You can't fit a saddle to save your lives to horse nor rider. You believe that you are somehow the pinnacle of the sport. It is fucking laughable who calls themselves "trainers" and what they charge. Show me a video of you riding in tack that isn't completely contradictory, in a saddle that actually fits your ass, and with your stirrups adjusted to a normal length and then we can start to talk about your superior horsemanship. I have never met a fucking barrel racer that doesn't have a weird, defensive attitude about anything they have going on.

[sheepdogsandsidesaddle]

The barrel racers in my life are always posting their "fails" and laughing about how frequently they get launched out of their 9" saddles. One of them allegedly used to be a hunter/jumper and maintains that barrel racing is so much more difficult, which it probably is considering how her tack actively sabotages her from staying on the horse. Both get defensive when faced with any questions. Hit dogs, or something like that.
