Neil surprised me with an extra birthday present! A kid free morning so I could go to the barn alone. 😍 So of course it was stupid hot and humid, so I didn't ride. But I did get to give my horse a really good grooming and do ground work with her, including a walk out to the back field through the woods where we ended up getting attacked by deerflies and Tali was not impressed and I had a deerfly fly down my throat... 🤢🤮 But then we went to the ring and I let Tali play and once she felt more like herself we hung out for a bit and she gave me sweaty kisses. I am so grateful she is sound and healthy, and still likes me despite all the obstacles thrown our way. 😅 Also, she's like the prettiest mare, and I love her. 😍 #nofilter #talimare #hityouback #ottbsofinstagram #toohottoride #ponyplaytime #happyhorse #barntimeisthebesttime #prettymare https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvu4mRBp3B/?igshid=1moxnec2w1bot
