↓ About us ↓

Our first time going to the farmers market this year! I brought our new girlfriend along just for shits and giggles.

Ohio definitely isn’t known for its hills or mountains, but we’ve been finding some really fun climbing opportunities lately!

#beans beans the magickal fruit #love retired living #being a certified delinquent

Be not dismayed; we have been going on bigger hikes than we ever have in our life. I just haven't been posting

#beans beans the magickal fruit #bigger longer and harder #that's what she said #we've also gone out of our comfort zone and are traveling to them now #only an hour or so drive but still

Hek ya, being retired is awesome! I get treats from all the booths! I get to say hi to anyone who wants to say hi to me! I only go to fun events now!

#beans beans the magickal fruit #we're still not happy about having to be in the crate #but we've come a long way in a short time #happy pride 🌈

After seven years together, Hek and I finally bought our first harness. We’ve had the Säker long enough now that I can confidently say it’s not getting returned! It is honestly a wonderful harness in every way. Plus, Hek doesn’t hate it, which is really saying something because she absolutely despises wearing anything. That’s primarily why this is our first harness, and even when she's working, I hardly make her wear a cape vest.

I ended up choosing the Muse because I already have the Variocage for car travel, so this purchase was really just a fancy way to have her longline attached to something other than her collar.

Knowing Hek’s measurements, I knew she fell perfectly between a small and a medium. An AI chatbot and I actually went back and forth for about a week before I finally pulled the trigger on the medium. While it barely fits snugly even with all the straps fully tightened, the quality is undeniable. It might not add much in the visibility department, much to my dismay, but its a very pleasant green and she does look good in it.

#beans beans the magickal fruit #i guess you can argue this is a product review?#please dont take me seriously #it is a nice harness tho #def worth the money #i never want to put anything shorter than this 20' longline on her for the rest of her life

Someone just said we're starting to get sugar faced 😭😭😭

#beans beans the magickal fruit #workin naked #she is getting some more white on her face tho #but I'm not focusing on it rn

I do not take Hek's safety lightly. When you scoff at me for saying I am concerned about her safety around your dog you have lost my respect.

#am pissed #I did not imagine this being a problem #but if your dog growls and advances on mine #and you won't do anything about it #I most certainly will

Welp, I tried really hard to make this work but alas. We are moving again.

#I am so frustrated #outside of the dog problems this is my ideal living situation #and it's not even our problem #but I can't control other people and their dogs #I am very frustrated that I was just told I am making the problem worse #because I assure you #keeping my dog from being harmed by your dog #is not making any problems worse

Did I mention we got to go on both the 4* and 5* course walks for cross country and stadium? Well, we did! My fruit was a warm puppy!

Saturday is cross country day. I was planning on going to the fourth question on the course, a very difficult coffin with a loop around to a tracainer. The course was designed to eliminate teams who we're not ready to be at this level early on in the course to save the footing for the other riders.

Volume up to hear about Harry Mead's amazing recovery in the first water complex

Saturday morning rolls around and all my plans go out the window. We ended up at question 21. This question consists of an upbank, a steep downhill 4 strides immediately after, to a very large oxer, and then 4 strides to a corner.

It was meant to be! Turns out all of Boyd Martin's grooms and family were stationed at this jump. I got a Go Bali (my personal favorite of Boyd's horses) poster from one of the girls, and was able to chat with some of them who remember me training with him years ago.

We ended up sitting here for 5 hours just watching the horses go by. Hek made friends with the jump judge very quickly. She and I talked the entire time about everything from how much we dont like the show jumping mentality to what it's like working with OTTBs.

This day was like a dream come true

#beans beans the magickal fruit #k3de #the best weekend all year

I figured I could do a photo dump but instead I'm going to do a slow release

#beans beans the magickal fruit #Herz was a true horse show puppy #for the first time #it was way too much fun

I want to splurge on a Saker harness. The question is:

What color?

Orange

Green

Black

None of the above: get a different harness

Voting ended onMay 1

Orange would be best for visibility (we def have that problem). But I think green would look best on her. Black is what I always resort to but I'm trying to think of what would look best / be most practical.
