↓ About us ↓

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.

I don't care what anyone says. It's Rolex!

#beans beans the magickal fruit #we out here #fuckin stoked #watched dressage and show jumping until 10pm #so excited for the rest of the weekend

#beans beans the magickal fruit #so many boyfriends #and they're all so young #well younger than what we usually go for #we both are partial to this one tho #iykyk #this will sound bad out of context

Take a wild guess as to where we went over the weekend. I'll give you a hint, it involves ponies!

We actually got to go two different days. It was wonderful! We did so much walking.

I am not going to lie that I did struggle a lot seeing other service dog teams and thinking "now that's a real service dog team!" But I cant figure out why my brain is messing with me about it so much. Is it their gear? Is it the fact they are all the fab four? Is it because for the first time in my life I feel like my health is manageable and Hek isn't altering all the time? Who knows.

It has taken three weeks for the kind human we are staying with to finally realize how crazy Hek really is.

*Hek easily jumps over her 5' fence*

"She really does have spunk in her! I never guessed with how well behaved she is all the time"

*Hek jumps the fence again*

*I'm kinda scared of her now. There's so much dog."

#beans beans the magickal fruit #context:#I let her free to go greet the neighbor #I didnt expect her to jump the fence tho #but she did come back when called #so 🤷‍♀️

Y'all we had the best dentist appointment. Not in terms of like dentist stuff. I'm talking about in terms of having a service dog.

It was like not even having her. The hygienist who brought us back took one glance at her and that was it. The dentist herself didn't even notice Hek. It was like she was invisible.

I swear it was like a dream

#beans beans the magickal fruit #I hate going to the dentist #they have two office Frenchies #the dentist thinks she's got a free pass #every single trip has been such a big fiasco #this was NOT what I expected #like it was wild #I scheduled my next appointment with the same girl #in hopes of having a similar experience

Someone please talk me off of gaint schnauzers

#specifically for the bitey sports

The barn hunting trainer has now canceled 4 times in a row. I don't understand why the universe doesn't want us to go to barn hunt. I'm wondering if the person doesn't like me for some reason...

Our hiking location for the afternoon

#beans beans the magickal fruit #she took herself swimming #I still can't believe it #she just walked out into the water #and almost didnt turn around
