MY chestnut mare was a darling! If I was the one riding her! She'd try to buck off anyone else lol!

I knew a super chill and sweet chestnut mare, an ottb to boot, but she was also on the older side and had either liver or kidney failure slowing her down. She was a great lesson and show horse!

My birds are kind of ticking me off today. Temps have been rising every hour and we're almost in the low 90's F.
I keep kicking the broody hens out to not overheat the eggs and so they can also get plenty of water to drink but they're very stubborn.

One chestnut mare I looked after was a 17hh tb cross id, she was fairly sweet, but thought herself a racehorse in the arena ....and she was in her twenties...
She was pretty easy going aside from her super speed... she was relatively lovely to tack up, brush, etc. She was only a lil crazy. Just a lil bit.

I've met some very dopey and goofy chestnut geldings, not sure if that's a stereotype yet but it ought to be in my book!
One was an ottb who was an utter joy. I'd fairly often muck out his stall, and when I'd go to do something he'd rest his head on my arm and just ask for fuss. Super gentle. He loved to unzip my coat (in the middle of winter!) And lick my hands. I really loved that sweet boy. At worst he pinned his ears when I undid and adjusted his rug as I saw it was twisted. But I'm guessing that's someone's fault, they probably hurt him at some point doing his girth too tight or something like that, and he's now anxious being touched in that area. Not an expert, just the vibe I got is all.

I've been missing alerts left and right this week, so it's been a quiet week of BYC for me

It has been quiet this week. I think a lot of people are either on vacation or have family visiting for the holiday.

I'm pretty sure I upset my birds. They thought I was bringing more food to fill the already full feeder for them but I was just giving them leftover scraps
A few of them gave me the stink eye the entire time

How do I teach my girls manners?
They yell yell yell at me every morning while I'm prepping their breakfast, it's QUACK QUACK WUUUAK I put the bucket down and then it's mmfak afk with them quacking with their mouths full, and then it melts into silence. My poor ears!

I have such a busy upcoming week. I'm needing to book a series of riding lessons, I need to start volunteering at this local pony place, and then I have a doctors appointment (so stressful). All for what? Because 4 years after my first qualification I decide I might want to continue building a career working with horses. I'm all over the place- but at least I'm not depressed anymore
