When my Nyx was little I played with her like a big puppy. I don’t recommend this. It’s not safe . Now With that disclaimer out of the way - we loved this and she has grown up to be my amazing incredibly bonded mare .

I saw Francisco had grabbed one of the kitties Halloween toys , but I did not see which one . When I opened his mouth to retrieve it I jumped a foot . I ran and got my phone so I could video how it looked . I can’t stop laughing .

Everyone has been asking a lot of questions about our 1.5 year old Eros being gelded yesterday . So here are some answers .
1) how is Eros doing ? He is doing really well this morning . Obviously a bit sore. I just gave him his first dosing of pain, meds for the day, and I will do so again at 10 PM tonight. He is eating great and slept a lot last night . Overall Eros is Ball-less and flawless 😎

2) why did I decide to geld Eros? After talking to many people that were interested in buying him as a stud c**t It started becoming very clear to me that people were in love with the idea of a stud c**t, but had close to zero idea of how to handle one. You have to put a lot of time into a stud. There are a lot of places they are not allowed to be in and you always have to be in a very different state of awareness. Stallions also get sold and traded much more than a gelding . Now he can go to any boarding facility, on any trail ride (when he’s old enough), he can be in a group of mares, geldings, or stallions no matter where he goes and be safe and happy. The biggest thing is for him not to be isolated. I am absolutely in love with Eros’s breeding . He comes from incredible lines , he has fantastic conformation and is very smart and kind. He would have made absolutely beautiful babies. I thought seriously about that. However , What is more important than his future babies is my 1.5-year-old baby having the best life he possibly can. Finding the perfect home for him. Also by me gelding him I was able to keep his balls to gild and gift to my neighbor during Christmas . I call it the gilded gelded line of jewelry .

3) speaking of my neighbor, stable Mabel- will gelding him make my neighbor happy? Not like I give two 💩 about her happiness but no . Even as a gelding Eros will still drop his p***s and show it to anyone who will look . He will still drop when relaxed or warm . There are also a lot of geldings that still use it to play percussion on their belly . I call it the song of love . Just because a gelding can no longer make babies, does not mean they can’t enjoy a little me time .

4) do you need to do anything with him while he recovers ? Yes we keep him on Bute twice a day for pain, and we are supposed to trot or run him 20 minutes twice a day . This keeps the wound open enough to continue draining. This part always freaks me well the hell out. Not going to lie . Whenever I think about it I feel faint . I mean the running and stretching after his coconuts were just harvested ? Makes me want to re-visit my fruity pebbles I just ate . I will also check for swelling, too much drainage and just overall comfort. This is a very common procedure and the chances are he will be absolutely fine.

5) why not have the future owner geld him when they get him and save yourself the money? This is easy !!! Eros is my responsibility. I wanted to make sure it was done and done right.

6) Do you believe in aliens ? I’m not sure what this has to do with gelding Eros, but yeah I do. I am pretty sure I met one at Walmart one time when visiting Eugene .

I hope this answered everybody’s questions, and I will keep everybody up-to-date. We will also be filming some of his exercising and running in the outdoor turnout. Unless for some reason it starts looking like a kill Bill film then we probably would not post that.
In all seriousness, thank you everybody for how respectful you’ve been with your questions and for how much you care. 🖤😎⚾️⚾️

Today was our first rainy day in a while . Rainy days are useful for making myself go out and do mundane chores. I decided to finally get my butt over to UPS and return a horse halter to Amazon . When I got in the store there was a line of 8 people . Everyone had Amazon returns . I naïvely assumed that the line would go fast because you show your barcode, hand them your item and walk away. Five minutes later, the line still hadn’t moved, and someone else had come in the store and got in line behind me.
This person was standing so close to me I thought I was going to have to change my relationship status on Facebook. This guy was standing so close that the toes of his shoes were almost touching my heels. Every time I stepped forward he moved too. I am sometimes stunned ( stunned I tell you ) at people’s lack of situational awareness. I finally turned around and asked the guy if he could back up,as he had no one behind him. He says “well then I will be by the door”. “Are you door phobic?” I asked him. He puffed up and said he was not afraid of anything . He also took two steps back . Victory !!!!!
The lady in front of me gave me a thumbs up . “You handled that really well girl! What are you returning ?” Oh you know, just a nuclear power core. The radiation was making me glow at night and my husband could not sleep . “A halter that was too big” I responded . “Oh honey don’t worry about that ! It’s fall now and halters are not even needed . Get you a nice hoodie.” I counted to three, forced my sarcasm back into its hole and then said “ It’s a horse halter”. As I was saying that my dad had walked in and handed me my daily dose of sugar in a cup ( pink drink with coconut cold foam from Starbucks) . The lady smiled at my dad and then returned her focus to me . “ well honey you are pulling my leg , why would a horse need a halter top?” “Because their nips get cold in the winter but they still want free shoulder movement , it’s a personal preference” S**t! my sarcasm was faster than my filter on that.
My Dad: “Amy …” even at 48 I know the “dad” tone.
That poor lady was still working over in her mind what I had said . She finally says “ I don’t get it, horses don’t have boobs.”
At this point my perimenopausal Gen X brain was fried . “ I mean it gets pretty nippy down at the barn in the winter and horses are people too.”
My dad: “ ok kid take our drinks and go wait in the car , I will return the halter”
The lady in front of us “ I told her to just keep it until summer”
I was almost out the door and had to force myself outside . So now my sarcastic ass is sequestered in my car. I am drinking my sugar and listening to the 90’s channel . It’s cool , I’m fine 😎

Stud c**ts are dangerous ! I hear this so much. Yes they need a lot of extra time and situational setups. One of the biggest factors though is breeding and handling. 1.5 year old Eros comes from incredible lines. His sire and grandsire are both very calm, smart, and kind. His mom is my heart horse and so emotionally in tune to everything . If your horse isn’t one of those things they should not be breeding, I don’t care how beautiful they are. We have also handled Eros from the day he was born.
Last but certainly not least- from the day he was born I have never put him in a situation where he could fail. I always make sure I have things set up where he can thrive and learn.
So this is the final product . Sweet Eros 💘
Genetics do matter
Handling does matter
Situational awareness on your end does matter
Drinking enough soda to act like a squirrel on crack does matter. This is my secret to keeping up with him, and his mom, and his grandsire, and his grandmother.

It’s October and Halloween is just around the corner. I let Murphy carve his own pumpkin this year. Considering he does not have fingers or thumbs I think he did an incredible job. He is very, very proud of it! I just hope my neighbor is OK with what he chose to carve.

I do this walk 4 times a day . Rain , snow , sun and in the dark at night . I know it’s a long video but thought some of you may like a break in your day to walk to the barn and back with me and 6 month old Francisco .
Some may find this too slow for their taste , but I think some will find the sites and sounds of our barn walk a nice change of pace

Murphy had his sheath cleaned today . I was stunned to find three huge beans in there. I mean it’s not exactly like he even uses his sheath that often . He is “free W***y mode” most of the day . As soon as Murphy saw me pull out the bucket of warm water and the sheath cleaning solution he pinned his ears . By the time I had my gloves on Murphy had turned himself into a eu**ch. I could not even see it . For those of you who do not have Horses I do not even know how to explain what it’s like to go sheath diving. It’s an experience you will never forget, and not like your first time at Disneyland experience. With Murphy especially- once you do find his 🍆 it’s like trying to wrestle an anaconda out of its home. I have to start thinking of ways to get leverage, different things run through my mind like “can you sprain a p***s.” The whole time I’m talking to Murphy “ come on Murph , you literally let the whole world see it all day . You live 90% of your day dropped . Do you want to become known as the neighborhood horse with a dirty wand ?”
Anyway, we always get there eventually. Now I’m trying to decide if I need to gift box these and send them to stable Mabel , or with something like this would just a regular gift bag work.

The horse life is a fun life 🤣😎
