You're Doing What?


Hi mom and seesstterrr! This post is mainly for you. Just to show you that although I haven't mucked a stall in awhile almost 10 years, I still know how to get down and dirty on the farm!

As you can see the horses are happy as clams and don't worry about all of that hay in the aisle, because yep, I swept that up too! Clean barn = happy barn!


I've also learned that boys love a girl who isn't afraid of some manure on the bottom of her boot! CL was lovin' the barn Cara and said I looked like a natural. ---> I'm sorry hunny, but I really did grow up on horses and I did ride for a long time. I just prefer 5 pound pets opposed to a 900 pound pet (the poop is a lot smaller).


He also told me we can never leave this place. I don't know if it was the money talking or the fumes of the horse dung, but he sure is in love with this place. I swear I heard him curse the horses this morning when he was up at 7 a.m. wheeling the manure wagon over to the trees... just kiddin'!


Apparently these horses want to be on America's Next Top Pony because the sound of a camera makes them freeze and pose (even with a bucket full of food at their feet). There is no horsin' around when it comes to business with these two! HA!


Don't worry Mom, sissy already called to check in on them yesterday and CL showed me your worried concerned loving texts!


We got it dude!

I'm sure all of you are just as surprised as my mom and sister that I did in fact grow up on a farm and can in fact manage without two horses without supervision. I'm joking Mom! haha 

What's something I don't know about you?

  7. My boyfriend and I dream about living on a farm!! Not a horse farm, just a farm (not that we want to move in together ANY TIME SOON!) He says I can handle the veggies and he'll take care of the steer. I told him he could raise them as long as he treated them nicely and I didn't have to eat them, only love them.

    Looks like you're having fun. Such a gorgeous place!

  12. awwwwwwww you got it dude! =) i'm sure the horses love you for taking care of them!

    something about me? well since we're talking horses... I used to horseback ride at camp and a angry horse named granny decided we should go play on the highway off the trail in oncoming traffic.... then run into the stable wall... and then play in the lake by the stable.

    and I still heart horses =) haha
