  • Ears pinned flat against their head, rapid breathing, swishing tail, turning their ass towards you and lifting a foot a lil, stomping, sometimes baring teeth, flaring nostrils.

    The best thing is to look at the ears tho. This graphic is a good depiction of ear language. Ears stiffly forward and can also mean curiosity/interest, so you have to watch the tail and the rest of the body to make sure the horse is actually curious and not thinking there’s danger or some shit. I’ve included a graphic that’s a good representation of war language.

    Mares have a thing called the mare stare. It’s just them making staring at you aggressively but 9/10 they don’t actually mean anything by it and they’re just being catty. Sandy is an expert at the mare stare. Whenever she gives me that look, I scold “Excuse you!” And she’ll stop immediately and have a better expression and I’ll say, “I know that you’re a bad bitch. You don’t need to tell me, you need to tell the herd.”

    . A lot of people hate mares for how catty and dramatic they can be, but I love it. It’s like some real housewives drama but with huge critters that can kill you with one kick. Sandy’s herd has a mare that will constantly go from being one of Sandy’s good pals, to a total bitch to the whole herd.













  • I’m working with like-minded family and friends to get them armed and trained on how to use their firearms. I’m thankful that I was taught all this years ago and can provide assistance to people I care about who want to be able to defend themselves.

    We are all also being very loud about the atrocities being committed and are doing what we can to support and help one another, whether that be financially, by sharing different resources such as medical and mental health stuff, helping with groceries, or just lending and ear and shoulder to cry on. All we have is each other. Our leaders have abandoned the people and actively try to tear down any resistance.

    I’m disabled and unable to go protest, so I do what I can to make a difference and fight the good fight. It isn’t much, but I’m doing my best. If it comes down to it, if I need to hide people in my home because they’re being hunted by the government, I’ll be more than happy to provide refuge.

    I love where I live, despite its flaws. It’s a beautiful place and is my home. I don’t want to leave it. I want to fight for it to become better.



  • I think she’ll be just fine. :) She has extra hay and bedding in her stall and the barn is considerably warmer than the outside even though it isn’t heated. The doors are closed and the crazy amount of square bales gives it some insulation. Hopefully she’ll huddle up with the other horses outside. They all go out every day regardless of weather because horses are very hardy creatures and they need outside time to thrive. I got Sandy into a pretty good condition for this winter, so I’m not too worried about her. I’ll always worry a lil bit tho lol.
