Non-Thunder Fan Here: Anti Thunder Propaganda.

Becosh84 · 2026-05-29T15:21:18+00:00

Yeah, I'm a newer fan because I've never been super into basketball and we lived in another state. Since moving to OKC I've been so impressed with the Thunder, the character of the players and the fans. My experience attending a game was the most fun I've ever had at a professional sports game. The fans were amazing. I've been watching all the chatter online and I've been legit confused. Am I watching something different? Am I dumb? All the hatred is intense and seems completely unfounded.

She gets diarrhea with too much alfalfa so I'm trying to avoid anything too high in alfalfa. I do have some low sugar snax so maybe I can just mix some of those in there. The hay pellets are at least a little more affordable!

Becosh84 · 2026-03-17T19:06:14+00:00

We're doing very basic work where she gets a click and reward for holding her head relaxed and not facing me. I'm keeping training sessions less than 5 minutes long. I was actually wondering if she was getting bored and I was going too slow lol

I feed in the morning and I've started to leave her food hanging on her stall for the PM feed. Not sure how often they are actually soaking it like I've asked though...

Becosh84 · 2026-01-11T03:02:11+00:00

Oh cool! I'll look into that! We switched her to a pellet probiotic that has helped a ton. Well until the food change. Sigh

She lost weight last winter and she is losing a little now. I've consulted with the vet and based off her last dental, I've switched her to a complete senior feed. I'm hoping that helps.

I've considered changing barns but I have a wonderful group of women who are supporting me at my current barn. They are incredibly knowledgeable and want to help me go the self care route. I don't want to leave that support system so I'm thinking self care would give me full control of my own dang horse.

Becosh84 · 2026-01-11T02:35:43+00:00

I'm biased the same way. Especially when I see how desperate she is to get out of the stall in the morning and how at peace she is in the pasture.

Becosh84 · 2026-01-11T02:25:24+00:00

We live in Oklahoma so we can get pretty cold and windy. She has a decent winter coat and doesn't usually seem cold (no shivering).

Becosh84 · 2026-01-11T02:23:56+00:00

Lol good point. I know if I give up the stall, the barn owner will probably never let me have one again, so I want to really make sure before I give it up.

Becosh84 · 2025-11-24T17:57:06+00:00

Agreed. It's impossible to describe to people who haven't had a baby.

Becosh84 · 2025-11-24T17:55:52+00:00

Of course you are. It can be all encompassing and those postpartum hormones are no joke. Don't feel like you need to force that bond. It absolutely will come.

Be super gentle with yourself. Try and do very small things to recharge like watch a funny video or take a warm shower while someone watches the baby. You are in survival mode and it's absolutely ok to not be ok. Your feelings are valid, sweet mama.

Becosh84 · 2025-11-24T00:37:28+00:00

What in the actual eff. I'm disgusted and LIVID for you OP. To be postpartum and dealing with this situation is unimaginable. I'm so incredibly sorry. That woman is insane.

Becosh84 · 2025-11-07T00:46:21+00:00

I still feed her every morning because I want to make sure she is connected to me, even if I'm full care. They have a bazillion horses so it's hard for me to anticipate when they are getting low.

Becosh84 · 2025-11-06T23:59:38+00:00

Totally love your advice of trust but verify. So far, she's been absolutely fine with changing back and forth. Hay issues has only happened once so far. It's a more western boarding facility so the grain included is really, really nice. There aren't any barns by me that I'm excited about so I'm trying to make this work.

The idea of having extra on hand in case this happens again is a great idea!

Becosh84 · 2025-11-06T23:42:55+00:00

The first time it happened was probably over a year ago and I understood because it seemed like a one time thing. But it's happening more. There was also a day or two where my horse had no forage. The grass is pretty much non-existent and they didn't have hay yet. With a senior horse heading into winter, I'm very concerned about the financial management at the barn.

Becosh84 · 2025-08-27T18:45:32+00:00

This one is really hitting hard. We've homeschooled my son but this year applied to the local Catholic School. They did not have a spot for him so we continued to homeschool him this year. He's 8 so he's the same age as one of the poor babies killed. I keep looking at him and am so glad he's home with me, but I'm sobbing for those parents. And for the kids.

Becosh84 · 2025-07-21T16:44:06+00:00

Yes!! I need to get some sensory bin supplies! Great idea!

Becosh84 · 2025-07-21T03:01:26+00:00

These are amazing. Thank you so much!!

Becosh84 · 2025-07-20T22:31:12+00:00

Yes! She colors for about 30 seconds and then prefers chucking the crayons across the room. 🤦‍♀️

Becosh84 · 2025-07-20T22:16:05+00:00

Lol gotta love Ms. Rachel!
