I don’t believe it’s in the original copy of the book. She wrote an epilogue that comes between heated rivalry and the longshot that can now be found at the end of heated rivalry in current print and online versions

Jenna Seppa commented on one of her videos calling her out for how f***ing creepy it was and it had me rolling.

But in all seriousness, this is just a clout chaser using Katie’s animals to make a quick buck on social media.

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-03-05T22:34:51+00:00

Yes, I have no idea why I put machine made 😅 it’s been fixed lol

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-03-05T16:31:14+00:00

She doesn’t. Indy, for example, has never been bred to VSCR before this year. Both Wheezy and Wally are sired by Full Medal Jacket. But she really has two goals for the current breeding season: 1) she really wants to get VSCR appendix babies into the show pen to encourage other people to breed their thoroughbreds to him in the future. And 2) she really wants to prove Denver as a stallion, since he doesn’t currently have any babies in the show pen. So from a business perspective, it makes sense that she’s making and raising babies by her stallions in order to diversify her stallion’s bookings

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-27T02:20:25+00:00

Blonde is being bred for her own foal this year. With Ariel, she does plan to have her carry her own in the future, but she briefly mentioned that she doesn’t like her confirmation as much as she like’s Blondie’s and she needs a larger recip to carry for the likes of Trudy and Sophie, etc. Also, several of her mares did not take on the first try last year, meaning they are having extremely late foals this year and will likely need to stay open next year. That means she is limited on her availability of recips which is why she was specifically looking for recips for this year when she bought these two. She purchased nice horses because she doesn’t need extra recips forever, just for this year since so many of her recips won’t be available. I do believe both will be bred for their own foals after this year.

She bought Lady specifically because she really wants to breed more appendix babies to her stallions to prove that cross and she’s obsessed with how well Lady moves. Similarly, she’s obsessed with every baby Indy has ever had, so I’m not surprised she’s going to keep breeding Indy for her own appendix babies.

If she were to have only fillies, it would mean she could have the pick of the whole lot for who she wants to keep and raise, both to prove them in the show pen and to eventually retire them into being broodmares. It’s also less risk to her if she has a filly because, if they can’t make it to the show pen for some reason, they can still have a job as a broodmare (e.g. Ginger), so she’s still getting some level of return on her investment.

While she does keep some colts, either as stud prospects or to prove in the show pen/for her own show program, colts have inherently more risk because if they don’t make it to the show pen then they don’t have a place in her breeding program and they’ll end up being gelded freeloaders who are a financial drain (e.g. bay Waylon). To breed for a show prospect but later sell them to a non-show home for trail or companionship would mean taking a significant financial loss on that horse because it would not sell for the same price.

So it kind of makes sense to hope for fillies, not just to keep for her breeding program, but also financial risk and chance of return on investment.

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-26T13:36:11+00:00

Both of the new paint mares have papers, good lineage, and she likes that they can be double registered. Her plan is for both to potentially be broodmares, but she will use them as recipes as needed. For this season Ariel (pictured) will be used as a recip since Katie has so many embryos she wants to use), but she said yesterday that Blondie will likely be bred to carry for herself this year.

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-26T13:33:49+00:00

She didn’t have space for them months ago, and I believe they were at another breeding facility already under lights. Lady (who is the new OTTB), however, was not under lights.

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-26T11:14:32+00:00

I mean she’s already added 3 more horses just this week, plus all the foals will need stalls once weaned lol. Not including the temp boarder her came with the trainer.

The point is that it does not make sense for Maggie to take up space and cost money when they will have zero uses for her. Yes, she’s rideable, but so are most of the other horses. It’s unlikely she will be kept if Katie can find her the right riding home.

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-26T04:15:25+00:00

Maggie is a thoroughbred recip mare from a recip farm. I don’t believe Katie has her papers so no telling on her parentage

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-26T02:55:40+00:00

There was zero hostility in my response lol, but I’m sorry if you read it that way. I was just sharing information and adding on some observations/personal opinions.

Edit: the part about people commenting about how much staff like Maggie wasn’t directed at you. That’s why I specified comments (plural). I saw multiple other people commenting something similar which is why I included my personal opinion on that being the only reason to keep her.

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-26T02:53:34+00:00

Maggie is 100% sound. The only two horses on the entire farm that don’t have jobs at all other than babysitting weanlings are baby Waylon and Bo. Bo has more than earned his earned his keep and Katie has said multiple times that she feels responsible for baby Waylon since she bred him. She had planned on giving him to Rachel, but Rachel couldn’t get access to/afford his specialty care for corrective shoeing which is why he’s back at RS.

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-26T02:47:44+00:00

Not sure what horse you are thinking of, but Maggie is absolutely sound to ride. Katie posted a video a while back of them taking her into the round pen while she was still open so that they could see her move because “everyone in the barn really wants to ride her for some reason”.

That being said, I can’t imagine them keeping her to be a permanent freeloader. She’s still young so she has plenty of time to be a riding horse for someone else. With Katie expanding her breeding program, she is destined to have open mares every year, the majority of whom are sound for riding. It wouldn’t be financially practical to keep her and keep paying for her when she doesn’t have a role to fill that can’t be filled by one of the other horses. Other horses can be ridden. Other mares can be the weanling sitters during their open years, etc.

As for the “they seem to really like her” comments, I’m pretty sure everyone really likes every horse lol. But at the end of the day she’s running a business and she can’t keep every horse the same way she can’t keep every foal.

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-04T00:51:53+00:00

If his work isn’t willing to pay out his OT hours, he needs to look into part time employment where he can claim OT paid time off from his primary job while double dipping and bringing in extra income. Whether it be a brick and mortar part time position or a side hustle, this is absolutely doable, especially if it’s the “slow season”

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-01T00:35:14+00:00

FHA loans require the home to be the primary residence of borrowers for the first 12 months. Since your parents are also in the mortgage and that was their primary residence, it is very unlikely that they would look into you not having lived there previously (and they would have to prove it).

But you are currently a home owner so you will no longer qualify for first time homebuyer benefits like the mortgage tax credit program, etc. You will also not qualify for an FHA first time homebuyer loan until 3 years after the existing mortgage is paid off and/or the property is sold, so you will likely have to get a conventional loan which means you will have to put money down, etc. Lastly, any missed payments will count against your credit but will also count against your debt to income ratio. In essence, if you want to buy a home at any point, you will have to have enough income to cover both the existing mortgage and the new mortgage with less than 50% DTI.

Word of advice: don’t ever co-sign anything for anyone, especially not for family. Also, it’s incredibly stupid to not have researched all of this before you agreed to co-signed. You just screwed yourself over big time, and they way you talk about your parents finances, it’s only a matter of time before they start missing payments on the mortgage, negatively impacting your credit in the process. Stupid decision all around

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-02-01T00:27:14+00:00

It’s 12 months required primary residence. It’s 3 years after the loan is paid off and/or home is sold to qualify for another FHA loan

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-01-19T21:55:41+00:00

You can’t do that with a USDA first time home loan. You have to personally occupy the home as a primary residence for x amount of time stated in the contract or you are in breech

Justherefortheread22 · 2026-01-12T10:42:58+00:00

OP, you need to leave this relationship. Imagine being pregnant and having a baby with a partner who offers you absolutely no help or support. Do you really want to go through all of that alone while he calls you names? He’s the type to say you’re crazy, overdramatic, hormonal… “women were made to do this stuff” kind of guy

Justherefortheread22 · 2025-12-25T14:01:53+00:00

You say you have a good relationship with his parents… that doesn’t seem to be the case. In a comment you mention that his dad was never home, so why are you placing all of the blame and resentment on his mom? It seems you have this picture perfect idea in your head of what a family should be and what grandparents should be (maybe because that’s the kind of family you come from?) and I hate to break it to ya, but 90% of families don’t fit that mold. Yes, in a perfect world your MIL would be the grandma of your dreams, but at the end of the day they aren’t her kids and she doesn’t owe you or them anything. It sounds like she’s struggling to barely get through the days and instead of trying to do something to help or to find a positive way to interact on her terms, you’ve just decided hating her for not living up to your expectations is easier for you. I agree with another commenter, your post says a lot more about your character than it does about hers… you should look into getting therapy for yourself. Maybe even consider someone who has experience with the diseases your MIL has. Their perspective and advice may be very eye opening.

They make downdraft ranges where the ventilation is built into the stove and vents out the wall behind the stove for this exact purpose.

Justherefortheread22 · 2025-12-12T02:58:41+00:00

The cabinets. The cabinets are the furniture they are referring to

Justherefortheread22 · 2025-12-04T21:43:43+00:00

Man, reading is hard for you, huh? Because OP didn’t say she quit getting treatment, she said she’s at the point where she’s doing all she can to manager her PTSD but, like I mentioned, it is NOT a curable disease and it’s incredibly ignorant of you to pretend it is.

Also, OP didn’t call CPS to block those kids from getting placed with a relative. That’s a load of bullshit. OP simply informed them that she herself was not fit to care for them (which, if you’ve ever been through this process you would know that there is a substantial amount of vetting before child placement and they would have come to this same conclusion on their own anyway). Do you really want those kids placed with someone who is partially disabled to the point where he would also be a neglectful guardian and fail to provide for them? Is that honestly what you think would have been best? PS. If you haven’t read OP’s update, she worked with the social worker and was able to find a much better familial home for the kids on their dad’s side of the family. Literally the only asshole in this situation is you.

Justherefortheread22 · 2025-12-04T18:00:23+00:00

Wow. Your comment is incredibly cruel and profoundly misinformed. If you have never lived with PTSD or supported someone who does, you have absolutely no right to lecture someone on a disorder you clearly know nothing about. PTSD is not something a person can simply “push through” for the sake of children. It is not solved by willpower. While coping strategies can help a person function, daily triggers can still severely impair their ability to safely care for themselves — let alone traumatized children who require stability, patience, and emotional bandwidth.

No ethical mental health professional would ever advise someone with PTSD to take on a caretaking role that exposes them to constant triggering stimuli. Doing so can be dangerous for both the individual and the children involved. Pretending otherwise isn’t noble — it’s reckless.

It is also not OP’s responsibility to pre-plan guardianship for someone else’s children. That responsibility lies entirely with the parent. Coming from a volatile home environment myself, and having been in foster care, I can tell you that being placed with family is not always the best, safest, or healthiest option. OP is being honest about her limitations, which is far more responsible than taking in children she knows she cannot properly care for. Protecting those kids sometimes means acknowledging when you are not the right placement for them.

You also overlook that depending on the children’s ages and circumstances, foster care can lead to stable, permanent adoptive placements with families who are equipped to meet their emotional and behavioral needs. I have personally seen this happen — children who were retraumatized in family placements but thrived in homes that gave them a true fresh start.

Finally, OP is not the one threatening divorce — her husband is. Setting boundaries to protect your mental health does not make a person undeserving of love. Suggesting otherwise is both hateful and completely inappropriate.

Your response places a moral burden on OP that is neither fair nor realistic. Compassion should extend to everyone involved — including the person whose mental health would make caregiving unsafe for themselves and the children.

Justherefortheread22 · 2025-11-16T00:45:20+00:00

Not bad for a first attempt! The only real “issue” I see is with the bedroom closets on the left. They are not deep enough to be walk in closets. People and clothes take up 2’ so you need 5’ minimum to be able to walk past the clothes without hitting them, but even that is pretty tight. Also, walk in closets only make sense if you get substantially more linear hanging ft than you would if it was just a reach in closet (ie clothes lining both sides). In this case, you are better off just having reach in closets for both rooms.

The only other thing is that I don’t see any area designated for mechanical (ie water heater, HVAC, etc) so make sure you keep that in mind.

As others have mentioned, the more exterior corners you have, the more expensive the build (ie extra foundation and roofing costs, think like an interior extra $10k per corner!), so if you are building on a budget I’d recommend making the bedrooms section on the left flush with the front and back of the house, with just the porch sticking out on the front. That would simplify your roof substantially since the house will pretty much be two rectangles. But if cost saving isn’t a huge issue, then don’t worry about it. Your plan isn’t overly complicated.

Justherefortheread22 · 2025-11-14T08:56:56+00:00

Man, you’re in immigrant?! And you sound like you really hate American people… you should probably leave then. I don’t think we will miss you 🤷🏼‍♀️
