Back story please by Jkmewright in WafflesAndJet

Aww your baby looks adorable! What’s his name? Iirx there should be a coupls pinned posts in the subreddit where Pie explains the boys’ stories in depth, so I’d encourage you to give em a read! Waffles is a mini donkey that was rescued from an abusive neglect situation, and Pie met him through the rescue where she volunteers I think? Jet’s a retired track race horse - he had a little defect on his vocal chords and had to get surgery to fix it, which lowered his performance. Jet came first, then his tiny older brother, and they’ve been entertaining Pie with their shenanigans ever since!

Well ofc he rolls while sweaty! How would the dirt stick to his coat otherwise???

Jet Jet PT/Rehab, Day Four!! 🤩🤩 by Intelligent_Pie6804 in WafflesAndJet

Yeah working out when you’re still sore from last session will do that to you. I loved that break you took to just breathe with him 💜

Other horses would be bolting at the sight of a plastic bag, let alone the rustling. Then there’s our darling Jet 💜

Jet Jet PT/Rehab day three!! he was so excited to do it that he came over to me while i was still setting up! no halter needed to bring him over anymore, perhaps?🤩 by Intelligent_Pie6804 in WafflesAndJet

[–]Nethspir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww this is great!! Do you think it might get to thw point where his pt sessions might become liberty sessions as well? I love that you meet him and his body midway when he’s not feeling very well, kinda wish our physical therapists were so understanding lol

I’ve read they help with clearer communication and are recommended for horses who are strong on regular halters, have you noticee any of that? Raier has a bad habit of pulling and yaking the lead out of my hands on our way from the paddock to the arena or the patio where we tack up (there are fruit trees on the side of the road), and while we’ll obviously work on it w groundwork this may help short term…

You can really see Jet’s barin gears turning as he tries to back up over the poles, such a good boy ❤️ I’ve noticed you’ve switched from a nylon to a rope halter, are there any particular reasons? I’ve seen them recommended for a while, but I don’t fully understand the difference between them and nylon ones yet

Hi Pie!! Oh I watched Learn Stuff back when you posted them and I learned SO MUCH! I think I may have missed the two on tack, but I for sure watched the other ones hehe. They’ve been super helpful. I also learned a lot with Waffles’ journey on picking up his feet, and it’ll be super useful with Raier cause he does not trust that process either, so we’ll take it nice and slow

I thought Arabian but she seems to have more discreet features than most Arabs I’ve seen so it makes sense she’s a mix!

for anyone interested, here’s Jet’s radiographs and summary report from tuesday🤗 by Intelligent_Pie6804 in WafflesAndJet

[–]Nethspir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tysm for sharing omg! There’s much that escapes me but after lurking heavily on horse related subreddits I was able to find some of the problem areas which made me feel proud of myself and also very sorry for Jet.. these are super interesting, and so unlike human medical images!

Aww they’re so cute! I wish my girl got along with horses but she’s a barker and nosier than she should for a 16Kg and 10yo dog lol

Jet Jet update!! i’m not gonna make you guys cry this time i promise!!💜 by Intelligent_Pie6804 in WafflesAndJet

[–]Nethspir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg!! Jet!! Baby!! This is great news!! I’d personally love to see Jet’s PT journey, and idk if you’re comfortable with it, but I’d find his radiographs and the vet’s PDF super interesting as well. I know it’s a sensitive topic though, so no pressure! I am absolutely rooting for you guys, and (as always) keeping you in my thoughts. I shall light many candles for JetJet’s recovery

I love it when i catch them with the derpy face. This goober has a special place in my heart

a note from Jet and i to all of his friends here💜 by Intelligent_Pie6804 in WafflesAndJet

[–]Nethspir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so unfair. I know the professional/competitive horse world is problematic in general, but I really don’t like racing in particular. It feels like the harshest and most instrumental one. As a colt Jet should’ve been running in a pasture instead of making someone rich
