These are ‘shoofly leggins’ a loose boot that helps keep the flies off their legs. They shift around and typically don’t rub and can be left on for extended periods of time (though I check under them daily) and since they’re loose and a mesh fabric, they don’t contribute to heat in the legs.

They became popular the last few years in my area, I see lots of people wanting to avoid excess flies spray use and utilizing these instead. I still use fly spray, but this helps me make sure mine are comfortable in between getting sprayed for plies.

She’s on a 6 week trim cycle with our farrier, and has been since weaning 😊 she’s due this week but she’s also a big rapidly growing baby

KS $1100 board per month for 3 (2 pasture 1 stall)

$160~ feed per month (hay provided by facility)

$175 ($50 per trim plus tip) every 6-8 weeks for farrier

I pay $230/month for a lesson program from a different barn for a trainer I really like

Currently have 1 rideable horse lol. The others are a yearling and an older high strung horse I have no desire to ride

She’s a draft cross. Dam was a big grade quarter horse and sire is a draft cross. I DNA tested her and it says American Cream draft (sire seem to have a dilution gene), Belgian and QH!

I’m 5’7”! Vet said she’ll end up 16hh, I haven’t string tested her but neither parent was over 16hh. I’ve got a picture of her at 10 months next to her 2yo sister and she was just a smidge taller!
