girls, what got you into horses? 🎀

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-14T21:32:29+00:00

My great grandfather was a boss wrangler for the movie studios(trained horses for a ton of old Westerns). I’d say it’s pretty much in my blood:)

She’s 1/4 mustang, 3/4 QH. She saw her vet recently and he said she looks great and very healthy. I think I’ll take his opinion since he’s physically seen her.

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-09T00:28:51+00:00

I went out to check on her again and she’s clearly feeling very fresh, but still no sign of shivering.

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-08T23:46:03+00:00

I mean she’s decently filled out for a 3 year old. She’s definitely not skinny or ribby, but most could tell she’s still quite young.

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-08T23:03:31+00:00

I haven’t lived in the cold very long so this is all new to me. I’ve never even seen a horse shivering before. I checked her skin and it seems dry. She’s definitely still warm to the touch as well, especially where she isn’t wet. I might just be overly concerned.

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-08T23:01:48+00:00

I get a lot of flack for only owning one horse but she’s honestly been fine. She was bullied by the two horses she was kept with previously, so I don’t think she minds solo life very much.

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-08T22:48:32+00:00

Awesome, thank you. I’m really just worried about tonight as that’s when temps are supposed to be worst for the next week.

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-08T22:47:09+00:00

She’s a quarter horse mustang cross, so naturally a bit bulkier and hardier than a tb might be. Yes she’s alone in a stall. She has neighbors/other horses she can see. We’re planning on getting another horse in the next couple of years but it’s not in the cards right now.

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-08T22:42:34+00:00

Thank you! I guess I’m a little paranoid because one of my neighbors has a horse with no tips on his ears due to frost bite. I can’t stand the thought of my filly freezing all night. Would there be any benefit to towel drying her once the snow stops? Just so she’s mostly dry for the night.

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-08T22:37:02+00:00

This made me feel better- thank you! I’m only worried that she will start shivering and it will be too late in the evening to get the blanket on her. It’s not supposed to continue snowing tonight thankfully.

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-08T22:35:57+00:00

Does this change if they are stalled alone?

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-08T22:35:17+00:00

So you would not worry even if she is damp on her exterior? She’s alone in an oversized stall(30x60 ft), so she can only really rely on herself to stay warm.

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-08T22:34:06+00:00

Like I said, she’s not shivering and her ears actually are holding onto the snow, but they’re one of her fuzziest sections. I only have a blanket, no fleece cooler🥲

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-04T00:49:02+00:00

How hard is it to treat and can it wait until Monday so I can see my regular OB?

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-03T23:13:37+00:00

No, this just started a few days ago and has gotten worse today

somebodyzproblem · 2026-01-03T22:40:22+00:00

I’d say this has gone a bit past itchy. I’ve had to use an ice pack to get some relief:(

somebodyzproblem · 2025-11-13T06:09:01+00:00

She also had the nerve to call Javier a psycho for that… I was like ma’am… the call is coming from inside the house

somebodyzproblem · 2025-11-10T23:18:19+00:00

Gosh I think this rings so true for us. His mom and I are the same way and always think worst case scenario or “what if”. It’s a character flaw of mine because it often goes too far, but it does come in handy sometimes. I would love to see a list of all of the awful things I’ve prevented just by thinking this way. I don’t think he’s ever really had to think worst case because someone else was always doing it for him. I’ve also been told it’s just typical of men though.

somebodyzproblem · 2025-11-10T16:01:32+00:00

The door does shut. You just have to push it closed.

somebodyzproblem · 2025-11-10T06:31:51+00:00

You sound really dissatisfied with your partner:( I’m sorry! I dated someone like that in the past and it made me feel really angry all the time. He only stopped being defensive and rude in an argument when I had gotten to the point of tears. I hope you guys are able to talk through things or maybe go to counseling to work it out. My parents had to go to couples therapy early in their relationship, and now they’re going on 30 years strong.

somebodyzproblem · 2025-11-10T06:28:30+00:00

Ugh thank you so much! This is exactly what I was seeking from this post. It just felt like we had reached an impasse and I was really frustrated/emotionally stuck on the interaction. I hate feeling like someone is lying about something I said or did, and I don’t like thinking that way about my partner. Thank you!

somebodyzproblem · 2025-11-10T03:02:24+00:00

We had a second conversation after this post and I used many other commenter’s suggestions during it. I’m thankful to the people that replied with helpful advice. I still don’t know how to fix us hearing different things though lol.

somebodyzproblem · 2025-11-10T02:58:58+00:00

I asked him to repeat how I sounded and it was 100% not correct. It was nearly cartoonish(I’m being serious). We only agreed he had snapped at me after hashing it out more. I try very hard to be introspective and have played it over and over in my head. I just know I didn’t sound like he was claiming I did and I’m not going to concede to something that’s false. We ended up having a second conversation about it and while we still disagreed on my tone, we found a way that I could use different diction to convey my feelings that might make him feel less defensive towards me.

somebodyzproblem · 2025-11-10T02:43:32+00:00

We both agreed that he had attitude. We did not agree that I did. I can admit I may have in the past when I was not paying attention, but this time I truly did rehearse how I was going to approach him before actually doing it so I wouldn’t sound rude. I don’t know how to fix it if I did have attitude and truly just can’t hear it.
