My favorite part about entering Illusion into a local trail competition was the looks I got, the snide comments about his hair, and the eyebrow raises when I told people he’s only 3…. Until he went in and killed it like an old pro 🤪
@21cowhorses GIRL…. I could go on and on about this. They wanna be keyboard warriors about the “proper” age to start horses but let them get huge without teaching them ANYTHING which sets them up for failure later in life. Like tell me how that’s better?
@21cowhorses GIRL I’ve recently dipped my toes into Gypsy Vanners and those people are BANANAS. There was a lady with an ISO post for a kid-safe stallion 🤯
@hmccoll15 Actually horrifying. They claim the injury could have only been a day or two old but judging by the granulation tissue we guessed it to be a week old… they assumed since she was standing it wasn’t serious 😭
Today I had to explain to a young couple why it was necessary to euthanize their young horse due to a severely infected heel bulb injury involving the joint… they couldn’t comprehend the horse wouldn’t survive without it’s front foot… they have 3 more horses at home…. 🫣😭
Hot take: foals by stallions with genetic diseases should not be allowed to be registered. Simply baffled by people’s negligence and greed, especially having experience on the stallion ownership side of things 🤦🏼♀️
Who, me? Yea I agreed to put the first couple rides on a 15.2 hand 9 year old Gypsy Vanner who has barley been touched outside of some numbnutt who neglected and abused him 🫡🫠 Jesus take the wheel
@haley_binkley Don’t shoot it in your barn! Throw a tarp over the trap then take it far away from buildings where you don’t wanna smell it, then do what ya gotta do 😅
