Proud pet parent of:

my new show horse, Tobey

How we met:

i go to a ranch known as the Lazy B Ranch. they gave me a new horse for showing in spring

Pet likes:

he likes to nibble on my hair and shirts or hat when i groom and saddle him

Pet dislikes:

roosters. i know this because the Lazy B Ranch has a ton of them on the property and when i rid him he saddles around them. i also dont like to use crops or spurs. i dont believe it does anything for you or the horse. i want my horse to trust me and to do well for me because they want to not because i beat them into action.

Pet’s favorite spot:

he likes his stall. well that is the only place they really let him go because i dont know why. but i dont own him, at least yet. but i take good care of him and i ride him regularly.

Pet’s favorite toy:

he loves to chew on my hat, hair, or shirt. whatever he can get to without me noticing until its too late

Pet’s silliest habit:

when i give him a bath he likes to roll in the mud and dirt. i think he does it because i dont tie him up like most do. if they want to run from me then i know im doing or did something wrong.

Pet’s sweetest moments:

we wait together before and after riding and shows, so he likes to stand behind me and breathe on my neck. it tickles and makes me laugh. i think he does this because he knows that i get a little nervous before a show.

I crack up when my pet:

he gallops in tight circles when he is in the ring. when i try to catch him to groom him, or saddle him we play a game of chase for a bit and then he chases me. it all started when i did a technique called join up. it builds trust in a horse and a rider.

My pet is unique because:

i feel more cared for by him than i do in my own place.
