Because life with horses is never orderly.
Happy Halloween! (Almost)
Spooky Season is quickly approaching and for some — like my gelding– it will be a fleeting moment where he can hopefully mooch more snacks from the feckless Small Predators.😅🎃
For others, however, it’s a perpetual state of being (looking at you, Red Mare, we all know that’s not an act. 🫣😱🙄)
Greetings from Dante’s Headquarters! 🔥
This week’s comic is a shout-out to all of my fellow equestrians who have been melting their faces off the last few months or so.
I legitimately did not realize how profusely elbows could sweat, and yet, here we are. 🤔🧐
While I would *never* wish winter (and it’s four-letter word compadre, SNOW, on anyone), I can admit it might be a bit more pleasant not to be shellacked with sweat into my breeches and bra simply from walking outside.🤣
But until it chills some, stay hydrated, my friends! ☕🍷🥃🍹
In unfortunate news, Winter is still hanging around for most of you.
In slightly better news, we are still in the no man’s land between Christmas and New Years so no one is really expecting much from us. 😂😅 Feel free to stay buried under 14 blankets with your *adult hot chocolate.
If you are masochistic enough to venture out and try to ride, make good life choices (I’m looking at you all over in the UK who, from my lurking on the sh*teeventers page, apparently don’t know what lunging is. 😂😳). I say this with love of course.
Since it looks like a large portion of my wonderful equestrian community here already have, or will be getting blasted with sNOw over the holiday, I thought this week’s new comic could serve both as a reminder of the seasonal festivities AND some helpful advice. 😉😂
Kidding (mostly)– I know some of you masochists actual enjoy this frigid doom.
Greetings from Sunny Florida where snow is but a disturbing concept! 😂
Today the low is 65, which is admittedly not very ‘festive’ in the traditional holiday sense, but given my deeply rooted hatred of sNOw, I’ll take it!
This week’s comic is dedicated to all my friends still suffering from the white plague; may you find some humor and joy in your otherwise frozen wasteland. (Also, I have a guest room and some empty stalls if you need to thaw out.) 😅
*Also, this is a nod to the incomparable Calvin and Hobbes, for those curious.
Woody has even more choice words for this sort of thing.
Can’t say I blame them for their clear disdain over these shenanigans. 😉 Still, it is pretty amusing.
*Retread comic from 2016.
So, it seems that Summer is almost here! (In some parts of the world – you know the *better places* sans ‘winter’ – it actually almost feels like it!)😉
That means it’s also almost time for normal people to escape the heat and take glorious beach vacations and trips to the lake! 😃
But not equestrians. We have no time AND no money. *Wah, Wah* 😔
But(!)— I have a solution; I present to you all, an equestrian’s ‘Beach vacation.’ Looks splendid, yes?😂
You’re welcome.
It would seem many of you are currently experiencing this joy. Meanwhile, over here in Florida, I have sort of forgotten it’s wintermageddon. 🤔😅
It is in your honor then, that I present you with this week’s comic featuring Snow–destroyer of endless summer dreams.
You’re welcome.
A recipe for pure hell.
Because NOT touching your face isn’t hard enough when it isn’t covered in 47 bazillion tiny, tickling, scratching hairs. 😀 Bonus! Failure actually could be a life or death issue. Awesome.
Sissy stuff there.
Pshh! Those are WARM! Out here we have FROZEN CYCLONES. You’re Welcome. Love, Winter.
