Baby's First Clip

Zoebird is a lady from the cold, snowy north.

horse hats for a reason

I live in the desert.

you can't tell on account of how DST sucks

We're having some warm weather even by "high mountain desert" standards, which means nice rides get cut short because a certain bold, curvy lady is #Zoedying in the heat.

Y R SO HOT MOM

I have been LOVING this winter in terms of having a legit horse who just wants to horse and not wear blankets and be babied. But also. Let's not get heatstroke here. It's January after all.

is it really reusing a photo if it's still cute?

This weekend, I finally busted out the big clippers.

MOM R REAL CRZY 4 REAL

And went to town.

It's not the prettiest clip job I've ever done.

But.

My baby mare who had never seen big clippers before in her life was like MOM U CRAZY BUT HOKAY and stood there like a total champion. She was a bit bored/twitchy by the time I got to her butt, so hopefully we'll attack that another day.

I'm hoping as we get back to work this week, she'll be a lot more comfortable. The other obvious plus side is that now she gets to look completely adorable in a blanket.

I dunno why other horses look so boring in blankets but ZB is super extra adorable.
