As many probably know, for me 2016 was a working year. I've complained about it a lot, to pretty much anyone who would listen. I've worked more hours in a year than I ever have previously. It's probably the amount that regular people work, but I'm a cowgirl, I only try to work enough to support my habit. And my habit is horses and horse related activities. In fact, my habit is up to 15 + 2 ponies (and I don't count ponies as horses, because.... they're ponies) And when a person who has a 15 and counting habit, decides to have a "working year" that person needs to have help. Like the physical kind, not the mental kind! (There's nothing wrong with me!!) 🤣Though, I'm sure that's what most of you were thinking!
I get quite a bit of help from my mom, who has recently gone under the knife, so she isn't much physical help at the moment. The other person who keeps my life together is my husband, Gabe. If you look closely, you will see him in the background of this picture breaking ice, while I pet, kiss, and take pictures of my horses. He has fed every day, hauled hay, broke ice, plowed snow, and otherwise done all of the work to make sure all our horses and ponies are taken care of while I spend excessive amounts of time at work.
I am so thankful I took my mom's advice.... Marry a cowboy! Marry someone who does what you do and it will be one less thing you argue about. Don't get me wrong, we've had disagreements over horses and the amount I like to keep on hand. But I do have a plan for them, and Gabe is super supportive of my goals. He'd have to be.... who lets their wife keep 15 horses and 2 ponies around that he has to feed??? That's crazy! Like, the kind of crazy that needs help.... you know, the mental kind!! 😂 (There might be something wrong with him.) But he is my kind of crazy, and I love that! I love him too! 😙
