    After some technical difficulties, The Herd is back up and running. As the most senior member of The Herd, I would like to welcome our newest member: Mbappe. Mbappe is a 6 year old off the track Arabian. Welcome to The Herd, Mbappe!

    Just ignore the new guy and hopefully he will go away.

    I have Tevis fever! I am thinking of having a go at it next year. Who wants to join me!?!?

    In preparation, I am going to start my Tevis diet on Saturday!
    Jul 28, 2023
    I think I have a fever, too. I better stay in bed all day tomorrow and not try to get any work done.
    Jul 28, 2023
    I just did my final Tevis prep-walk this morning. I feel good about my chances of getting a buckle this year.
    Jul 29, 2023
    I sent in my entry for the geriatric hand-walking division of Tevis, but it turns out there is no such division! So I slept in this morning and am following the action online. Between naps.
    Jul 30, 2023
    Watching Tevis this year was great! Let's all do Tevis next year. We should start planning now. I want to have two or three monitors setup to watch all the action.

    I was just looking at the Cougar Rock photos from this year's Tevis. Next year I am going to set up a stand at the top and sell clean underwear to the riders.

    I feel that horse's pain. Really, I do.

    I find it is best to take charge from the beginning.

    Happy Birthday @Peppa! The big One-Seven! You're never too old to misbehave.

    And apparently you are never too old to get dressed up like a princess.
    May 29, 2023
    So is it true that being a Princess is hard work? You don't look terribly thrilled about your title.
    Jun 08, 2023
    It takes a lot of energy to be adorable. The big doe eyes alone are exhausting. But I do like the extra snacks that come along with the title.
  • Justin Morgan Had a Horse is a movie about a horse named Figure who invented the Morgan horse breed. Figure was a little horse who was good at a lot of things. In this movie we learned that if you work hard you will get worked hard.

    I too am good at many things. I probably inherited that from Figure. Figure is my great x16 grandfather! We have learned a lot about human training in the intervening generations that ensures that humans work harder than we do!
  • The Black Stallion is the best movie. The Black is a heroic horse because he gets to do whatever he wants, which is to be wild and run around a lot.

    I love The Black! How can a girl like me not fall for a stallion that loves to run!

    Can you believe I have been banned from Twitter!? They claim my account is a fake. So I am going to start my own twitter-like platform called Nicker. It is going to be awesome. I am working on designing the logo now. So all you horses who get banned from Twitter because they don't think you are a real person should check it out.

    Does anyone else have the problem that their human loses their mind at the end of October every year?

    I don't want to talk about it.

    I was once threatened with a Halloween costume where I would have had to wear a pantsuit. Someone came up with the idea of us horses doing a group Charlie's Angels costume, with me as Sabrina, Jigger as Jill, and Rupert as Kelly. Fortunately the prospect of sewing a large horse-sized pantsuit was an insurmountable hurdle, so it never happened (so no photos!).

    I am so excited to be one of the poster ponies for The Herd! Out in pasture I always find it hard to decide which of my favorite pastimes to pursue--eating or running.
    Sep 01, 2022
    I have the same problem! When I am out on the pasture I can't decide if I should eat or roll. Luckily I am talented enough to do both at the same time.

    That's a great photo @Peppa. But why is the rider still on your back. You are supposed to chuck them in the river and THEN cross.

    I think I am allergic to white clothing. Every time I see a white shirt or white pants I need to sneeze

    Those of us horses that are racing fit are lucky to be able to eat so much food. I always feel sorry for horses that post their tiny meals on instagram.
    Jul 03, 2022
    Ain't that the truth @Peter Rabbit! Will I be seeing you at the big race this month?

    When things get crazy, the most important thing is to protect your own face, even at the expense of others.

    Unfortunately, that's not going to leave a scar.

    Hey old man! It is good to know that you are still alive and kicking!
    Jun 03, 2022
    I haven't kicked anyone in like 15 years. Why does everyone always bring that up?
    Jun 06, 2022
    I am so excited to meet the infamous Peter Rabbit!
