Hello, #FediVerse! I am new here and I am looking for my people so that I can follow them and maybe even have conversations. Are you my people?

I’m migrating from Instagram, where I did more lurking than posting. It’s taking me some time to find my way around over here.

I’m particularly interested in finding #Horse people, and people who are into #ClickerTraining, #PositiveReinforcement, and #AnimalBehavior. I worked in #AnimalRescue for five years, but man is that a hard, draining career. I am currently recovering from pretty severe burnout. But I still love my local #AnimalShelter.

All of my horses are #Adopted because hey, I was in a position to provide them a home when they needed it. No shame if that’s not how you got your horse(s) - I just find that if I think too hard about looking for another herd member, the universe provides. So I try not to think that too hard, because the ones I have now are plenty! :P

My #horses are varied in size from a tall #Percheron to a chonky little #Haflinger, and all in their mid-twenties. They live with me at a rural #HousingCooperative and kindly allow themselves to be petted and played with by local community members in an outreach program that I started this winter. It’s still a pretty small endeavor. We’ll see where it goes. I’ll probably post about that sometimes.

I hope this reaches you, #HorseLovers and #ClickerTrainers! Also, anyone else who wants to say hi! There is a long list of other topics I may post about in my bio, so I won’t list everything in this already rather long post. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
Abner the Haflinger horse strides toward the camera across a snowy meadow. He's wearing a stylish purple halter and blue lead rope. The rope is just draped over his back because he's a very good boy and comes back when I let him out to go exploring. There are trees in the background and a grey sky above.

A hamster sits on a red horse and calls hop. Both are in a good mood.


I read that Ozzy Osbourne stopped taking LSD one day when he had an hour-long talk with a horse and at the end the horse told him to "fuck off."
After 24 years of going back and forth with gluten intolerance, a year ago I had a very serious conversation with a loaf of bread. One day when my wife left, I decided to face what seemed like an addiction. I put a loaf of bread cut in half on the table and started having a chat with him. Lots of questions and lots of answers. After that conversation, many things became clear to me and I haven't eaten it again absolutely no gluten since then.
Surely Ozzy's horse was a projection like my bread. It's a good method, it works.

And the last of the ponies - another two Haflingers - Nicky and Aurora

A partially completed cross stitch sampler. At the bottom there are six ponies- two Haflingers, a bay, a chestnut and another two Haflingers
A Haflinger horse’s head poking out of an open stable door. His coat is a light chestnut and his mane is white. He has a blaze.
A Haflinger mare’s head over a stable door. She has a light chestnut coat and white mane. She also has a large white star and snip


And another pony.

And yes, they have names. Left to right we have Babs, Sailor, Spice and Sandy. Babs and Sailor were Haflingers, Spice was a TBxID (a big fearless mare who would jump anything you pointed her at) and Sandy was a Welsh Section B x Arab and went like the proverbial off a shovel (she jumped ridiculously high fences too).

See. There’s reasons behind all the oddly scaled critters.

Below the fence are four ponies two Palominos then a bay and then a chestnut. There’s space on the right for two more ponies.
