Enjoy 2 min of My little man enjoying electrolyte water while we talk about his name 😂 (not on the video, here instead). On TikTok there is a girl who names her horses after Disney characters, and I thought that is a really cool idea. And she said send me a pic of your horse and let's see if I can think of a name. So I sent it and she came up with the name "Bug" from A Bugs Life. Although there isn't a character by this name, I actually find this really endearing for two reasons - it's a nickname that my mom gave to me, and it's also the name of a mini pony in heartland who was helping the little blind girl.

I get really good vibes off of this name, especially around him - and I tried to look up the definition just to make sure there wasn't anything silly about it - and aside from its actual definition (typically an insect) - the English origin states: "Bug" as a name is typically a nickname rather than a formal given name. It often derives from affectionate or playful terms, suggesting someone small, lively, or quirky, akin to a small insect. It’s also used as a term of endearment (e.g., "little bug").

What do you think? If you don't like this, do you have any suggestions?

🌟 Wow, what a whirlwind couple of days with clients! 😅 I’ll catch you all up soon, but I *had* to share how AMAZING Roku is! 🙌 One of my core passions is creating a worry-free, super comfy space for my clients. 🏡 Our suite’s TV with an Amazon stick was great for letting clients log into their favorite apps to unwind... until it wasn’t. 😣

A few months ago, I got the upgraded stick, but after every client, I had to deactivate it. Then, three clients ago, it started acting up—hours of troubleshooting! 😩 Yesterday, a last-minute client reached out, and the TV situation was just *not* acceptable. 🚫

So, I asked Grok: “What’s the best streaming stick for my suite?” Grok recommended Roku with a full list of pros and comparisons. 📊 I dashed to Home Depot, thinking, “Let’s give it a shot!” AND OH MY GOSH, was it worth it! 🎉

Roku’s guest mode is a GAME-CHANGER! 😍 When activated, it greets clients with a screen to enter their checkout date. They can log into *any* app (yes, including Prime! 📺), and their preferences are saved during their stay. Then, at 11 AM on checkout day, it *automatically* logs them out and wipes everything! 🧹 I can even check them out manually if they leave early. 🙌

My clients are loving the seamless access to all their favorite shows, and I’m stress-free knowing it’s all handled. If you host guests or clients, Roku is a MUST! 💯

🐎 Tonto, my spirited pony, is keeping me on my toes! 🚶‍♀️ Every time we head out for a walk, it’s crystal clear how much training he still needs. This pushy little guy nips, tosses his head, and shoves with his face when he doesn’t get to charge forward on his terms! 😅 I’ve been working on backup corrections to help him learn some manners, but his mind is so laser-focused on what *he* wants, it’s been tough to get him to open up to learning. 🧠

Today, I took both horses up to the top lot, and when I let Licorice roam free, Tonto was *not* having it. 😤 He pulled, pushed, and threw a fit trying to follow his buddy! I tried lunging to redirect his energy, but no dice—his focus was glued to Licorice, not me. So, I decided it was time for the patience panel! 🎉 Oh boy, did this fiery pony put on a performance—pawing, dancing, the works! 💃

I wanted to try something new to shape his behavior, so I tested a body language approach: when Tonto acted out (pawing or pushing), I’d step away, creating more space between us. When he calmed down or stood still, I’d move closer, rewarding his good behavior with my presence. 🌟 I had him tied up for about 7-10 minutes (always right there watching to keep him safe in case he got too wild 🛡️), and let me tell you, adding my voice to the mix was a game-changer! 🗣️ The first time I corrected him vocally, he kept pawing like it was his job. The second time, he started to ease up. By the third correction? He stopped almost immediately and stood there, eyes locked on me, even as I walked closer! 😍

That, my friends, is a HUGE win for Team Tonto! 🏆 Feeling hopeful about our progress and excited to keep working with this spicy little pony. Check out the video (under 5 mins) to see our patience panel session in action! 🎥

🐴 Tonto’s farrier appt is Monday, but ‘til then, I’m keeping that right fetlock protected with some awesome Tough1 sport boots for minis! 😍 These boots are literally the size of my hand—so tiny compared to Sammy’s giant gear! Too cute! 🥰 Tonto did his adorable high leg lifts at first but quickly got comfy, even giving a big sigh and lip lick—think he loves ‘em! 😊 Clients kept us busy, and with St. George hitting peak heat 🔥, the boys only got a couple hours of turnout today. Still, they had a blast! Tonto was sweaty under his wraps, so perfect timing to take ‘em off. 🧼 Worked on his hoof handling too—he’s a bit unsure, reminds me of Licorice back in the day. Had to physically lift his hoof, just like with Licorice at first. Now Licorice lifts his hooves like a pro when I lean over to clean! 🏆 Hoping Tonto catches on fast. His hooves look long, but when you’re up close applying Rainmaker, it’s like WHOA, so much hoof! 😅 His fronts were a bit stubborn—he kept nosing me—but we worked through it. One day at a time, and this sweet boy is making progress! 💪 🐎💖

☀️ Whew, St George is bringing the HEAT as we head into our hottest time of year! 🥵 To help my boys, Tonto and Licorice, beat the high temps, I gave their manes a trim to keep their necks cool and breezy. As someone with long hair, I totally get how stifling it can be when your hair’s down in this weather! 😓 Tonto was a bit unsure about the haircut at first, but once I explained it’d help him stay comfy, he stood like a pro. ✂️ I opted for scissors instead of the shaver this time to test the waters, and he handled it like a champ! It’s not a perfect cut, but it’s definitely letting the air flow better on his neck, and he seems so much happier. 😎

There’s nothing like watching Tonto and Licorice gallop and play in open space—it’s how horses are meant to live! 🐎💨 Seeing them move so freely fills my heart, but it also makes me ache for horses stuck in small pens all day. 😔 Space is such a premium in St George, so I’m beyond grateful to lease this beautiful ~1/2 acre for them. It’s the perfect spot for now, and I’m crossing my fingers we’ll be able to buy it from the owners soon. 🙏 It’s amazing to give them room to just *be* horses.

My bond with Tonto and Licorice is pure magic. 🥰 Lic’s got that natural stallion dominance (he’s such a character!), but they’re sorting out their dynamic beautifully. No major hiccups so far! Tonto’s getting his hind wraps today to support his legs until his farrier appointment—his long toe rotates out when he moves, so I want to keep that fetlock supported for now. 🩹 Can’t wait to see him strutting comfortably again!

Seriously, how adorable are these two?! 😍 Every single time I catch a glimpse of them, my heart feels like it’s going to explode with love. 💖 They’re my everything!

🐎 Pumped to take my boys Tonto & Licorice up to the top lot for some adventure, but I’m a bit worried about the long walk for them! 😅 Ordered fetlock wraps with overnight shipping, but with the holiday, they’re stuck in transit until tomorrow. 📦 Lic is *dying* to charge up to the top, full of energy, but Tonto’s super bonded to his buddy, so he’s gotta wait for his hoof trim in about a week. 🐴 Decided to ease them into things with some round pen time to see how they’d handle it—20 minutes in, and both boys were *over it*, practically begging to head back inside for their feed (hilarious, since their hay pillows are never empty 😂). Got to grooming Lic, and man, he’s become an absolute *champ* at lifting his feet—couldn’t be prouder! 🏆 Tonto, on the other hand, wasn’t feeling it and refused to lift his hooves. I’m holding off pushing him until after his trim to avoid stressing his other legs. 🦵 After grooming, I got Lic settled back in his stall, but Tonto? Oh, he turned *extra* opinionated today! 😤 Guess we all have our moody moments. Kept it light, gave them both fly masks, and sprayed Tonto down for some bug protection. 🦟 Here’s to hoping they’re both ready for the top lot soon! 🌾
