I am so proud of this little mare and extraordinarily thankful for everything Maggie Davidson (@davidsonm711 ) has done with Blue!!
She is an entirely different horse(in the best way possible) than I had last semester. Maggie has taught her so much and I can’t fully explain how happy I am that Maggie was assigned to her this semester!
Last weekend Maggie showed Blue in the UF ranch team show for me. They placed 4th in the ranchmanship!
I even got to ride Blue in the rail classes (though we didn’t place cause I really dropped the ball as a rider 😅 but that’s what happens when you haven’t ridden since finals last semester).
As long as everything continues to go as planned, Blue will be back at UF for Maggie next semester and I can’t wait to see how great they do!
Feb 10, 2024 versus June 15, 2024.
Talk about a glow-up 😍

I’m having such a good time with these pictures of RE This Cats Smokin! I’m glad we decided to video the process as well.

Another Jack lope comparison… I just can’t help myself 😂 June 2023 vs Jan 2024.
We still have a long way to go, but I’m always amazed by how far we have come!

Day in the life- Tuesday 1/16/24.
Woke up to a real feel of -3°(f) and snow. I got to the barn and fed for class. Worked my unbroke. Cleaned 3 stalls. Went back to campus to work on schoolwork(and get snuggles from my cat 😂). Went back to the barn to ride Jack. Worked my water shift. Fed Jack. Went back to campus and did some more schoolwork before going to bed.

Day in the life- Sunday 1/14/24 and Monday 1/15/24.
This post is a little different. We didn’t have class Monday 1/15/24 because it was MLK Day. So I picked up a Sunday PM security shift at the barns. 5-9 pm at the Western barn, then 9:30-5:30 am at the English barn. Because of this, I slept in Sunday morning. I went out to the barn early enough to work Jack before my first shift. Here’s how those days went:
Sunday- wake up around noon. Slowly get ready and do some schoolwork. Get Dominoes so I have food during my shifts. Get to the barn around 3 pm. Worked Jack, And generally goofed off until 5. Start my first shift(5-9). Go to the English barn and work my second shift(9:30-5:30). Got some schoolwork done between security rounds. Got back to the dorm around 6 am and went to bed. Woke up around 4 pm and went back out to the barn to work with Jack. Did a water shift(7-9 pm). Came back to the dorms and went to bed.

Quick highlights from Friday 1-12-24. I think it will be fun to have a little window into the basics of what my day-to-day looks like at school. I think I’ll do another full week of these now, then do a few random days through the semester.
I got up around 6 am. Ate breakfast. Fed for class. Did some general barn cleanup as part of class. Worked my unbroke. Cleaned 1 stall. Went back to campus for lunch. Laid down with Grey. Went to my Repro lecture. Went back to the barn to work Jack and clean 2 stalls. Gave Jack a bath. Watered the barn. Had a pizza party with some friends. Then went to bed.

Quick highlights from Monday 1-8-24! I was going to do all week in one video, but there’s a cap on how many clips I can add and I was already over that number and it is just Wednesday 😅 So now my plan has changed and I’ll do daily. I’m not sure how long I’m gonna keep this up, but I think it will be fun to have a little window into the basics of what my day-to-day looks like at school.
I got up around 5 am. Went to Dunkin for breakfast. Cleaned 3 stalls. Fed for class. Did some general barn cleanup as part of class. Rode Jack before lunch. Played with Grey before class, then went to Equine Reproduction and Equine Preventative Medicine class. I was able to have an early night and rest up for the next day!
