☀️ Summer struggles: when it’s boiling hot AND the flies have a personal vendetta against you. 🪰

Our horses have officially entered fly survival mode—which means rocking their ultra-fashionable fly masks and perfecting their dramatic head tosses every time a fly dares to get too close.

Sure, it may look like they’re about to rob a bank, but in reality, they’re just trying to enjoy a peaceful walk without getting a face full of buzzing nuisances.

Send thoughts, prayers, and maybe a gentle pat of sympathy next time you see them. They’re fighting battles we’ll never understand. 🐴🔥💦

When the weather takes a turn and the office becomes a sanctuary… for everyone. ☔🐔 Sarah’s new ‘assistant’ insists on being on top of things—literally. Who needs a desk buddy when you have a chicken on your head? 🤷‍♀️😂
