tragically beautiful. I'm Saranda. Minnesota. My boyfriend's name is Evan and he's in the Military. I find happiness in horses, the US Military, and the sky.
Here's my Twitter!
Remember, be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.


Daisypath Anniversary tickers

his body is ready 
sexy
My horse is cute.

I think one of the major reasons I love riding and having my own horse is that I gain control out of it. I gain security, peace, and comfort from it and the control. I’m the type of person that needs control to feel safe and comforted and my horse provides that for me. That’s why I rely on my horse so much, he’ll always be there for me. He’s my center piece; he’s the only secure control in my life.  

Anonymous: Updates on Diablo and Moose? You never post about them anymore 

Sorry! 

Diablo and I have a lesson set up this week! In the words of my trainer: “I have a lesson all planned out for the two of you - see if he has any jumping potential!” Should be interesting and I hope it goes really well! He’s been doing really well under saddle and he’s gaining back his muscle and his weight :) I’m so so happy about it. I’ve been looking into some schooling shows and trying to decide which ones to take him to and whatnot. I have lots of hope for us! :) we like to play tag in the arena and we go for jogs/runs down the dirt roads together, haha. I mean.. I basically sprint while he only trots. He’s such a sweetheart and I’m glad he’s mine.

I haven’t been able to ride Moose in a while but I’ll be seeing him this week and probably will end up riding him. And I’m most likely riding him in the Hunts this year if he hasn’t been sold or leased out by then. 

My trainer wants me to hunt Diablo this year, which could end up being the death of me hahaha. 

Anyways, Diablo is doing really well! He got his dewormer all over the side of his muzzle today and all over my hands. He seemed satisfied with himself. 

Now that my classes are basically over except for one more final, I should be able to update more about all the horses instead of coming home from the barn and going to bed right away. 

I am so in love with my horse. 
herp a derp 
I spent an hour grooming Diablo and then we went for a jog together over the hills and then we played around in the arena. Aka I sprinted while he only trotted. Such big strides. 
This was taken right before I prettied him up ~ 
Stop being so cute.
Don’t give me that look, mister.
Jobe loves Diablo :3 
It’s Diablo’s birthday today. He’s the best thing to ever happen to me. 
I love his little quirks.
I love him even though he likes to roll in mud and cover himself in it. I love him despite THE VET BILLS HE’S POUNDED ME WITH. :P I love him even though he can be stubborn. I love him even though he’s really spooky on trails. I love him even though he forces me to water down his grain every single time he eats. 
 I love the way he pushes his hay cubes around his grain and saves them for last, and you can tell the way he savors them. I love the way he throws his head up right when he sees/hears me and he instantly nickers. I love the way he always looks for my approval and how closely he pays attention to me. I love the way he rushes to me. I love the way he whinnies to me every time I pop around the corner. I love the way he puts his heart into our workouts. I come to his rescue, and he comes to mine. I love the way he looks at me and I love the way he nudges me. I love the way he lays his head in my lap when I’m sitting in his stall. I love the way he lays and he trusts me to sit up against him when he lays down. I love the way he saves my ass when I lose a stirrup.. but won’t save anyone else when they’re riding him and they lost a stirrup lol.. I love the ways he shows affection. I love the way he loves Evan. I love the way he looks at me with those big brown eyes. I love the way he rests up against me. I love the way he’ll ignore his food just to come up to me and stay with me for a while. I love the way he follows me. I love the way he plays tag with me in the paddock. I love his long, graceful strides when we’re galloping. I love the way he eats up the ground and I get lost in our own world when we ride. I love everything about him.
I love every little thing about him. All of his flaws. He’s who saves me every single day. He depends on me, and I definitely depend on him. I wouldn’t give him up for the world. 
I can’t wait to see how many achievements we’ll achieve this year, and I can’t wait to go as far as we can go. 
Happy birthday, big guy. I owe you so much. 
He’s going to be a fun show horse…

Say hello to my woolly mammoth horse. 
Y’know, sometimes Minnesotan winters are a blessing. Your riding becomes scarce and you’re forced to halt with your riding activities. The break gives you time to regroup with your horse and relax with him. So many people get caught up in their riding and forget the little details about their horses because they’re blinded by the little details that they need to focus on and fix about their riding. Like it or not, it happens to all of us. Don’t try to deny it. 
Every night, I go out and sit in Diablo’s stall while he eats and I notice all the little tiny details about him. I’ve only had Diablo for about 7 months and it’s crazy how much I still don’t know about him and I absolutely love figuring everything out about him. I love the way he pushes his hay cubes around his grain and saves them for last and you can tell the way he savors them. I love the way he throws his head up right when he sees/hears me and he instantly nickers. I love the way he always looks for my approval and how closely he pays attention to me. I come to his rescue, and he comes to mine. I love the way he looks at me and I love the way he nudges me. I love the way he lays his head in my lap when I’m sitting in his stall. I love the way he lays and he trusts me to sit up against him when he lays down. 
I love the way he depends on me.. And I’m so grateful, because I wholeheartedly depend on him, too.

My horse kisses me back.
Ugh I love him.

And whenever I hug Diablo, he knows the perfect amount of time to stay still; he knows when I really need it. Then after the hug, he’ll nudge me and then resume what he was doing before.
