Someone: horses aren't born mean
Maevus:
#monster maevus#had to make this after a guy at the barn said 'there aren't any mean horses' like no i would beg to differ#she certainly wasn't born nice#ngl part of it may have been due to the whole uh. abscessed belly button thing#it certainly didn't help#she kicked every person who entered her stall for like 2 months post surgery#but also if you stopped scratching her butt (or scratching her at all) she'd line you up and kick you#she gets sedated for the farrier for good reason#she made one vet say (when she was 2 years old) that they couldn't say red mares were the nastiest anymore#he also said if she got loose she was determined enough to survive#i do love her tho#she gets nicer every year thank god#although she gets worse to ride WHYYY#horses just like people have Personalities#sometimes those personalities are nasty#can't even walk up to the bitch without her pinning her ears in greeting#and GOD the nose wrinkles when its feeding time

Sometimes my mom does this thing where she'll grab me or my brother and hold us in a hug and fake wail "what happened?! What did you do with my baby?! Did you swallow my baby?! Give me back my baby!" and I never understood why and used to be irritated by it but now like.
I get it. I don't have human children, don't really want them, but I look at Maevus and I think- where did my baby go? Where did my little pissant filly go? What happened to my baby?
What happened to this little pistol who's kicks felt like lil love taps? She used to be so small and man-handleable!
Now she's a big, rideable working girl!!! 😩😭😭 What happened to my baby?!?!
#Kelp tracks#Monster Maevus#ALL THAT SAID I will take four year old Maevus over four month old (or four day old) Maevus any day#For one four day old Maevus was trying to die and four month old Maevus had no manners#The only way I'd take either of them is if Simon came with them. And if he did I'd be getting his kidneys ultrasounded monthly.#And two Maevus is a bit more cuddly (to me) now. She gave kisses as a baby but it was always the precursor to nibbling#Tho I do wonder if I could've fixed her underbite if I'd spoken to a different vet#The things I would do different... Put boots on her lil feet to protect them from sand.#Not necessarily things I regret but things I know now that might have helped her then#ANYWAY yeah. I love my little pissant asshole baby. She's my darling.#I need to get her feet done so she can go back to work.

Unlike Maevus, Malik can actually swim too. That was fun. Maevus has a tendency to swim like a submarine, or a hippo. In that she sinks and walks along the ground instead.

Went down to check on Maevus and she's either repentant for what she did yesterday or seeking comfort because she kept trying to cuddle up to me. I told my mom "she wants to snuggle because she's not feeling good, wonder where she gets that from" and she just rolled her eyes
#Kelp tracks#Monster Maevus#She's walking normally which is good. I was a little afraid she'd fractured her leg when she slipped on the concrete#But everything seems to be good. She's on stall arrest until Monday at least and she'll be getting bute until Tuesday#I really wanted to do some trails in the next few days since the weather is good but I guess not 😔#Might go snuggle more w my baby later

Please join me in roasting the little one for:
-getting into something (ants?) that have given her hives that have gotten worse for the past four days
-being a terrorist for the vet
-for whatever reason, Benadryl, Zyrtec, and dex do not work on her so we're trying a new antihistamine

If you think horses can't hold grudges, you're wrong.
Dani was getting her feet done this afternoon and the farrier was the guy who used to do Mae. For several reasons I needed to swap farriers, but one of them was that she had started to hate him for whatever reason and began requiring sedation (which I still do now, because she's become a bitch for her feet to be done much like she's a bitch to the vets). She'd try to kick, stomp, and bite him. It got to the point where even under sedation she would be trying to kick him- just, really bad. I was there for almost every appointment and I know he didn't like. Mistreat her. But she still just started to hate his guts.
He hasn't touched her feet in almost a year, hasn't even touched her, but good lord. Every time he got close to her stall today while he moved around Dani, Mae was sticking her head over the gate with her ears pinned trying to bite him. As soon as he walked away, she'd leave the gate as well. It was both hilarious and exhausting.
The fact that she's so opinionated is a severely double edged sword 🙃
#Kelp tracks#Monster Maevus#And ofc the last time she got her feet done by my farrier the sedation didn't work for some reason#So he ended up doing her feet while she was wide awake#And of COURSE she tolerated him and I was thinking I might be able to wean her off sedation with him#Only to find out he's moving to another state in August 🙃#I'm happy for him!! But now I have to find a new farrier who fits my schedule and tolerates imperfect horses

The pistol hasn’t been out for over a week, so since I’ve worked Malik twice this week I decided to take her out today. I saddled her up, hopped on, and took her to the round pen to let her work some steam off. Which is good, because she was being a pissant on the way there and then kicked the round pen twice to protest wearing the saddle bags with water bottles in them!
Once she had gotten the worst of her attitude out I hopped on again and did some reminder work in the round pen. Reminder for both her and me, because I was reminded that she backs up best from inconsistent pressure on the reins and reminding her that I can actually ride even though it’s been a while and it’s been inconsistent. I think my stirrups should’ve been longer but I dealt with them a lil short the whole ride. Opened the gate off her back and we left and headed out into the desert.
I think we ended up out there for an hour an a half, just walking. I haven’t been out in the desert on a horse for over a year and with Simon there was always anxiety about it. He was just so spooky and air-headed about being out that it was never fun. When I rode the trainer’s horses a couple years ago I didn’t feel at ease on them either- whether that was due to my time off from riding or what, I don’t know, but even though those horses are pretty much dead-head broke. I literally watched a guy get his foot stuck in the stirrup and fall on his face coming off of one and the horse never moved- and I still didn’t want to ride them.
But holy shit, there was no anxiety for me being on Mae’s back. And every time I get on her it always amazes me how comfortable I feel being on her back. Because I’ve been there for the worst showings of her attitude, I’ve been the target of it a couple times, and I am so very well aware of how she can be. But I don’t feel anxiety on her- whenever she starts acting up, I just feel irritated. I’m not afraid to get on her and do some stupid stuff. Hell, I got on her a few weeks back after she’d been off for a week- hopped on bareback, took her to an event at the association, and swung a rope off of her for the first time in just her halter. No saddle, no bridle- we did obstacles and swung ropes and she side passed to a quad to let me hop on and just. Did it.
It’s amazing how much I trust this little monster, honestly. But I think that it’s maybe because I’ve seen her at her worst moments that I trust her like I do. Somebody once said that she would kill me, but if anything this horse would be the one to save my ass when it came down to it. She’s an absolute bitch about things, but she’s my bitch and I love her very, very much.
She thought there was something hiding behind that rock. I let her stop and stare at it, and to my excitement she actually approached it on her own to examine it. I sat back in case she spooked at something but she sniffed it, stepped on it, and then walked past it on her own. She’s a brave little monster!
#kelp tracks#Monster Mae#monster maevus#literally the worst thing she did the entire time was try to break into a trot a handful of times#that was it. she was such an angel otherwise.#like she needs to work on moving off of leg so i'll probably need to put some small spurs on as a reminder#but she did so stinking well and i almost cried at how happy i was to be able to enjoy a trail ride#simon got anxious in the desert and turned into a dumbass which made ME anxious#and that one accident we had scared the shit out of me#but mae was just watchy and careful and even when she DID get anxious i just let her handle it how she needed to#and she got over it on her own#i can't wait to take her out again

when I die Maevus will speak at my funeral. She'll be reading an essay thats titled "all the times she pissed me off ps it wasn't me". It will feature some of our greatest hits such as: cleaning her belly button (that I didn't know was infected), allowing the vets to put needles in her neck (because fuck vaccines and sedation), sedating her to get her feet done (because fuck the farriers ig), daring to be the bigger horse over food (the discussions we've had over her food aggression...) and the cherry on top... All the times I checked her eye after she removed her fly mask during the night to make sure it's not getting gunked up. PS it wasn't her who killed me.
#kelp tracks#monster maevus#i love her she's wonderful she's just also a giant shithead#you'd never know when it comes to vets & the farrier that she's been touched and handled her WHOLE LIFE#she just says 'fuck you' to them specifically and i can ASSUME but like she's never been mistreated or mishandled#four year old ornery little shit

I love my stinky babies 💚💚 Mae's been intermittently under saddle/ridden since January, started at 3.5 years old- she'll be four May 1st. Malik will be 5 in October. I ponied the boy around just to do it with him since he's a nervous baby, and to get Mae used to ponying another horse. They both did super well 💚💚💚
#Kelp tracks#Monster Mae#Mister Malik#Malik is not yet rideable due to his anxiety and poor former training so he gets a lot of ground work#And just learning people and stuff above him is okay#Maevus has been handled since the day she was born and is a great little rock for Malik to lean on and learn from#As someone with riding anxiety I'm always impressed that I'm not afraid to get on Mae#I know her and how nasty she can be in the ground but I have such faith in her on her back#I love these two so dearly but I genuinely feel like a single parent with them#I wouldn't have Malik if Simon was still alive but god I miss my man
