Lots of good news - a Gator will be coming into your life to make things easier soon; it looks like Ziggy will be staying (yay!); Tiny stays nice and warm in cold weather; Nigel is using his tent; a new horse might be coming soon; and Huckleberry is so smart to tell you he is too cold to stay outside anymore. Yes, your life is not for everyone. I think it is wonderful! I used to have a job (feeding, grooming, walking, grazing, lunging, training sometimes, trimming goat and sheep hooves, clipping, and bathing them - yes, I washed the sheep with Woolite! ) taking care of a llama, a sheep, 2 Pygmy goats, a miniature donkey, and 1-3 ponies/mini horses. My husband came to work with me one day. His summary of my job was - “This is soooo boring. How can you do this job 4 days a week??!!?”. I was deliriously happy, and it was my best job ever!

[@janmarchand7294]

If you love horses, it doesn't feel like work at all. I used to get up at 4 in the morning to take care of my own three. I personally loved everything about it, riding in the early morning and all the barn's different aromas. Someone once asked me why I was willing to do all that work, and I just said, because that's me, it's who I am. My brother had a horse, and he would sometimes put him in the backyard of our house. and I can remember going outside as a toddler and walking between his legs, or patting his belly. Prince was careful of where I was evidently because I was never hurt. But that's the very first moment of bonding with a horse I suppose, and they've had my heart ever since. You do such a great job with yours, and work hard to properly maintain them, and if that's not love, I don't know what is.❤

[@april5666]

I love your life, snow and all (winter is my favorite season, as I run pretty hot). Scarlett cracks me up only putting her head in her stall so she can eat her hay. Maybe we'll see her use it when it gets really cold, snowy and blowy :) I love so many things about what you do. Today's favorite is how accommodating you are toward each lucky, lucky horse in your herd. If Scarlett wants to stay outside, you fix it so she can. Nigel hates coming in, so you've rigged him a shelter outside. Horses like everyone else are not one-size-fits-all. Your in-tuness with them and finding ways to make each of them happy are wonderful. I often want to call your herd The Herd of Misfit Horses, but am concerned some people might think I was being insulting when I love how individual they all are, have had some bad starts in life, and have landed in the best place in the world for misunderstood horses. Thank you for all that you do for them and letting us tag along, CC.

Greetings from sunny warm Charleston, SC! Actually, I am in Ravenel, 20 minutes South of Charleston. I've been watching you for a while and from a fellow horseman, I really enjoy your channel. I am 67 years old and retired with one Arabian mare that is 24 years old. She was rescued from a meat market. She is gorgeous and loves life and I cannot imagine her getting killed for meat!!!!! I have a lifetime of experience with horses,, showing, training, and giving lessons. Arabians in particular. I love seeing Ziggy in your herd of quarter horses.

You’d voiced your hope that people found inspiration in your videos for horse rehab. I originally started to watch your channel because I enjoy Horse Shenanigans, but I now primarily watch for ideas of things to do with the horse I’m currently rehabbing, Erik. While we don’t know Erik’s full history, what we do know is …. let’s say “very not good.” I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from how you’ve taken horses who have been trained using bad training methods and restarted them, reteaching them things with proper training methods (e.g. Pete. We are huge Pete fans in this house). It’s also helpful that you show your process, to include the “boring” parts or the parts that other people criticize as "ridiculous." (They are not boring or ridiculous, btw). It’s good to see that some horses might need to take a break to calm down, or that some horses might need to approach a “routine” thing in a different way. It’s been a great way to keep in my mind to step back, ask “what is the real issue here?” and “what can I modify to make this less scary?” When people ask me whose “method” I use to train my horses, I give them my resource list. Your channel is on it.
