This boy... I went out to feed last night and couldn’t find him. I had let the horses out of their paddock for a couple of hours because they love to roam and play on the whole property when they’re allowed (and we’re home for reasons such as these.) So, Rowdy was missing. At feed time. Highly unusual. I called his name and started searching around, and I finally spotted him. He was in the very corner of the property and was pawing the ground in frustration. He was stuck. His exploration had taken him into a web of vines that he somehow managed to get wrapped under his chest, between his legs, across his body, and being the good boy that he is, he just froze. He didn’t panic, didn’t do anything stupid that could have hurt himself further. He just stood waiting patiently for me to bail him out for God knows how long. So, 21 weeks pregnant and all me, climbed through limbs and vines to start unraveling our boy (gracefully until my hair bun got tangled in a branch and got me stuck for a minute). He stood there perfectly calm as I lifted hooves and pulled and broke vines. When he was freed, I asked him to follow me, and midway through my climbing out of this area, I had the thought that he might bulldoze me over in excitement on his escape to freedom. But, Rowdy did the exact opposite. He waited until I was clear out of the brush and turned around. Then he slowly and calmly followed. He was the perfect gentlemen and thoroughly enjoyed his dinner last night. It was a true moment of trust on both of our parts, one that I didn’t have to be in the saddle to experience. It was one of those moments that makes you appreciate the nobility of the horse. 🎩 +++ #horsestories #horse #missourifoxtrotter #painthorse #homesteading #homesteadinglife #farmlife #farm #homestead #smallfarm #farmstead #urbanfarm #hobbyfarm #thehomesteadkings

A few people asked for the Beeswax Lotion recipe, so I’ve put it up on the blog for those interested! It’s shockingly easy to make. 🐝 [link in bio] +++ #homestead #blog #blogger #blogging #homesteading #crafts #diy #beeswaxlotion #beeswax #doityourself #homemade #homemadegifts #gifts #homesteadinglife #farm #farmsyead #smallfarm #urbanfarm #hobbyfarm #🐝 #thehomesteadkings

This innocent face... Spent a good 30 minutes this morning following this girl around trying to get a sample for the vet. She’s dropped near 15 lbs in a matter of weeks which she didn’t have to lose to begin with because she’s an extremely lean, fit dog. Husband followed her around with a flashlight last night for a sample. Then again this morning. We apparently made her potty-shy because she wasn’t having it. Finally, I had to pretend I was fiddling with something else, and she went. 🙄 We’re hoping her sample comes back showing some kind of parasite. If it doesn’t, we have to explore other options, specifically to her liver because her blood sample showed it was a little off. She’s constantly eating the other dogs’ poo so fingers crossed for parasites, and it can be easily remedied! 🤞🏻 +++ Just another normal day at the King house! Stalking our dog for a poo sample... 😆 What’d your morning look like? +++ Update: No parasites.... next step, x-rays. . . #maddiegirl #homestead #homesteading #homesteadlife #farmdog #thehomesteadkings
