I realize it’s the first of the month, so board/training fees due. NBD. Done, paid.
Oh right, farrier came too, here you go- paid.
Realize I am almost out of Pentosan, kinda annoying timing but no problem, order more.
Husband starts to talk about spending money on various house projects.
Decide that I FINALLY need to transfer Rio to my ownership with USEF and go through the name change process. He also needs a USHJA membership ($195 total). I already did all of this in the fall with the Hanoverian society (which was $150ish). I also need to renew my membership with USEF/USHJA ($140). Crap.
Have a horse show in a week. Entry fees will need to be paid. Thankfully it’s a local show.
I may need to cut spending everywhere else, but at least Rio will live like a king. (That’s what I tell myself…)
Anyone else feeling the #AdultAmmyWoes lately?!? Tell me I’m not the only one!! Misery loves company after all!

I think it’s the time of year for financial stress. I have just survived income tax time and that is always a tough one. Anyway thanks for the follow and I look forward to seeing more of your horse adventures here!
You are absolutely right! Tax season was a definite struggle too ?
Ugh. I’m right there with you. I really need, well more like want, so much tack and clothing for my first show but I have a teeny tiny budget that basically covers nothing. It’s hard to buy a half pad when the kiddo needed a whole new summer wardrobe. Bye bye half pad dreams. Hellos size 5T shorts and t shirts. Some day I may have money. Some day.
OH man! I can’t even imagine horses with a young kiddo as well- must be so challenging with horses and kids constantly fighting for that paycheck lol!
This could have been written about my life.
Yes! I’m not the only one feeling incredibly horse poor these days ?. Welcome to the ‘horse poor and loving it’ party!!
Relating SO HARD. Living that cup o’ noodles life so Frankie can live like a prince haha
Feel ya!
OMG 100%. I always wonder how I get through show season and still pay for gas….
Riggtttt! Like it’s amazing some days. Sometimes I stop and wonder if I’m being incredibly irresponsible with money, but then I think about how miserable I would be without horses, and I have definitely decided it’s well worth it!
UGH. Spring is like that — gotta renew your memberships, get spring vaccines, start planning for show season… it hurts! Haha
So true! I forgot to mention spring vxs on there as well ??
Hi! First time reader, I just recently did all this with my Hanoverian too (I couldn’t stomach the pictures in the top couple posts since i just ate so decided to scroll down to something easier to comment on). Looking forward to reading more!
Welcome to the blog fellow Hanoverian lover! I don’t blame you at all for not wanting comment on my recent posts- I swear this blog is usually more rainbows and butterflies! Do you get the American hanoverian society magazine too? I actually quite like it!
Yes I do get the Magazine, its fun to read! Lovely pictures too.
