She gets offended when I make her listen to me, but we're still buds. She gets excited to see me because she knows I take her outside to graze when I'm there lol

That's so cool. Is horse-sitting your passtime/hobby/job?

I volunteer at a stables a few times a week for funsies.

I see. Is it more because or the horses, or the people there? Or is it to relax?

I adore horses. Had them for most of my childhood. I wanted to get back into it because I knew it'd be good for my mental health. I'm doing this 100% for my own sanity lol. I work a high stress job, so hanging out with the horses is the ultimate way for me to relax. The people are cool, too. I don't know many of them yet, though.

It is! I also get riding lessons on a different horse when funds allow the luxury expense.
