A very informal (and long but it’s a good read I promise) post to announce the arrival of my new equine baby boy: Ace! I also want to acknowledge up front that I cannot write this post without appreciating the insane privilege I have to be able to experience any of this hobby let alone the process of bringing home a horse. • Since April of 2024 I have been hunting for a new partner, a perfect fit to meet me where I am and carry me to where I want to be (competing at 1m eventually??). That job is hard. Hell, it felt endless. But the immaculate @cellardoorequestrian did what she does best; she said hey let’s just go to Florida, ride like 40 horses in less than 72 hours, and find your new match. And fuck, y’all, we did. After my trial ride with Ace— mere HOURS before we boarded a plane to go back home— I sat on his back and cried. I sobbed because I knew he was it. He is a sweetheart, so smart, and is everything I was looking for. I had around 20 potential names drawn up after narrowing it down from WAY too many; I put together every mix of fictional characters/Taylor Swift songs/mythology references you can think of. Right before heading to Florida, I was pretty sure I’d be changing his show name to “Thousand Sunny” after the ship from One Piece, but the barn name had to come from him. I looked in his eyes after our ride, and he was Ace. Portgas D. Ace from One Piece, specifically (photo in the last slide drawn by the manga’s creator for those who don’t watch anime). He had many many chances to be a mix of things I love— a potential barn name was Gryphon which is also very cool— but One Piece won two for two! Anyway, I am home from the barn after staring at him for 6 hours straight and I just broke down crying. Happy tears. Tears of disbelief. I have a reason to smile when so much has been so painful. It doesn’t feel real, but I am so happy it is.

If you know me, you know I’ve always toyed with changing professions entirely every year for over a decade; I would be bold enough to call myself a damn good chef but I am not strong enough for that job. You know who is? 🩵🖤 BLACK LEG SANJI FROM ONE PIECE. 🖤🩵 It is no secret that he is my favorite character (along with Law) and there are too many reasons to list why I love, empathize with, and relate to Sanji in some aspects of his life. So in his honor I made the first dish we ever saw him cook in One Piece— Seafood Risotto— and it came out fucking GREAT. Anyway, happy birthday to a fictional pirate because that is a normal thing to do yes I am very normal and mentally stable.
My first week with Ace has been incredible beyond words. I’m genuinely still in denial he’s mine because I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve such an intelligent and loving partner. Everyone in the barn loves him, my trainers love him, and I already would fight hordes of enemies barehanded for him— I will go full fucking John Wick. Some friends have told me they can see how happy I am just through the pictures alone and it’s true! I haven’t been this happy since I discovered fictional Ace when I started watching One Piece. Anyway, idk what else to say other than I love this horse and my sanity now relies on a four legged 1200 lb doofus with one beautiful braincell. I wouldn’t have it any other way 🔥🤍

Today is the start of Black History Month— but only for some, not for all. Purposely and gleefully dismissing history, especially about the horrors people of this world have gone through, is just fucked. This is all just so fucked. I’m posting a pretty picture in the hopes people will read the caption. It’s nothing deep or prolific, it’s just a black girl’s response to all this goddamn bullshit poisoning our future. We didn’t do all this work for nothing. Fuck. As always with my black history month posts, comments are off. Lol. As always. How sad is that.
