Training with Fabio: Building Confidence Around Balloons 🎈🐴

Every horse learns at their own pace. Today I introduced Fabio to a simple balloon obstacle designed to help build his confidence.
We take it slowly, let him investigate, and use positive reinforcement as he learns that the balloons are nothing to worry about. 🎈🐴

My horse Fabio really wanted a kiss from Cleo the cat.

Fabio: “please kiss me Cleo” At first she wasn’t interested and brushed him off—but then she surprised me by kissing him back. They make me smile every day.

Fabio’s lasso trick went well… but my hat was apparently fair game. ⭐

Being named Fabio apparently comes with very specific grooming requirements

[homemade] Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cake)

One thing I’ve learned as a baker is that you can’t judge a cake by a photo alone. The biggest improvement to this Black Forest Cake isn’t something you can see. Switching to a high-quality Dutch-process cocoa transformed the chocolate sponge and created a better balance with the cherries and whipped cream.

Fabio the cowboy forgot the lasso and went for my hat instead.
