just how sound is he?

Lol.... Sound enough to just cruise right on by and escort his own self back to the barn for dinner, apparently!

his face tho omg

There's nothing Charlie likes more than exercising his independent streak. Like how he always lets me know which route he'd prefer to take back to the barn after our rides.

"Ahem, let's take the lane by the goats and sheep and Shetlands plz" is his standard, unmistakable request.

watch out, yo, we got a dad bod on the move!

Or like how he'll always reliably find his own way back to the barn if need be. Bc let's be real, going back to the barn is literally Charlie's favorite thing in the whole world, hands down. This horse has a built-in GPS that operates in even the most remote, signal-less areas lol.

Which I gotta admit is handy on the trails.... Considering since winter time they've all been less traveled, and now with the lack of use plus lush spring greenery I can't tell my way around for shit and keep getting lost....

he thinks he's the actual sassiest 

Tho I also do admit to a degree of chagrin when I happened to arrive at the same time as the PM feeders, and told them to just send Charlie up out of the field. That I'd grab him on his way up. Haha. Hahaha.

Homeboy took one look at me and was like, "Nope, I got this, lady. See your own way back!"

Touche, Sir. Touche. It's hard to argue when he looks so freakin pleased with himself haha. Plus, ya know. He's easy to find ;)

In the meantime, TGIF everyone, hope you all have a great weekend! Perhaps filled with horses equally as independent and single-minded LOL....
