Neigh! That’s the sound a horse makes in America. It’s also a sound heard often on Kim Kardashian’s gargantuan Wyoming ranch, considering the former criminal justice “activist” slash land baroness slash chaos merchant acquired 14 Friesian horses for… well… who really knows why she has 14 horses!
Big news for a Tuesday: Somewhere, Kardashian heiress North West is clip-clopping around her parents’ ranch on a horse with more bundles in its hair than Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie, and Kris kombined. On Twitter yesterday, we non-ranch owners were given just a peek of a brooding and nameless stallion. Pretty! There are 13 more of them.
For what it’s worth, ol’ Kimmie seems to be doing the correct thing, which means: growing to fit your children’s rapidly changing needs and interests. It’s just that, where this would normally mean “stepping on more Legos than you would like,” for oligarchical families like the Kardashians, that apparently equates to “buying 14 horses.” North is very into yee haw aesthetics right now! For her seventh birthday, Kim flew her friends out to ride go-carts, pet horses, stomp around in boots, and eat some delicious cowgirl-hat-shaped cake. That’s nice!
There is possibly a scenario where bragging about the 14 horses you own at your coincidentally priced $14 million ranch (is there some numerology thing going on?) exemplifies Kim’s general inability to “read the room.” But look! She did a nice thing for her kid. That must mean something, although I couldn’t possibly tell you what it is.
