Although They Would Probably Know But Shh Its Fun To Think About - Blog Posts

I like to think post Amphibia, Anne started to get into horse back riding. Like would go to those horseback riding summer camps at first and then ended up volunteering at a stable because she wanted to be able to get a taste of what it was like to be back on the Plantars Farm. I think she misses Bessie and I think the way she copes with that is getting involved with horses.

I don't often see it addressed how important Bessie was to Anne, more just the acknowledgement of how important the Plantars are. We see in Marcy's Journal that when Anne gets back to Amphibia in Season 3b she straight up sits down and rereads Bessie's entire manual. Bessie is a really good signifier of Anne's growth and we see repeatedly how much connection to animals is like an important part of Anne's growth as a person.

I think Anne needs to be able to get away from the city occasionally, I think Anne needs those moments away from LA again. Time to think. Time to be herself. Time to reflect on who she is. Working with horses can be an incredibly therapeutic thing, and genuinely I think it would help with Anne's mental health. It's hard to be worried about being next in line to be God when a horse is trying to steal a rake out of your hand.

Also the volunteer hours would look great on her college application
