ONE real-life cowgirl has shared her struggle of maintaining her horse trailer home that she shares with six pets.
The tiny house dweller showed the not-so-glamorous side of inhabiting a small space.
"I live in a horse trailer with a dog, cat, three horses, and a bison and today I'm going to clean up my little depression nook," said Emmie Sperandeo (@steadyrein).
The self-proclaimed cowpoke, who was recovering from a traumatic brain injury and skull fractures, confided that it was time to start getting the space into shape.
"I've been super depressed, so everything's been messy and gross," she shared.
The animal lover who is now based in Montana, worked up a sweat as she explained how her air conditioning unit broke down during a heatwave in Arizona when it was 110 degrees.

She tried to keep cool while cleaning in her still-sweltering 85-degree trailer.
Emmie had decided to hold herself accountable by recording her putting things away process.
She admitted that she had let things pile up - and didn't have the luxury of closet space.
The cowgirl attributed her mess to the cramped quarters and was taking things one step at a time.

She had just a narrow spot where she was able to hang up clothes on hangers while shirts and pants were scrunched up in a space underneath.
"The whole getting super organized thing is going to have to wait cause right now we're just tidying up and that's a big enough job," she said.
Emmie vacuumed around the trailer, put laundry away, aired out her rugs outdoors, and scrubbed around the kitchen area.
While it didn't take her that long given the confined space, she explained that things still got messy rather quickly with half a dozen animals.
"I just want to show this part of my life because people glamorize this so much and honestly, living in a horse trailer is not for the faint of heart."
Though she still had some additional decluttering to get to - including in her tack room - the trailer was already much tidier.
The adventurer had found quite a few fans of both her and her unconventional home life.
"Happy to hear you are good - love your space," exclaimed one impressed follower.
Yet another viewer also had an encouraging comment to share: "Living in any trailer isn’t easy. Especially when it’s like 14-feet. I’m proud of you!"
With some cleaning accomplished, she was able to focus on more important things - like taking a walk with her dog and playing guitar while enjoying the sunset.
