A universal tale, as old as time.

It latently occurred to me that I should have washed him and THEN gone on hot girl walk 🤔 oh well, there’ll be more baths before his clip. And I did manage to get quite a bit of hair off him during that bath 🙏🏻

Giving Tourn agency has changed our relationship in remarkable ways.

He used to get annoyed just seeing me.

At a minimum, he’d walk half way up the paddock to make a point when I tried to catch him. At worst, it’d be a long, frustrating game of chase.

He stayed away from me when I’d sit in the paddock.

He only wanted to know me when I had his feed.

Since respecting his no for a couple weeks when he didn’t want to be caught, being R+ and tying in the rehab walks; we’ve never been closer.

He’s always at the gate. He wants his halter on. He actively seeks me out if I’m chilling out in the paddock. This week I’ve been grooming him at liberty. He’s keen to go on his walks.

I’d choose this approach again, and again. I wish I’d made the change sooner.

This is the safest way to rug. You start from behind. If you lose the horse, the rug goes off backwards, rather than swinging under their legs from the front.

No, I’m not entertaining your alternate view either 🫡

Every fu***ng day there are people leaving winter rugs on horses in warm weather.

My brothers in Christ, do better. If you can’t get there to take them off just don’t put them on.

Why do some of y’all hate horses.

I wish I was joking when I say I saw people supporting this and saying bizarre things like ‘they eat all day, why would I need to feed them hay before work?’

…

🤷🏻‍♀️ guess protecting their digestive tract and overall health and wellbeing isn’t for everyone.

I find this content that exists purely to 💩 on other members of the horse community pretty fu***ng hilarious tbh. Like this thinly veiled attempt at bullying for clicks? Comedy gold.

That’s why the only reply I can give is funny.

Are we not tired of equestrians bullying each other and creating pile ons over nothing? We could enact so much positive change for horses; but people with platforms do… whatever the f**k this is.

And to circle back to the OG video being “reacted” to; for better or worse this is how my industry experience has taught me.

Save and share to help a horse. Or their human 🫡

Gentle reminder to be situationally aware if you see a horse being hand walked or ridden on a road and you’re in a vehicle. Or making a lot of mechanical noise around that vehicle.

I understand that this is the nature of being out and about with a horse. But it is equally frustrating when a group of people are standing around watching your horse getting bouncy with his eyes popping out of his head because of idling trucks. And then they don’t even wait for the horse to be any distance up the road before they start making more sudden and startling sounds.

Tourn is pretty traffic savvy. We’ve shared narrow driveways with vehicles, trucks have blown past us at 60km/h on back streets. He’s been on and off transport trucks. He raced.

We get off the road when traffic approaches us. And 95% of people are awesome. They wait or pass slowly.

But holy f**k, an amped up horse is impossible to miss. We are allowed to be out there too. We all have a part to play in road safety.

Spring is coming… and you know what that means; shedding szn!

If you haven’t clipped over winter, your horsey pal is probably starting to get itchy with the warming weather. Help them out with regular grooming.

Hair gets shifted, relationship with your horse improves. Win win

Mares and fillies need maintenance too 😉
