Wrangler Jayne's Horsemanship with Heart

With my new sweet friend at the brumby clinic

For years, I have been writing letters, signing petitions, attending protests, spreading the word about the terrible plight of Australia's wild horses - along with others - who have done so much more than me. And despite all this plus the court cases, the support of humane MPs, and the promises made by Parks and other government departments, the carnage goes on. It's incomprehensible. The facts do not add up to justify the murder of these horses. Sadly, their plight hasn't hit 'mainstream' yet - so tell people! There is strength in numbers. Eventually they won't be able to get away with it without a public uproar. Speak up for those who have no voice, it's the least we can do.

We don't have snow like this where we live, though how magnificent to frolic on a clear day like this in the white wonderland! It's a far cry from horses standing around in multiple rugs - I love the horses rolling in the snow - it's important to get rugs off (if you use them) as often as possible!

'Conversations' with your horse - using silence, body language, heartfelt intent - and, focus, feel, timing. It's a learned art

I mention it a lot, though Play is Very Important to your horse! It's one of their Essential Needs! Don't underestimate the power of play and how it helps balance your horse's emotional and mental well-being. Horses will engage and play with you, when you learn how! And the most obvious natural way to offer them a life where play is a daily event? Give them friends! In the same paddock! Playing over the fence is not the same thing, and might even result in fence injuries ...

To those of us who truly love them, the Essence of them - horses are both magical and beautiful and one of nature's most exquisite creations

Helping your horses understand that standing still is ok while you handle and trim their hooves is basic handling! I never tie to trim

Good one for right now! Never lose sight of what's important and don't just think about it, DO It!

I stopped in the middle of chores today to go out and lay down in the snow next to my horse.

Now, this may not seem like post-worthy news, but over the last two years, I was working so much with other people’s horses…and never spending time with my own.

I was too tired. Too busy. Too ________. I was riddled with excuses and reasons why it could wait until tomorrow. And so, even if I saw a horse of mine enjoying a nap or waiting by the fence for me, I’d mindlessly walk by and carry on with my to-do list.

And I know I’m not the only horse professional guilty of this.

I worked so much and so hard to help other people’s horses, and I started to lose sight of what it’s all about:

love for the horse.

love for MY HORSES.

They’re why I got into this in the first place. And they need to be the reason I keep going.

I’ve been prioritizing time with my own horses this year. I’ve been setting this intention to reconnect to the girl inside of me who couldn’t wait to get off work to get to the barn.

And today, in the middle of chores, that girl told me to put the truck in park, and hike across the pasture to lay down with my horse.

And so I did.

And guess what? The rest of the chores? The rest of the snow-filled morning trudging through drifts? The training sessions with other horses?

It all felt SO. GOOD.

Because my cup was full. Because I stopped to do something for me and my horse.

And so this is a reminder for all you horse professionals losing sight of the LOVE that made us choose this life, and for all you people who have a hard time prioritizing yourself and your needs amidst busy schedules and hectic days.

You’re so worth it. And so is your horse ❤️
