The Mirror
I see you wondering if your horse would be better off with someone a little more handy. I see you feeling like you're not small enough, skinny enough, sharp enough, handy enough. I see you feeling like you have no idea what you're doing. I see you tired, I see you overwhelmed. I see you thinking about how much you'd ask for your horse. I see you thinking of how someone could do so much better than you're doing. I see pricing out training so you could really see what she's made of. I see you nervous, I see you worried about failing. I see you fearing that you will actually suck as bad as you think you might. I see you wondering what the girls at the fence are saying. I see you wondering if they would do better. I see you fearing that you won't do your horse justice. I see you questioning whether you're cowgirl enough.

But I also see that you're smart. You are wise. I see you're more talented than you give yourself credit for. I see your athleticism and I see your focus. I see your determination. I see your horse sense. I see your ability to ask for help and I see your open mind. I see that you know that what others say has nothing to do with you. I see you growing. I see your unlimited potential. I see the kindness and compassion you have for your horse. I see that you have what it takes. I see that you have all the knowledge you need in your heart. I see you're deserving of seeing this one through yourself, and I see that your time has come. You are enough.

Another weekend doing what we enjoy! A 29 second run with Axle to win 3rd in the 8 class, and the limited open on him aswell is a pretty great way to spend Saturday! And Atlas our "young" guy is really starting to get confident while penning!

Brad started his Penning season in April! Starting off slow at the first show, but he seemed to have figured something out with his team managing to win the open/ limited open class! Hopefully we can get some videos at the next show!

Sorry we have been so MIA! From adding a new family member to coming into spring and trying to get some projects started and completed, moving horses to different pastures and trying to haul horses to compete life has been a bit crazy! We are hoping to get back to posting on a regular basis!

Give horses a break from the arena! They get bored of doing the same thing over and over give them something different to do every once in a while

5 Reasons why long grass is better than short grass for horses.

1. Generally the further up the stalk the horse eats, each cell of the plant has a higher fibre/sugar ratio.
2. Eating longer grass means the horse has to chew more, slowing the intake while increasing the essential flow of saliva. The saliva helps to buffer the stomach acid.
3. A healthy horse eats until they have a specific volume of fibre in their stomach before stopping. So eating short grass with a high-sugar and low fibre ratio means a horse consumes a lot of high-sugar grass before enough fibre is ingested to trigger that 'full enough' feeling and finish their grazing bout.
We should focus on increasing our pastures' fibre content, which will reduce the NSC intake.
4. Short grass is usually stressed grass, constantly trying to recover/grow. Therefore it will store/hang on to a lot of Non-Structural Carbohydrates (NSCs) (sugars/starches) in preparation for when growing conditions improve.
5. Long grass creates a longer root system, improving both the health of the grass, the soil biome and it follows the health of the horse.
