Transformation of the sweetest little mini mare who started boarding at our place this April. She was having chronic bouts of laminitis due to being overweight and her owner was unable to separate her from her full size paddock mates. So she came here to live with two other minis who like to keep her moving; has had her feet trimmed a little at a time every 2-3 weeks; and went for walks/hikes with us as a family to help burn some extra calories. A neighbour down the street even took her for a few walks to help her out ❤️

Thank you Jessica Easson so much for taking on some of my clients while my broken finger heals. AND being game to learn glue-on shoes (whilst making a 7-year old super happy with ‘sparkle toes’)! The mare in the last picture was diagnosed with navicular last year and has been struggling with lameness on and off. Jessica applied glue-on shoes along with dental impression material for extra cushion and a week later, the owner is reports she is happy to have her horse back ❤️

Also a HUGE thanks to Schriber for taking on many of my other clients as I heal!

Sorry if this is too much for some, I find it fascinating. Also why I believe it’s so important to have a robust, healthy frog (which sits under the digital cushion) - not just for shock absorption, but blood flow too!

This was from a few weeks ago… but it still brings me such joy thinking of riding with these teenage girls, listening to their laughter, their chatter and taking time to pause with them and just ‘be’ with God in and with His amazing creation.

When a big guy (draft cross) steps on your rasp 😳 - at least it wasn’t my foot!

I think our newest boarder, Fly (bay Arab), is enjoying his new life on the track with a herd. Never gets old watching them run together ❤️

I find this so fascinating! Last time Sasha (Equuheart Integrated Bodywork) treated our gelding Brody, he was is this relaxed ‘dreamy’ state (even walking around his head was low, his steps were slow and his eyes were so soft and sleepy) for a good hour after the treatment.

So proud of my new boy, Teo. He’s had about 15 rides on him and he just takes everything in stride and so full of try ❤️. Back cinch was tight and would have been pulling and he couldn’t care less. This log was heavier than the one we did before this and he’d flip his head when he thought he couldn’t pull it, but tried anyways and succeeded in getting it to its destination. Turning Point Ranch breeds such sensible, athletic Arabians. My Aunt owns his full sister and she’s exactly the same.

I really love this little horse! He was sent to another trainer to get him going under saddle only to be sent back saying he was dangerous, unpredictable and the trainer wouldn’t ride him anymore. I’ve spent 16 hours with him and he is the sweetest, kindest little horse with so much try. Arabians are often so misunderstood as they are so sensitive and perceptive. My suspicion is that this guy just had too much pressure put on him and didn’t understand what was being asked of him and he just couldn’t handle it. This video is of this owner riding him the other day. He’s still got a ways to go when it comes to consistency of gait and finding relaxation in his gait quicker, but for a green broke horse, I’m pretty happy (and I think he is too!). And he’s definitely not a crazy unpredictable wingnut!

Oh man this guy is so fun to play with! This is my first time really playing with him at a liberty and he is SO keen. Judy Lestander and Tom Ryan have done all the ground work with him.

Taking some dressage lessons with Shamrock Wellness Services & Shamrock Equestrian. Cristina is an excellent and kind coach who knows her stuff ❤️ I still feel a bit of a fool without my western saddle 🤪 kept losing my stirrups! with my western pleasure and reining background, riding with constant contact feels so strange, yet it’s a constant conversation with the horse and I LOVE it!

I think Jada likes the track ❤️. Fence is up and horses are allowed on it. They’re not in it 24/7 yet as we still have to connect the electric… but soon!

Who says an old dog (or horse) can’t learn new tricks?! This is Egypt’s third ride under saddle (possibly ever). She is 19 years old! She was surrendered to a rescue after her elderly owner passed away. She was well looked after, but never really asked anything of her, her entire life. There’s a possibility that she was started under saddle when she was 2, but never ridden after that. Egypt will be available for sale in the near future and would make an excellent trail horse. She’s already gone through mud and water and had dogs running in and out of the bush with very little reaction or hesitancy. Naturally very laid back and self-confident.

So happy for this horse! She had injured her check ligament and the vet gave her a score of 3.5/5 for soundness on a straight line on soft grass! Two weeks later she’s moving beautifully (other than turning to the left, where the injury is, she’s still slightly lame). Applied composite shoes with DiM (dental impression material) on just her fronts to give her extra protection and support.
