Let’s chat about keeping your horse comfortable during mud season

It’s not something we want to think about, but it’s something we need to think about.

Winter is hard on horses, let them go on a good day 🤍

What does it really mean to "let them go on a good day?"

It means it will be your hardest day. It won't matter if you've never done it before, or if you're gifted a dozen good days, each good day is always the hardest one.

It means they won't know what the fuss is about, why they're getting so many treats and extra belly scratches and hugs.

It means you will second guess your decision right up to the very last moment, the very last breath. You'll second guess yourself afterwards.

They'll knicker at you when you arrive, just like any other day.

The weather, perfect. They are content. They look sound today. They are breathing well, eating well, they get up easily enough from a nap in the sun....the list goes on. Whatever issue they struggle with, today they aren't.

Today you euthanize them.

This is what going on a good day means: sending them out while they are happy, while they are healthy, while they are eating well, walking well, etc. You make the choice to do it before an emergency takes the choice away from you, before your horse has to experience any more trauma or pain.

Their last memory will be filled with love.

It'll rip your heart out every time.

We can see the patterns and the increasing trends. We can predict it a little. We can obsess over the past and worry about the future.

Fortunately, horses, all animals, live in the moment. They don't worry about those things. They aren't worried about winter. They aren't worried about July, or allergies, or progressive diseases like cushings or dsld. They don't think about the close calls they've had before, and they certainly aren't thinking about the close calls that are destined to come, as their body continues to age and break down. They just are. They are happy and healthy, or fearful and in pain, on that day, in that moment.

It is the most difficult, most loving gift we are blessed to be able to give.

And that first ice storm will come, that first deep snow, that first heat wave....and you will find a little relief, no longer doubting the choice you made.

They were happy, and safe, and loved. That is all that matters.

It is never easy. ~Kelly Meister, author

We are fast approaching “no stirrups November”
Where riders are encouraged to take their stirrups off their saddle and ride without in attempt to better their seat, core, balance, and lower leg.

Riding without stirrups can be beneficial, but can be detrimental to your horses muscular, and skeletal system…

Please only work with no stirrups for a short period of time, don’t do your entire ride without stirrups. Your horse isn’t meant to be your trampoline, your horse feels everything! If you’re bouncing, or sliding all over, chances are you’ll also relying on your horses mouth for balance, so not only is their back paying for it, their mouths are too!

Be kind to your horse this November (and every day) don’t jump in on this trend just to feel included.

The equine industry is a tough industry, we all want to be on top, there is constant gossiping on the sidelines, others putting people down who aren’t as good as them, body shaming because your body isn’t the “proper” body shape for that discipline, and none of this is ok, nor should it be normalized in the industry.
Finding a balance in the equine industry is something everyone should do, I promise you will love life a lot more, you will be happier, your horse will be happier, and you will be less stressed!
Over the weekend do some self reflection and remember why you got into horses in the first place, we do it because we love it

A cool perspective!

Ever wondered how our anatomy compares to a horse’s? 🧐 Check out this colorful schematic of a human foot and a horse’s hind limb! Did you know that our heel is actually the equivalent of the point of the hock in a horse? 🦶➡️🐴
