Something to consider.

Whats the purpose of a flash? To keep a horses mouth shut. Why is the horse opening its mouth? Most commonly, evasion of pressure.

Address the cause of the behaviour, not the behaviour itself because it really is counter productive and just causes even more discomfort that there is no escape from.

Why should you say no to a flash and a tight noseband? 👇 do you see that soft bone with no support? That's why. Now imagine a dropped noseband on that. 🫣

There are three horse rescues I support that specifically target the slaughter bound horses, this being one of them. If you can’t make a financial donation, can you please take a few minutes to contact you representatives and senators regarding the safe act? Please.

The USDA released a report on May 23rd detailing the number of horses exported into Mexico. There was a noticeable increase in numbers, from 321 horses in the previous week to 483.

In response to this situation, there's a call for widespread support of the SAFE ACT. This legislation could potentially put a halt to the export of horses for slaughter: https://bit.ly/3vsRQbQ

Your support can make a difference in intercepting horses from entering the slaughter pipeline. We also have programs like the Buy-Out Program that aims to save these horses. We were able to save 57 precious souls last Tuesday, May 21st, through our Buy-Out Program. We wouldn’t be able to do it without your continued support and donations. Thank you so much!

I’ve been meaning to post this since attending the Liberty Horse Festival last October. I love this quote.

I am a follower and support of All Seated In A Barn rescue (just one of the 3 equine rescues I donate to) please follow them on Instagram. They are at an auction in Texas where a BLM mustang is in the kill pen ready to board the truck to Mexico. Isn’t that lovely that our government rounds up wild horses and then sells them at auction to slaughter? Please support them if you can. They are fundraising right now for these horses. Please help.

Is it possible horses have color preferences? Does your palomino prefer purple, your Trakehner turquoise, your mare mauve? Can horse owners ever know?

Thank you, Centaur Forge for this wonderful job on rebuilding my almost 20-year-old hoof nippers. I wish I had a picture to show the comparison, as they were old, beat up, sticky in the hinge and pretty rusty. They now look brand new!

1938 70-year-old Elizabeth Arnold
Even though she was only a reported 5ft tall, Elizabeth was a darn good blacksmith who was thought to be the only female blacksmith in England in the early 20th century. Shoeing a horse outside of a 400 year-old forge in Kent. She was still working when she was 70 years old and was said to have been able to swing a 10lb sledgehammer like no one’s business.

Refused to let the rescues bid on them? Brought to you by the US government.

Happy 28th birthday to my sweet, sweet man. We will be together 21 years this coming July and what a journey it’s been. This horse has taught me so much. I love him more every day. Happy birthday, Simon . ❤️❤️

Especially this time of year!

I need this! 🙌😂

I donate regularly to this organization. Out of the 38 horses they saved from slaughter, 17 had to euthanized immediately as they were in such bad shape. Shame on you owners who do this to their horses. How could people be so cold?

Something to think about.

I’m a little shocked that I’m driving by horses who still have their blanket/rain sheets on…..it’s almost 70 degrees out! Please take them off! Horses are most comfortable between 17-55 degrees, and unless clipped, still have their winter coats.

I swear this horse will be the death of me. Care to name the culprit?

To the person who is about to judge..
.the woman with the skinny, underweight horse. Did you know this horse was rescued at an auction three weeks ago, in a horrible condition? That she has already spent $$$$ on vet and dentist visits since then? That this horse has already started to gain weight? That this horse greets her everyday with a gentle nicker, and is growing in confidence every day they are together?
.the girl who’s always at the yard with her horse, rain or shine. Did you know that she is being bullied at work by her boss? Did you know that spending time with her horse is her way to get away from it all? That being with her horse is her way of surviving?
. the girl who hasn’t ridden her three year old mare yet. Did you know that even though her barn friends sneer at her, she refuses to ride her horse this year and instead will wait at least another year or longer, while doing groundwork instead? Did you know that she knows that the earliest a horse’s back is fully mature is 5.5 years of age at the minimum? Did you know how much it hurts to be the ‘odd one out’ when everyone else at her barn is already riding their 2 and 3 year olds?
.the girl who never canters her horse. Did you know that she started riding again recently for the first time in 24 years? That owning her first ever horse is a lifelong dream come true? That she regularly feels scared and nervous before she rides, but she tacks up anyway? Did you know that every day a tiny piece of her worry disappears, and she feels moments of true happiness?
.the girl walking on foot beside her horse. Did you know that this horse can no longer be ridden? That he retired due to health issues? Did you know that he loves his daily walks? That he feels valued and special on these walks? Did you know that by spending that time with her horse, it has helped this girl cope with a very nasty divorce and toxic home environment?
.the girl doing groundwork with her horse in the arena. Did you know that she has learned that true collection will help improve her horse’s long term physical health, and that it doesn't include forcing your horse to hold an unnaturally low head position? That she committed to begin teaching her horse shoulder out and in on the ground, because it is one of the best ways to begin collection with her horse?
. the girl who uses a bitless bridle. Did you know that when a bit is put into her horse's mouth, it hits off her horse’s canine teeth and causes him pain? Or tthat since she switched to a bitless bridle, her horse has become much more relaxed and happy? Did you know that even though she competes in local shows anymore, that she will never put a bit in her horse’s mouth again?

So, to the person who is about to judge.. Don’t.

I want to scream, cry and cuss when I see people jumping 4 year olds.
