I've been thinking about leadership lately.

Not the kind that comes with titles or corner officesโ€ฆ but the kind that truly impacts lives.
Leadership is hard. It takes courage. And most of allโ€”it takes responsibility. Not just for how we lead, but for who we choose to follow.

Too often, we follow someone because they're popular, loud, or in chargeโ€”without asking ourselves the real questions.

Here are 3 questions I believe everyone should ask about the person they're following (and if you're a leaderโ€”questions your team is silently asking about you):

1๏ธโƒฃ Can you help me?
This is about competence. Do you actually know how to guide me toward growth?

2๏ธโƒฃ Do you care for me?
This is about compassion. Am I just a numberโ€”or do you really care about my well-being?

3๏ธโƒฃ Can I trust you?
This is about character. Are you the same person behind closed doors as you are in public?

Iโ€™ve had to ask these questions of myself. And I hope the people whoโ€™ve chosen to follow me feel confident in the answers.

Because leadership is a privilege. And every follower deserves someone worth following.

If youโ€™ve ever had a leader who made a real difference in your life, drop their name (or a lesson they taught you) in the comments. Letโ€™s celebrate what good leadership looks like.

Horses are truly incredible creatures โ€” not only for their power, grace, and endurance on land, but also for their remarkable ability to swim confidently and naturally. ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŽ

Many people donโ€™t realize that swimming is an instinct for horses. They donโ€™t need to be taught โ€” when a horse enters deep water, it immediately begins to paddle with strong, rhythmic leg movements that keep it afloat.

โœ… Fascinating facts:

Horses can swim at a speed of about 4โ€“6 km/h (2.5โ€“3.7 mph).

Depending on their fitness and health, they are capable of swimming from 300 meters up to several kilometers without rest.

Their large lungs, strong heart, and muscular build allow them to handle mild currents with ease.

Swimming is also highly beneficial for their health: it strengthens muscles, relieves stress on joints, and helps with relaxation and recovery.

But perhaps the most awe-inspiring part is the calm and trust you see in a horseโ€™s eyes while it swims. Swimming isnโ€™t about escape or fear โ€” itโ€™s about freedom. In every powerful stroke, thereโ€™s harmony with nature. In every breath, there's raw, living strength.

Watching a horse glide through deep water, you donโ€™t just see an animal. You see a spirit that doesnโ€™t fear the depth โ€” because it was born to move through it.

What are those โ€œpetalsโ€ on a newborn foalโ€™s hooves? ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘ฃ

If youโ€™ve ever seen the hooves of a just-born foal, they might surprise you. Instead of the familiar hard structures, youโ€™ll notice soft, fluffy growths that look almost waxy or petal-like. But donโ€™t worry โ€” itโ€™s completely natural!

These structures are called eponychium (commonly nicknamed โ€œfoal slippersโ€). They serve a very important purpose:
๐Ÿ”ธ They protect the delicate environment of the womb from the sharp edges of the hooves;
๐Ÿ”ธ They prevent injury to the birth canal during delivery;
๐Ÿ”ธ They cushion the foalโ€™s first steps right after birth.

Within a few hours of birth, these soft tissues begin to dry out, wear off, and naturally fall away, revealing the fully formed hoof underneath. Within a day or two, the foalโ€™s hooves look just like those of an adult horse.

Nature, as always, takes care of every little detail โค๏ธ
