After the news that a school banned a child with autism from participating in a school trip I feel the need to write this. There are boys and girls that no one invites to birthdays for example. There are kids who want to belong to a team but don't get selected because it's more important to win than include these kids. Children with special needs are not weird or strange, they just want what everyone else wants: to be accepted!! 😡Can I ask a question??. Is anyone willing to copy and paste this post on their wall without sharing, like I did for a friend? they also need full love and support.

It’s always fun traveling with a hat can!!
“ what kind of instrument is that?”
“ Is that a pet?”

Always weigh your hay

Flakes of hay can vary in weight.

One flake of grass hay can weigh as little as 3lbs, and upwards of 5lbs, so occasionally weighing your hay may help with weight issues in some horses.

Here are a few examples of a grass hay testing at 800 calories per pound. (Per day)

4 flakes at 3lbs per flake = 12lbs and 9600 kcal.
4 flakes at 5lbs each = 20lbs and 16,000 kcals.
6 flakes at 5lbs each = 30lbs and 24,000 kcals.

Weighing hay can be key in managing both over and underweight horses who are “meal-fed” as they may be getting much more or much less than expected. Using a hay net or basket and fish scale is an easy way to get an idea of how much is being fed and should be done on a regular basis (at least with each new load).

Every year I donate a saddle in memory of a very special lady who I had the privilege to know and call a true friend. I am not involved with the decision on who is chosen to receive the sportsmanship award but every year a very deserving young person is recognized for their willingness to help, above and beyond what is asked, with integrity and respect towards others, winning or losing. This year’s recipients is a special one for me- Livvie started her AQHA career with me and I was able to see her grow confidence, skills, determination and see her love for “Ice” Icy Rapper which was SO mutual!!! The big sloppy kisses he gave her were priceless !!! Livvie rides with Ricky and Jess now but always has a smile and takes a moment to talk to everyone at every show and that says so much about this sweet kind young lady. Enjoy your saddle Olivia Clough and never stop smiling 💕
