These are great RIDING RULES FOR Middle Aged HORSEWOMEN
1) We DO NOT need to show up with our hair combed and wearing makeup and a clean shirt.
2) Moaning, groaning and complaining about aching muscles is perfectly acceptable, as is taking Motrin (or something stronger) prior to a ride.
3) Helping someone on or off the horse does not mean the rider is an invalid. It only means the horse got taller overnight.
4) No one will comment about how big someone's butt looks in a saddle.
5) Everyone will wait patiently while someone dismounts and adjusts equipment. They will also wait patiently until that person re-mounts and is ready to move on--no matter how long that takes.
6) When a horse is acting up, we will just accept that it is having a bad hair day - it is not the rider's fault.
7) Mentioning that it is too hot, too dry, too humid, too cold, too wet, too buggy, etc., is considered self-expression, not whining.
8)Wanting to be first, last, walk, or just stop does not mean the rider is a wimp. Sometimes it is necessary to teach a horse who is in charge.
9) We will take time to discuss the important issues of the day, like who is dating who, who is cheating on who and any other relevant information that needs to be passed on.
10) We will acknowledge that horses are very strange animals and that sometimes, for no reason at all, we fall off of them. If this happens to any rider, the other riders will ascertain that the person is okay and then not mention the incident to another living soul, especially husbands and significant others.
11) Our horses are not fat, they are "big-boned."
12) We need to keep this riding thing mysterious and strange-sounding. If everyone finds out how much fun it is, the price of horses will go up and we will not be able to afford a dozen of them.
13) If we want, we can show up in English helmets and boots and ride in a western saddle if we feel like it, so we can take more stuff with us and no one is allowed to make comments.

โ๏ธ When tightening your horse's girth for a ride, you should tighten it incrementally on either side so that it's on a similar hole on both sides. This will ensure that your saddle will sit in the center of your horse's back and that your horse is comfortable during the ride! ๐ด
Would you like to see a workshop at ? In our most recent poll, Saddle Fitting had the most interest when it came to workshop topics. Would you like to learn about this? Tell us your thoughts ๐ญ
Without a bond between you and your horse, you have nothing ๐ค
We are blessed to have such a beautiful facility to call home ๐ดโค๏ธ
With the space that we have, we have decided to hold some educational events this year, and we wanted to ask YOU what you would like to learn about. We will find speakers who are certified and skilled in each topic to come and teach a little seminar on various aspects of horse care or equestrian sports.
Some topics we have thrown around areโฆ
๐ด Equine Nutrition
๐ด Proper Grooming
๐ด Hoof Anatomy + Farrier Work
๐ด Equine Anatomy 101
๐ด Saddle Fitting
๐ด Riding Disciplines
Which of these topics would be of interest to you? Tell us in the comments and help us choose our first workshop at SRC! ๐
Take care of your horses in the best ๐possible๐way - our motto here at SRC ๐ดโค๏ธ๐ด
From your first riding lesson at SRC, you were told to pick your horseโs hooves out every single day. But why?
Prevention is cheaper than a cureโand nowhere is this more true than in the case of picking out hooves. There are lots of good reasons to clean your horseโs hooves on a regular basis, includingโฆ
๐ด Removing random objects from the hoof that could puncture or damage it
๐ด Detecting infections, like Thrush.
๐ด Identifying problems, like a loose nail or a shift in a shoe
๐ด Training - your horse should pick up his feet confidently and willingly
๐ด Bonding - grooming your horse, picking his or her feet, and taking care of your horse is just good care and bonding time for the both of you!
Give it a try! Make picking out your horseโs hooves a part of your regular grooming routine. Your horse, farrier, vet, and wallet will thank you for it! Raise your hand in the comments if itโs already a part of your daily grooming routine ๐โโ๏ธ
Always remember this โจ๐ดโจ

No stirrups? No problem!
Work without stirrups is a great tool for any rider regardless of discipline.
๐ด Allows a rider to reach another level of feel, balance and suppleness in the saddle
๐ด Helps increase awareness of your own biomechanics as well as the horseโs
๐ด Teaches you a sense of balance, builds core strength and improves your feel of the horse underneath you
Hereโs one of our students rocking her no stirrup session ๐
Christmas is all about the spirit of giving and helping those in need. The Karma Project is something we do every year to give back - this year we have chosen to donate to Foothills Food Bank. This local organization would love donations of clothing, food, or anything else you can think of to help the homeless population.
