Winter is coming but remember we still are doing lessons as long as feel like temp is 30 or higher. If you feel the roads or weather are bad please let me know and we can reschedule. The barn owner keeps me posted amazingly on how the gravel is I can keep everyone informed. 😊

A few reminders to help stay warm:
* Lots of layers, I will not judge if you don’t match. If you’ve seen me at the barn in the winter I am warm but my outfits a bit strange. 😂
*Hand and foot warmers, they have also added back warmers!
* You know yourself/ your child best even if the temp is rideable if you or them think it’s still to cold that is ok! We can wait for a warmer day 😊
*Gloves, gloves and more gloves! Think they are in the coat? Better have spares packed in the car because we all know gloves disappear, where they go who knows 😅

I want everyone to enjoy riding and sometimes after the ride the horse cuddles are the best part

I am a lesson horse.
I am a horse that isn’t as recognized as the top hunter jumpers, the best western pleasure horse, or the 1D barrel horse, I am a lesson horse. I am the backbone of the foundation to do all of those things. I am a lesson horse.

I am not loved by one person. I am loved by several people. I don’t have my person, I have my people. I am a lesson horse.

I will teach your child and yourself more than just to ride. I will bring your child out of their shell. I will teach your child about life. I will be yours and their shoulder to cry on. I am a lesson horse.

I will bring my family the joy of teaching kids. I will bring my families business growth. I am so loved by my family, even if they don’t express it everyday. My family allows others to show me love and enjoy me. I am a lesson horse.

At the end of your childs’ journey on a lesson horse, they will out grow me. They will find one that jumps higher, a horse that is show quality, a horse much faster than me. But, I will never outgrow being a lesson horse. I will be the one that loved your child and helped your child grow into the rider and person they are. I am a lesson horse.

At the end of my time as a lesson horse; I will be covered in grey hair. Each grey hair came from each hour I spent as a lesson horse. I will be in a field of green grass, I will be taken care of as I was when I was a lesson horse. I will watch your child from across the pasture love her new horse. But, I will love your child more than any horse can. I will be the backbone of the business, the family, and your child. Don’t forget about me, I am a lesson horse.

I am a lesson horse.

We love our lesson horses at HMH

Katie got a bath and a makeover. This girl has been reminding me to grab bands so we could braid Katie’s hair. I finally remembered them.

Lessons aren’t just about riding, you need to learn about horse care, nutrition and how much times goes into having them.

Plus hot days are great for bath 😊

Good afternoon!

With this heat make sure to bring lots of water and sunscreen!

Also I am off of lessons from July 15-19, I do have spots on Saturday July 20 but will be gone on Sunday July 21.

We have Buchanan county fair this week so I get to love on all the animals we don’t have.

Stay hydrated out there!!

Hannah :)

Hello!
With this weather please park by the white fencing, the trailers or the white cement wall by the garbage bin. We have a little trench dug to move water.

I am back! We will resume lessons as normal. If you have any questions please reach out.

I am sorry the Florida weather did not follow me home 😭

Hi, everyone! Just a reminder I am out of town until Monday. I hope you have a great weekend.

Interesting read :)

Two equine nutritionists talk about what you need to know to keep your horse hydrated.

Happy rainy morning!!

I wanted to restate that from April 21 through April 28 there will be no lessons as I will be gone in Florida. Let’s hope the weather follows me home😊

We will star back up normal the week of April 29

Thank you all for understanding 🩷🩷

Just as lung sounds can reveal a lot about our own health, the noises your horse makes when he breathes can tell you about his health. Here's how to listen to your horse's lungs and interpret what you hear. >>>https://bit.ly/EQListenToLungs

Hello!

Just a heads up this weekend(22-24) I will be out of town so no lessons.

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend and I can’t wait to see everyone next week 😊

Enjoy the photo of Rosie and I when the weather was nice 😂

Happy Friday!

Let’s hope for this nice weather to stick around as we were able to use the outdoor arena for one lesson so far!

Check your trailer before you haul to prevent roadside problems and improve the horses’ comfort and chances for a safe arrival.

🎃Orange pumpkins and their seeds are safe for horses to eat, according to the Michigan State University Extension. But there are a few dos and don’ts owners should know before indulging.👇🏼

📍Do not feed pumpkins to horses that haven’t been thoroughly inspected. For example, sometimes gourds will start to rot from the inside, and it’s not visible without cutting into the pumpkin. If the gourd has any soft spots, you should avoid. This feels like common sense, but you shouldn’t feed any part of the stalk to a horse, either. It can be a choking hazard. But seeds are OK.✅

And it goes without saying, but don’t feed a painted or decorated pumpkin to a horse.

The best way to feed pumpkin to horses is in small pieces and one slice at a time. Less is always better than more – so just a few pieces a day is acceptable. 🧡

Happy spooky season! 🎃✨🧡
