So many of you have lost precious loved ones recently, or are planning to.
Family and pets.

Some of the best horses I’ve ever known have left for greener pastures this year, this week.

I was too weak to be there for a couple I would have otherwise wanted to. I tried, and it choked me.
The loss. It compounds.

I don’t go to funerals anymore. I can’t.
It isn’t selfish to protect what little 🔥 I have left in my own soul.
I grieve. I grieve alone and with friends. But we grieve in private. We grieve in private because we grieve so hard. Because it is daily.
For our fathers, our brothers, our pets, children…..

We know it doesn’t matter to the world, but it matters to us.

Your horses matter to me. And the people I love, even if I didn’t know your family, I hate to see you hurting. I hate that you’re losing someone so close. So important to who you are as a being

The world is hurting.
So many want to pretend it’s all fine, and we can stay positive and try to hope for that, but

I know it’s not fine. I know here in this moment you wish they were here. I’m here for the real people. We can admit. It’s not fine, it’s “fine-enough” we go on.

I know plans were different.

I know you had things to share with them.

I know for a good soul, two legged or four, naked or furry, that no length of time is enough.

Major, Dolly, Chief, Radish- and many more this year and prior.
Our fathers . Past lives. People we thought we knew. Grieve all of it. It isn’t meant to be forgotten. But life goes on.

Good hoof care is essential as the foundation to horse confirmation, literally!
Muscles get sore when made to compensate for poor trims or overgrowth. Regular farrier visits is setting your pony partner up for success!

Know Your Horse

I recently saw a news channel post a story about someone bringing their horses into their house. This story has been shared by so many different audiences on FB, from my horse groups to just regular meme groups. This article is largely met with positive comments. Everyone is all for it. WHY?! The picture that accompanied the article, which in all fairness is short on context, shows two horses with snow standing on their back. Seeing this unmelted snow is affirmation that the horses’ natural coats are doing their job! Is this ‘cute’? Sure! I’m all for a fun horse pic in any non dangerous situation. However, sharing the story is doing a disservice to horse owners. It isn’t explaining any mitigating circumstances and it is getting the public out with pitchforks to argue about a topic they clearly aren’t educated on. Know your horse. The horses in the video are on a routine. Typically, they’ll watch us bring the neighboring field of horses in, and will be waiting right at the gate, ready to eat! Today, they watched as we brought in their neighbors AND a couple other horses in the same field. And yet, they didn’t budge. They stayed out another couple of hours and had a great time rough housing! When we went out again, they were ready and waiting. It’s ok to seek advice when unsure, but don’t let anyone convince you that if you don’t bring your equine friends inside your house, you’re a failure of a horse owner. Don’t worry about meeting unrealistic expectations. Do right by the animals in your care.

Smoke is a new client. This 7 year old QH knows how to get what he wants!

Momma Sorsha is about half way through her pregnancy and it’s really starting to show! ↔️ She’s typically a spicy mare but has mellowed as the pregnancy progresses and really enjoyed her maternity massage. Lots of cross fiber friction for her itchy skin resulted in some really cute reactions! 💙

I spent a leisurely afternoon working on the Masterson Method with Patches of @SureFire Horsemanship, LLC. She is experienced with body work and knows how to work in a partnership to get results. This afternoon was a quiet approach as compared to the hands on healing I typically use. However, Patches was releasing consistently through licks and chews, yawns, and stretches. She got very fidgety prior to allowing release, but participated fully in the experience once she allowed it! In this short Timelapse, you’ll see a pattern where she puts her head down just before release.
