Becks Nairn is doing fantastic work! It is so important to understand the structures we are influencing and the consequences of our training practices.

Thank you so much to everyone who said prayers, sent good energy and asked how Gustavo was doing.
Overall he's much better. He had melanoma surgery to remove masses from both ends of his alimentary canal 👅➡️🍑

Because he came home with an impaction colic, he had to have a nasogastric tube passed, and re**al palpation to clean the days worth of impacted manure. Unfortunately, this busted open both incision sites 😭He should be ok, but this is going to lead to longer healing time.

It will be a few more weeks before we can ride, but I have been doing some really light groundwork (we're staying away from his powerhouse moves for now). He has lost a lot of weight (fat and muscle) in a short amount of time (which I expected), but I want to keep him moving.

Thanks again. It's humbling to feel the love from all over the world for my 🔥🐴

It's Small Business Saturday!!!

Those of us running our own businesses don't have, paid time off, sick days, company provided health insurance, 401K's, or holidays off. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining! I learned a long time ago that I'd rather run myself into the ground than to be disposable to someone else.

Here's what you can do to help my small business, and those of your friends:

❄️Comment on my posts! That is the single most valuable thing you can do that costs nothing!
❄️Like and Share my content!
❄️Invite your friends to Like my business page. Just go to the 3 dots "..." on the top right, and then click "invite friends". Pages with more followers get bumped up on the views.
❄️Visit my website and take a look at the free videos and podcasts. There are free videos on the home page, as well as a free exercise video at the bottom of the store page. You can find it at Www.shadetreestables.com

Thanks so much for you help! I look forward to continuing to support you and your horse(s) for years to come ❤

Perception

It's a funny thing. I have found that often times as owners, we don't actually realize what many of the signals from our horses actually mean. This is why I always ask to see behaviors in person or on video before giving advice.

Things like yawning, dropping, and licking and chewing can all be signs of release, but also signs of stress. It's all about context.

We have to be very careful that what we interpret as relaxation isn't actually early signs that we are pushing the horse too far. Have you ever misinterpreted signals from your horse to later realize it meant something else?

Do you feel like a salmon swimming upstream in the horse industry?

Are you looking to find other mindful horse people that actually put the horse first?

This was Gustavo after arriving home yesterday.

I was very apprehensive about leaving him at the hospital so long post melanoma surgery, but they wanted to monitor him....
When I picked up him yesterday there were so many red flags, but I knew I needed to get him home.

I have a wonderful vet that came out right away, and long story short, he was incredibly impacted, the "worst my vet had ever seen". He pulled buckets of rock hard manure out of him along with other supportive care, and I handled it the rest of the night.

Overnight he passed the rest of the rock hard manure that my vet couldn't reach, and passed several piles of oily p**p, so fingers crossed we're out of the woods. I know to stand up for my horse, and to listen to my gut, but I didn't. I followed authority, from people that I believed more capable of me, and I think if this had gone on another 12 hours it would have been a completely different outcome.

Sometimes we all need the reminder to advocate for our horses.
