Well we are back in the ring 🥳. It took a long to time to heal but I have come thru to otherside knowing more about bodies,fitness, self compassion, and empathy than I ever thought I would. The journey only goes higher from here.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. My friend sent this it touched my heart.

I needed a different kind of holiday this year -one that incorporated more aspects of emotional health and healing. So I changed up the menu a bit 😘 Please ...

Ian Millar once told me it takes three things to make a great rider: a great horse, a great coach, and a great ability to watch somebody great and apply some of their techniques to your own riding. To actually see something, experiment with it, and apply it.

Words of wisdom from one of the greats. Worth the time to read

WoSJ speaks with Ehning about the power of the basics and the importance of having horses in the right mental space – as well as about his concern that the younger generation is skipping a step.

I cannot remember where i saw this post but it touched my heart so much i thought i would share it ...
Once in every equestrian’s life, they will meet a special horse.

This horse wont necessarily be a Badminton winner or dressage champion. They won’t always carry multiple titles or be the most talented with the best breeding.

Very often, these horses are nothing more than ordinary. They might have the odd lump here or a strange marking there. They probably won’t tick all the boxes for conformation and they will probably have some character “quirks” that not everyone will be able to see past.

You don’t find these horses, they find you. They can come to you by accident or hide in plain sight. They are the one rescued from the meat man or the one in the last stable at the dealing yard. They are the last horse you go to see before you give up searching or the scruffy three year old stood in a field of mud. They are the horse you never even knew you needed.

People will raise an eyebrow when you say this is your “best horse”. Not everyone will see what you see and that’s ok because this horse will be special to you. They will unlock little things inside you and make you feel more at home than you’ve ever felt anywhere else in your life.

They may not always be easy, in fact they might be anything but easy, but it doesn’t stop you loving them. I’m not saying the will follow you round the arena with no lungeline, or that you can ride them tackless down the beach... but you’ll have your own connection that is hard to describe and even harder to explain.

There is no rhyme or reason as to why this horse is so special. You don’t have to have won at every event or defied death together to validate your relationship, it just happens.

You won’t feel this way about another horse. Sure, there will be ones that come close and it doesn’t stop you loving any other horse just as much as this one, but this one is special. This is your heart horse.

Some people stumble across their heart horse early on in their life, others wait a lifetime to meet, but somewhere out there is a horse that was made for you, so if you haven’t met them yet... be patient, they will find you.

They might not always be the horse you want, but they will always be the horse you need.

Open your heart ❤

From one if the best. No one was born with reigns on their hands. They all worked hard.

"I was not the talent of my generation,” McLain Ward told riders while coaching the gymnastics session of the 2023 USEF Horsemastership Training Series, “but I know I’m more organized than you. I’m more disciplined and consistent about that discipline. I’ve always had goals, and I’ve been doggedly determined about those goals. And I’m surrounded by the best people, who help me achieve those goals.”

What a great video a client just sent me 🥰 what a great feeling to inspire curiosity in others. This video explains the important of our role as riders to be the voice of the horse. They also do an bueatiful job of simplifing how one can learn to listen thank you 🙏

The 24 Behaviors of the Ridden Horse in Pain is a film that dares to challenge the way we look at "badly behaving" horses, and promotes the notion that lamen...

So inspired by our new tool for training and prevention for both horse and rider.
A Thermography camera.
Food for thought:
The human hand at best can feel a .2 degree surface heat. A thermography camera can detects .01 to .02....so excited to leg myself, the horses, and the students up with this new tool.

Come on in. This trailer is so innovative. Quiet ride because hardly any metal inside and all pieces store inside the trailer!!!! That's right, locks and pops in the main truck out of the way. A trailer made by horse people for horses.
