Come spend the day with me and my Hooman! 🥰👇
It was a really good day! I, cough my Hooman, even got a mini haul, and brought it to me! I love it! I only wish i had hands to show it all to you myself, but thankfully, my Hooman has hands so she was able to show it to you for me! What do you think of everything she got me?
My Hooman also brought my updated and refreshed leg kit back to the barn too! My Hooman developed the leg kit 25 years ago. It's a little container with emergency leg supplies that she has kept near any of her horses. It has stable bands, gamgee, a pillow wrap, animalintex poltices, and usually also a vet wrap or 2. She keeps more leg stuff at her home, but this little kit is great for travel or leg emergencies in the event the barn can't get a hold of my Hooman right away. She got the idea when living and working with horses in the UK. They taught her about emergency first aid stuff for horses and stressed the importance of having leg supplies handy, so when my Hooman moved back the the US and got her first horse she decided to create the leg kit! 🥰
Question : Do you have a special emergency kit for your horse or pet? What's in it?

Hoof Cleaning Tips! 👏👇
Tip 1
Always point the sharp end of the hoof pick down when cleaning hooves. It makes it less likely that you'll accidentally strike the soft tissue of the hoof or the leg. Also, the sharp end will be less likely to get you in the eye if it flies out of your hand for some reason.
Tip 2
When doing the hind hooves, wrap your arm around the front of the hoof as shown in the video. Don't bring it around the back. Having it around the back, is not safe. If the horse kicks or moves fast, you'll not be in the best position, and you could loose an arm or dislocate a shoulder. Keeping it wrapped around the front of the hoof, reduces that risk and makes for a quicker get away if you need to jump back quickly.
And ideally, when doing hooves wear a helmet. I did not. But if I was taking my own advice I would, because that is good advice. Also, always crouch or squat around a horses legs, do not sit down. Crouching or squatting makes it easier to jump away quickly if you need to.
Obviously, anything can happen with horses and there's no gaurentee no matter what you do, but you can make things a little safer for you and your horse during handling by taking extra precautions.
For anyone interested in this hoof pick. It's over 20 years old. It has lasted me forever. It is my very fav hoof pick ever. It's weighted nicely and super sturdy and tbh an ingenious design, IMO. ☺️

She's one lucky doggo! Thank you @chewy for the birthday coupon! It made Princess Leia's day!
FUN FACT. Princess Leia is a pound dog, so we don't actually know her official birthday or age, but that's OK! We can guess, we think she's around 3 now, and still throw her a little celebration! 🥰

My Hooman had originally tried Intense EQ on my mane and tail when it was dry, like the back of the bottle said it could. It didn't work out very well though. It left white patches and didn't brush through well at all. The bottle also said that it could be used as a leave in wet mane and tails too though, so as soon as it warmed up... I got a bath... 😂
My Hooman cleaned me up and tried the Intense EQ again, but this time ran it through my wet mane and tail. She then left me to my own devices for 2 days until she came back and checked how it looked on my now fully dried mane a tail. She was actually super surprised, because it looked amazing. I had to agree. My mane and tail looked really great, especially since it hadn't been brushed in 2 days since my bath, and I'd been rolling around in my stall and the field. Impressive!♥️
Then my Hooman added the Dream Coat, to see how the 2 looked layered together and... You might need sunglasses before you look at me now. I think you might be able to see someone's face in them maybe, they are so shiney, when the Intense EQ and Dream Coat were combined like that. 👀
So... me and my Hooman may not recommend the Intense EQ for dry manes and tails, but we 💯 recommend it for wet manes and tails! 🥰 And of course we always recommend Dream Coat!
