We recently got an exciting new addition to our barn – a manure vacuum! No more removing manure by hand! The vacuum makes it so that manure can easily be removed from the track without even getting out of the towing vehicle. This makes taking care of our beloved lesson horses much easier!

It was too wet to ride this afternoon so we learned about leading horses through gates. The girls had a ton of fun practicing keeping one "horse" in while letting the other "horse" out. Thankfully the real horses have a lot less energy and aren't as determined to escape😂

Did you know?⬇️

Snow sitting on a horse's back is a good sign! It means that the horse's winter coat or blanket is doing its job and holding his body heat close to his skin. If the snow starts to melt, that's when you need to take action to warm him up!

A snowy lesson this evening.

Snow day! Let me see your snow pictures!!!

Horses need to be mentally relaxed before they can learn. They need to be physically relaxed before they can develop a healthy topline. And they need to be emotionally relaxed before they are asked to engage and perform. Relaxation should always be the top priority of any training session.

Check out these before and after pictures of Felix and see what a difference relaxation can make! I see the biggest difference in his face, jaw, and neck. The top picture was taken a few days after I brought him home. The bottom picture was sometimes last week. In the zoomed in view, you can see the tension he was holding in his jaw by looking at how his lower lip was sucked up and back behind his upper lip. In the more recent picture, his bottom lip is softly hanging forward, his eye is softer, and there is dramatically less tension in his poll and neck.

Relaxation matters! It is the key to having a happy, balanced horse!

Tonight's lesson - assembling bridles. It took some serious puzzle solving skills and lots of teamwork but they got it done!

How long does it take you to put a bridle together from scratch? If I handed you a single piece, would you be able to identify it?

Rabies, EWT, and West Nile are core vaccines that should be given to every horse. Even those who are not in contact with outside horses. Rabies is an annual vaccine for horses while EWT and West Nile should be given every 6 months since we have such a high mosquito population here in NC.

Make sure your herd is protected!

Horses are designed for movement! They aren't designed to stand around and eat lush grass and grain all day. Domestic horses tend to be way over fed and underworked.

Wild horses move 10-40 miles per day. How many miles of exercise does your horse get per day?

I'll be bringing several saddles, grazing muzzles, and other various items.
