Today, Coco was laid to rest.

I will forever be grateful for this horse and his owner. They both allowed me to use him when I started my business for lessons. Coco was the kindest, most forgiving, heart of gold boy you'll ever meet. He taught so many not only to ride, but how to be horsemen and women and fall in love with this sport. He brought together this incredible group of people at our barn. He was so loved and so cherished. Every horse deserves to be loved by a little girl at least once in their lives, and he was loved by so many. To know Coco was to love him.

I'd love it if you have a memory of Coco for you to share it for his loving owner, Melissa, to see. All my love is going out to her for the loss of this one in a million horse. ❤️❤️

The Best Horses in Heaven, They Have No Tail

by Miska Paget

The best horses in Heaven they have no tail. This is a rule they all know without fail. For when a new horse arrives with a shortcut bob, they all know that this horse did a very good job.

His owner could not bear to part with her friend, so she saved his tail, wrapped in ribbons and in braids, to hold with his memory in a very loving way.

To enter Heaven without a tail is an honor,
a message, that without fail announces to everyone, far and wide that this horse
was more than a wonderful ride.

But this horse was loved and cherished by one and when his time serving on this Earth was done he left behind a broken heart and a soul from which he never will part.

Someone had her teeth floated this week!

Did you know horses also have to receive routine dental care? Floating teeth refers to the procedure of smoothing out a horse's teeth. Horses' teeth grow throughout their entire lives, and because of the grinding motion they use when chewing, sharp points, hooks, and edges can be created. If these go unchecked, they can cause cuts and even ulcers in a horse's mouth, making it painful to eat, leading to gum disease or infection, and/ or sensitivity to a bit. How often a horse gets their teeth done can vary, so it's always best to consult your vet. They recommend every 10- 12 months for Letty.

Thank you, Sarasota Equine, for always making sure my girl is feeling her best!

Happy Birthday to all our equine friends!

Did you know, regardless of a horse's actual birthday, they're considered another year older as of January 1st?
This was started in 1833 by the Jockey Club to eliminate a sudden change in age during the middle of racing season. This is also why you'll start to see A LOT of babies flooding your timeline. It's advantageous to have babies early in the year so they enter their futurity and derby years with as much time training as possible.

My heart aches for the beach horse team and the horses. I started with them when I ventured out to train full time. I needed a little something extra to help cover bills while I built my client base. I love my time with them, and they're a part of the reason I get to do what I love everyday.

If you can spare a few dollars, it would really go a long way.

Just a friendly reminder: You're living in what younger you used to look forward to.
Don't disappoint them.

If you're contemplating going to that show that keeps popping up in your suggested events, just do it! I can guarantee that almost everyone there is also nervous. There are others who are also just trying to get through it. Go and keep it fun for yourself and your horse. Go and meet new people. Go and set goals for yourself and your horse!

Just remember, everyone had to start somewhere! Just get out there and ride your horse!
