Make Them Carry Their Saddle
A father of a darling girl and I were talking last week and he said that he wanted his daughter to ride more and not have to do the work part of the catching, grooming, and saddling. I smiled as I explained.
Riding horses is a combination of strength, timing, and balance. Kids in this country are physically weak (unless they are actively involved with weight training and physical conditioning 4+ times a week.)

When you walk out to the field, you are clearing your stress from being under fluorescentοΏΌ lights all day; feeling the sun soak into your bones. As your body moves on uneven surfaces, it strengthens your legs and core.
When you groom your horse (especially currying), you are toning your arms and stabilizing your core.
When you carry your saddle, your arms, chest, and back are doing isolated strengthening work.
Being near horses, calms and makes you tune into the splendor of these empathetic animals.

When you ride at a posting trot, it’s equivalent to a slow jog calorie burn wise.
After a lesson, the riders are physically tired and mentally quiet and balanced.
Horses feel your heart beat and mirror your emotions back.
Riding large and somewhat unpredictable animals makes you resilient and pushes your expectations.

Working with horses is so much more than learning how to ride.
So parents, make your children carry their saddles. Don’t do the hard parts for them, as long term it actually hurts them. To advance with their riding, they must get stronger. You can help by doing the high parts.

I love having you all at the farm, and am so grateful to get to share these fascinating animals with you.

Home safe and sound from the 2025 USNationals! I am so very thankful to all of the amazing players that make this happen. The clients, friends, caregivers, staff, home barn crew, show crew, farrier, vets, my kid (!) and above all these amazing horses that I am so BLESSED to work with. This is truly the MOST favorite part of my job and makes my heart so happy to work with these beautiful creatures!! Tulsa this year was full of emptions and excitement as always, and some bumps in the road as always...(multiple emergency veterinary care for my baby Oliver, which thank GOD he is ok, a blood clot, tire troubles, and the usual exhaustion). But also some amazing highlights such as beautiful rides, a first US National Top Ten for Uptown Girl FPH + + (!), fun times and laughs, making new friends and memories and reuniting with old friends.US inspires me every year! Ready to get after it and get ready for 2025 competitions!!4m

Congratulations to Dawn and John Vanek on Winning Top Ten honors in the Ladies Sidesaddle with Uptown Girl FPH++ πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰. Very very proud of this girl and how far she’s come! ❀️❀️❀️.
