This is a good formula to keep in mind this summer for all states that contend with humidity... Kentucky is certainly one of them.

😰𝑩𝒆𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒊𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒚!😰
Texas has been the humid it’s been in a long time, and it’s something we’re having to watch closely. Moist air makes hot weather even more dangerous to ride in because it slows the rate at which sweat evaporates. Here’s a rule of thumb formula to follow:

𝙰𝚒𝚛 𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎 + 𝚑𝚞𝚖𝚒𝚍𝚒𝚝𝚢 = 𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚠𝚎𝚛

𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟯𝟬: 𝘼𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙. Horses can function properly to cool themselves.
𝟭𝟯𝟬-𝟭𝟱𝟬: 𝘾𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. You run the risk of overheating.
𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟱𝟬: 𝙃𝙖𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙤𝙪𝙨. Avoid riding or working horses entirely.

Huge thank you to Storybook Performance Horses for the driving lessons!! He's never driven alone and only briefly twice with me last YEAR! They had a blast! 🤩

I can't believe it's been a year and we are RIDING him now... AND he is a whole lot bigger than Lena 😱😳

SHARE WITH US! How are your mares being used??

For us, a useful stallion is a good stallion and Elliott has fit the bill beautifully! This morning I needed to go pick up some items from the pastures down the road so I saddled him up and asked him to do the work for me. He was quiet and did as he was asked. No warm up. Right out of the pasture. I got my junk and he got his exercise 😅 These are little jobs right now. Riding by himself... Arriving at other farms with tons of mares and running horses... Heading quietly home... Carrying items I need... those jobs will keep getting bigger and he will, no doubt, keep rising to the challenge. He loves the work and we love sharing what he's doing, both big and small, and we would like to hear about your working horses in the comments too! 🥰

Master Dressage

Get Back To The Basics!

https://dressagetraining.tv/groundwork/

It is easy to get frustrated when you get stuck training your horse. Just remember that, in general, your horse isn't being obtuse on purpose, it sometimes helps to go back to the basics like groundwork to establish communication.
