We’ve been normalizing horses in pain for so long that they’ve become things of beauty, cherished art.

I snapped these in the restroom of Milan’s Ralph Lauren Cafe.

There was a time I’d have coveted these photos. Now I can’t unsee the pained expressions.

Remember what the horse world can be like.

Remember to wish people a good ride when they enter the class with you.

Remember to help a stranger back a trailer in.

Remember to smile when you tie next to each other.

Remember to take pictures of them riding. Even if it’s just one.

Remember to share your mounting block with the entire row of riders who forgot theirs.

Remember to hold the horse when they fall off. Help them stand up. Brush the sand off their jacket.

Remember to put the rails back up when you leave the ring so the next rider doesn’t have to.

Remember to slow down and stop your horse when someone is looking nervous.

Remember to share your water. Remember to share carrots.

Remember to compliment their saddle pad.

Remember to be the good side of the horse world.

Imagine you’re driving along and someone speeds up behind you and begins to tailgate and flash you. Feeling the pressure, you speed up and before you know it, the driver turns off the road and leaves you going through a speed camera for a fine.

I speak to so many people who feel so much pressure from the sport to push their horses, when in reality, especially if there is something not 100% with your horse, a push for progress can turn into rushing when key musculoskeletal and psychological blocks haven’t been addressed.

Love your horse before the sport 🤍
