"Mares aren’t always well liked and for the same reasons strong women aren’t.

Opinionated? Those opinions are not without good cause and maybe you can't figure them out or maybe you just don’t like her opinion of you.

Change it and she will always be on your side.

Stubborn? She just won’t let you bulldoze her. Treat her with respect and her resilience will be an asset to you.

Difficult? You just can’t handle her. You don’t have what it takes.

Stick with geldings then, and leave the mare for someone who understands her and appreciates the same qualities society has subtlety taught you not to like.

Here’s to mares, to strong women, and to those who CAN and DO appreciate them!"

Post a picture of you and the mare/mares that have made you not only a better rider but a better person!!

Put in the saddle time!

"Quit over feeding your performance horses, and start riding them."

There. I said it.

And for heaven's sake, quit turning to the vet for every misstep and bobble.

Instead of looking for a quick fix that doesn't involve effort, try saddling up and long trotting a few miles...daily. You probably got into this sport because you love to ride...so ride! Five days a week, rain or shine. I guarantee your horse won't be as 'ulcer-y', he won't freshen up and act up, he won't fall apart under pressure...you two will partner up the way a horse and rider were intended to.

You might even win more.

The last thing your underworked equine partner needs is grass 24-7, every supplement known to man kind, soaked (or unsoaked) alfalfa cubes on a daily basis, gastro medication, Lasix, and injections in every joint. What he does need is miles in the saddle.

And so do you.

Start there, at least.

Good old fashioned riding time.

K.I.S.S.

Keep it simple, stupid.

It's a good habit to develop anyway. All manner of equine problems can be fixed with consistent riding and some daily sweat...on the part of both parties.

Have a good day folks. 😊

Pictured below; the big engine LJ...a perfect example of what riding a horse everyday can build out of them. I didn't think I'd ever see the day this gelding would stand still. 🤷

He’s an OTTB so canter is ALWAYS his favorite answer. But who could blame him when it feels like flying. 🐉

Here’s your reminder to 💛SLOW DOWN!💛

GO WASH YOUR HORSE TODAY🪣🧼🚿
SIT WITH HIM WHILE HE EATS🐴🤎
OR JUST BE!🌺🧘🏻‍♀️

🩵 BREATHE 🩵

Maybe the horses don’t make us calm.
Maybe they just make everything else look ridiculous.

Because honestly?
A horse doesn’t care about your emails.
Your tax return.
Your to-do list.
Your filtered personality.

They don’t want your goals or your grind.
They want presence. A scratch in the right place.
A bit of hay. The real you.

And when you spend time with something that ancient, that honest,
society starts to look… unhinged.
Like… why do we do half the things we do?

Why do we sit under fluorescent lights clicking buttons all day,
when a pony can nap in a sunbeam and still get more done?

Maybe you’re not “lost.”
Maybe the world is just very, very loud.

Let the horses remind you what actually matters this weekend.

Arlo and I had a great day at the Steady Horse clinic. Noah helped Arlo and I gain some tools and confidence getting in and being in the trailer. Met some new friends as well and definitely want to come back again soon! 10/10
