I am making my way to Illinois today to work with 2 very nice horses. I've had horses graduate from my work down there, and I am looking for a few more to make a full day!
Please get in touch with me for information.

One of the more common hallmarks of craniosacral dysfunction is the front leg posturing behind the shoulder. It will not appear at all times, but it will appear when the horse assumes a calm, relaxed posture. When they have been standing in one place for a while and decide to consider a way of standing, that is their waiting posture.
This front-leg "camped under" is often accompanied by the hind-legs "camping under." This creates the "goat on a rock" look.
It is detrimental to the horse's health and contributes to injuries over the long term.
The first consideration is the added stress on the flexor tendons.

This week, Wednesday's favorite thing might be just a little late on the cold front. It is going to be so nice today! We are in Wisconsin, after all. There will be opportunities yet.
Enjoy your day!

Or maybe you want to think about it.
It would be so helpful if we commonly shared a language.

Our SNOW could be gone in a few days...

The trouble with dental progressions is that it’s not right out there “in your Face”. So horse people let it slide or aren’t even aware that their horse is being dis-serviced on teeth.

Brrrrrr... I won't be out working today in the sub-zero temperatures.
But I'll be back at it as soon as the weather warms up.
Stay warm, people and horses. Pay extra attention to your animals' comfort and safety these days!

It's just a simple string, but it has been a favorite, nicer way to communicate with a horse. Softness in hand contributes to softness under saddle.

The feet in the pictures are all great-looking feet. Every style of hoof care has its place. Dialogue between owners, with reasoning about their own horses' farriery, is a helpful discussion for those learning the best way to keep horses.
Share your story if you have had to rehab a horse's feet.
Please do contribute to the conversation on how your horse is most comfortable with their hooves.
