We certainly love incorporating our SURE FOOT pads!

SURE FOOT Pads vary in density from Hard to Soft, providing a wide range of pattern variation for your horse to experience. The SURE FOOT Pads challenge your horse’s balance, activate proprioception, work the small postural muscles, and creates awareness. The degree of difficulty depends on the Pad density and number of hooves placed on Pads. Once the horse is familiar with SURE FOOT the pattern can be varied on any given day depending on the horse’s condition, medical history, and desired effect.

We had a fun day of education on Friday at Afton Stables with Murdoch Method! Wendy always has such a unique bag of tricks for each horse and rider. We enjoyed watching her incorporate the SURE FOOT pads too! We certainly love our pads. Make sure to check them out when there is another one hosted. We cannot wait!

As I sat here this evening in the midst of this beautiful sunset I paused and reflected on all the wonderful things that have happened in the last couple years.

I married my husband who has been so supportive when it comes to the farm and the healing/education center we are building here. We have made a lot of farm improvements, including new fencing and today we finalized the plans for more fencing, pens, and the riding ring. My business has naturally grown and evolved in a relatively short time and I can’t wait for what is on the horizon.

I am immensely grateful for all of the horses and people that came into my life and taught me all that I know and continue to learn. The last couple of years have really been filled with amazing new friends and a support system like no other. I look forward to the future and can’t wait to empower more horse owners and horses on their journey.

Today was the first time we set up at an event and it went so well. The Powerful Horse Expo by Hope Horsemanship was a great collaborative effort and we look forward to its growth as well!

We are beyond grateful for our wonderful farrier and all she does to support the wellbeing of the horses here. Make sure you thank your farrier this week!

This week is National Farriers Week! We say thank you to all the farriers out there who take care of our horses' hooves. We recommend listening to The Humble Hoof if you want to learn more about what farriers do for their jobs.

We stacked 200 bales of tested multi species grass hay this morning. Happy tracking for the horses! 🥰 We appreciate our hay farmers so much!
