'THEY DON'T CARE'!!! 🥰
That’s how I explain horses to potential new owners who inquire with me for advice. I don’t ever want to discourage someone from the adventure of owning horses. But I feel it is my responsibility as a horse woman to look out for their future horses by giving them the harsh reality.
They don’t care if you’re sick.
They don’t care if it’s 0 degrees
They don’t care if you don’t have the money this month.
They don’t care if you’re tired.
They don’t care if you had other plans.
They don’t care if it’s the holidays.
They don’t care if you’re at work.
They don’t care if it’s the middle of the night.
They depend on you. They need fed, every day multiple times a day. They need their stalls cleaned / turned out, every day. They need you to bust ice on freezing days, and bring extra water on hot ones. They need you to care for them when they’re sick, and they are FRAGILE. Seriously, they spend 75% of their life trying to die and vet bills are expensive.
But, it will be your greatest adventure. The right horse will care about you. They will care for you on days you need it most.
So, take lessons, come over and hang out with your horse friends for a day, volunteer to help them out. Make sure it’s something you want to commit to because they didn’t ask to be in your care.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Often when we humans want to reward our horse, we “pat” them, or “slap-pat” them. Here’s the thing, they DO NOT feel that as a reward.

Save the pats for your dogs, because they DO love them! But horses, they find the pats disruptive and often actually just end up tolerating them over time but they CANNOT feel reward in a pat.

Now, they CAN and DO feel reward in a rub. You’ve never seen horses pat each other on the back in the field, but you HAVE seen them nuzzle, groom and rub each other. Rubbing your horse is a GREAT way to show reward and give comfort to your horse.

It may seem less climatic, but that’s EXACTLY what your horse wants and is seeking; nice, calm and low energy.

So next time you visit with your horse, how are you going to reward them for a job well done? A pat or a rub?
