WHAT IS BIOSECURITY?
Before we can discuss ways to keep horses safe, we must first define what Biosecurity means.
Biosecurity is a set of management principles, actions, precautions and procedures that protect the health of animals by minimizing the transmission of potentially infectious diseases.
Like us on all of the socials TikTok, Instagram, & Facebook to follow along for this Biosecurity series!

Equestrian Ethics & Etiquette Part 8: Clinic Spectating
It is very important that as a spectator you remain within the parameters set forth by the facility in order to audit the clinician.
The seating has been strategically placed so that nobody gets hurt- horse, rider, nor spectator if not permanent. Horses are sometimes very unpredictable. I have seen horses disregard barriers. Avoid distractions to both yourself and horses by making sure all cellphones are on silent.
These tips will help ensure your safety & learning.

Grand Slam Equestrian had a fantastic HOME OPENER today for the Virginia Kelsall Memorial Trail Ride! It was a great, successful start to our season!
I have never been more proud of my horses and my students than I was today! 🥰 We crossed water, walked up & down steep hills, galloped 3 War Horses at the same time, and most importantly we enjoyed each others company!
With expert organization & preparation everything ran very smoothly. I was very impressed with how quickly we got the horses cared for back at home before the rain joined us.
Thank you to our partner organization, TRRAC - Thoroughbred Retirement, Rehabilitation and Careers for homing these three War Horses with us!

WATER 101:
Welcome to #behindthebarndoor with #grandslamequestrian! Here we discuss #weatherconditions and water consumption for your #horses.
Horses need to consume 5-10 gallons of clean, fresh, water daily. A common misconception, horses actually need to consume more in the winter than the summer.
While I have automatic waterers in my barn, they do not track daily consumption like traditional water buckets and my own two eyes.
Knowing how much each individual horse in the barn drinks daily is very important. I am a part of the daily care of my horses and am their greatest advocate. Knowing their normal mannerisms can often prevent an emergency before it becomes one, such as colic.
Water consumption can tell many other things about a horse’s health with daily observation & under the guidance of a licensed veterinarian.

Welcome to #behindthebarndoor with #grandslamequestrian! Here we discuss #weatherconditions and how to prevent #frozenpipes in the barn.
Knowing the construction of your barn and the temperature it holds steady at is critical. Here, I place straw bales on my weather side to prevent air from entering under the barn doors. This is not necessary on my other end as the weather is less mild there.
This helps keep the warmth of the horses body heat in the barn which in turn helps prevent frozen pipes & buckets. Even with this method in place over #Christmas, I still had a top layer of ice on my buckets.

Welcome to #behindthebarndoor with #grandslamequestrian! Here we discuss #weatherconditions, brief #barnconstruction and #ventilation.
The amount of ventilation a barn receives dramatically impacts the blanketing routines.
If you are thinking of building your own facility, study the weather patterns as they relate to the land. It’s important that structures provide adequate shelter and proper ventilation naturally.
A well ventilated barn will keep horses happy and healthy year-round, but especially during the winter months. #unicornsliveatgrandslamequestrian #grandslamequestrian #winterweather #equestrianlife #barnbuild #nodust #equestrian

Mandy, I hope these tips help you with your new tall boots! When I purchased my first pair of @ariatequestrian tall boots they did not have zippers! We have come a long way as an industry. Who can relate and remembers the days of boot pulls? 👢#ariatboots #grandslamequestrian #tallboots #equestrianstyle #equestrian #ridingattire #ridingequipment #professionalequestrian
Getting properly fitted for the most important piece of equipment is critical in our sport. As a professional rider & trainer I am partial to my preferred brands for myself & my clients. However, I make sure clients are properly outfitted for their head shape and hair. I actually go with them for the fittings!
It is important that you not follow a trend, but rather what best fits for added #safety
Even the best horses can & will spook. Wearing a helmet shows that you take this sport seriously.
Thank you to Matthew and the many team members at @doversaddleryhockessin who have helped me over the years, even before turning Pro. The most wonderful associates are now providing their expertise to my clients. My heart is so full 💚

This video was prompted by a video I saw that a FFA teacher posted on TikTok.
I have my degree in education, but I just use it differently these days. I work outside of a traditional classroom setting.
As a young professional, myself included, you are constantly resume building. Being a small business owner is certainly not easy, but I truly love what I do.
My best advice is to go work for as many people as you can that are excellent at what they do before deciding if owning your own business is for you. Sometimes you have to be willing to do what nobody else wants to do- that’s how you get a ‘leg up’ for yourself in this life & within this industry.
One of the hardest lessons I have recently learned is that you have to make a lot of sacrifices starting out and even as you continue on your path.
Here’s my take on #education and #tradeschoolvscollege
I think we need to keep more Ag people in the agriculture industry. The trades are critical to our industry. Equipment constantly breaks down which delays production and cuts into profit margins.
