I have been putting off writing this post because I've not been able to come up with words that describe just how much I love our new look and how much I appreciate all the hard work that went into creating it!

With help from the AMAZING ALT Art & Design we were able to upgrade the current logo by tying in several new ideas while still preserving pieces of the original logo; which was very important since it was sketched specifically for me by a good friend!

The entire process was easy and practically effortless, which was a huge relief! I had been dreading trying to figure out what my next steps would be to improve my logo with the ideas I had! Amber was quick with her delivery of test ideas, digital updates, and she didn't bat an eye at the multitude of minor fixes and changes I requested! She even went as far as adding a personal touch to it, the hands in the logo are a digital replica of my own hands!

I can not recommend her enough if you are looking for someone to create a logo, rebrand your current one or any other kind of digital art! Check her out on Facebook, Instagram and her new website!

When your horse asks to be worked on, you always say yes.

At least she tries to reciprocate....🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

I think a common problem in the horse world is the normalization of poor movement patterns as a breed standard. I hear often, regarding the movement of a breed like an arabian, Dutch harness horse or Iberian as an example, “that’s just how they move! They’re flashy movers.” The problem is that people often mistake tension for flashy movement, and are studying the wrong movement model.

Just because these horses often are tense, does not mean it is correct for them to move in tension.

Certainly every horse will have their own unique balance, and require feel and mental flexibility from a rider developing them. It’s essential to not apply a cookie cutter model of movement to different horses.

However, if you understand the principles of good movement and can adjust your eye to different horse’s movement, you can see that all horses, regardless of breed, can move in balance, without tension in their backs.

Some might require a lot more elbow grease and time than others, and a smarter approach. But fluidity of movement and sound biomechanics is possible with every horse.

We hope that everyone has had a relaxing, safe and healthy start to the new year!

An INCORRECT outline.

❌ Back is hollow
❌ Hind legs are trailing out behind and not talking any weight
❌ Head is behind the vertical in hyperflexion/rollkur

To the untrained eye, people can think this looks "pretty," when in actual fact, it's painful.

Try it yourself... Go on your hands and knees, tuck your chin into your chest, arch your back, and move your knees out behind you. Then imagine a weight being placed on your back and having to move around for 30-60 minutes.

Aside from the discomfort, the horse will show signs of tension, be unable to over-track and develop self-carriage. The rider will have limited ability to bend the horse correctly, thereby making it very difficult to teach the horse higher-level movements, such as lateral movements.

If I had a dollar for every time someone did a small investigation into a problem and “rules out pain” - no, pain is still on the table and greatly affects behavior. EVEN if you can guarantee the pain is gone completely, FEAR of pain is still a very real thing! Along with compensation patterns, tightness, asymmetry-
You name it.
