Feeling guilty for not doing much with your horse lately?

Are you wondering if you’re “wasting your horse’s potential” or if they would be better off in a different home?

I hear these doubts from horse lovers everywhere. And truthfully, I have struggled with these same questions.

Here’s what you need to ask yourself 👇

1️⃣ Does your horse have FRIENDS (shared fence or same pasture), FORAGE (24/7 access), FREEDOM (to move around as they choose around the clock), SAFETY (from the elements and from danger or frightening things), COMFORT(physically, mentally, emotionally), and FUN (opportunities to engage in enrichment, play with companions, changes of scenery from time to time)?

2️⃣ Can you afford to support these needs? Even if you can be there every day or even if it’s not high end/luxury accommodations (which horse’s don’t care about anyway), are you financially and physically able to support providing them these needs in the first one?

If the answer is yes to both of those, or you’re working on it/providing a version of it, then the answer is …

NO 🙅‍♀️

➡️ You’re not wasting your horse’s potential

Horses are designed to be horses. Their wish in life is to live as a horse is supposed to live. Not to compete, not the achieve medals and trophies, not to backpack across the country, not to do anything other than *be* a horse. 🐴

NO 🙅‍♀️

➡️ Your horse wouldn’t be better off in a different home.

You are already a one of a kind, rare home tbh. There are not many homes that offer horses those two things. Don’t fool yourself into believing there’s better out there. There *might* be, but usually those homes are already full with other horses who didn’t have what your horse already has with YOU. ❤️

Does this mean there’s never a time where a horse should be rehomed? No, it doesn’t mean that. There are exceptions, but in general you are probably providing the home your horse most needs.

I would love to see the equestrian community as a whole to shift towards meeting the needs of the horse being our primary goal as caregivers. And as long as we are doing that, everything is as it should be.

So stop beating yourself up equine caregiver. You are doing an amazing job. 👏

If a horse is not a naturally relaxed horse by nature then relaxation needs to be taught.

The Anchor Button™️ is something I train & develop which can be conditioned well enough to trigger relaxation on cue 😴

This is useful to have for those moments when your horse might spook or get its adrenaline up.

The Anchor Button, if developed correctly, will help to bring your horse off adrenaline quicker in order to get back to the focused riding and calm, relaxed movements quicker. 👏👏🐴

The fancy words:
Sympathetic vs Parasympathetic state of the nervous system

Difference between Sympathetic & Parasympathetic Nervous System.

The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for the “fight or flight” response during any potential danger.

The parasympathetic nervous system inhibits the body from overworking and restores the body to a calm and composed state - REST & DIGEST or EAT & BREED 🤓

Sorry, I totally borrowed “Pegasus wept.” from The Equine Observer. It’s just so fitting.
