I was finally able to sit with my horse while she was resting and laying down enjoy the sun.
It was minus 14 so I didn't stay out very long but its been almost 10 years we have been able to do that.
Usually im so busy, I have a schedule I have to follow.
Being able to sit with her and watch the traffic together in the sun. Brought me back to being 15 again. I took my time I didn't have a million things to do. I didn't have a mental to do list rattling off on things in my head I had to get done. No one was expecting me at a certain time.
Just Time
One of the horse quotes that happen in this industry is act like you have all day and it'll be quick, act like you don't have time and it'll take longer.

17 years ago I got what I always wished for as a kid - My own little pony.
I picked her out of a herd and fell in love with her spirit. I remember being so excited I got her for my 15th birthday I was so shocked!
Over the last 17 years she's been my rock.
Been there for me as a teenager, first heart break, move, graduation, college, move again, trying to find where I'm supposed to belong.
Becoming a mother, raising my son, being a single mom, working lots, moving, dating, moving again, loss, health issues and carrying me through my depression and anxiety.
Last year almost losing her because of her fractured leg and major cut.
I love her spirit. Her stubbornness, determination, awareness and the need to run in open spaces - being free.
Every horse has a personality but my mare has always been spirited and selective in who she trusts. We mirror each other and im so blessed to have her as my rock and companion to carry me through tough times and the good times. โค

In person I am a certified Equi-Health Canada First Aid Instructor who teaches north of Saskatoon.
I teach horseback riding north of Saskatoon also. I have my Standard First Aid and CPR Level 1.
Why I teach people horse First Aid ?
I have been in similar situations where my horse got hurt and I had no idea what my next step was supposed to be. I was fighting the initial panic to try to keep my horse calm while I asked the closest person what to do. Hoping that the person who had horse experience knew what kind of product to use on a cut and the steps.
They did not. Although I washed off the product with water; the cut got worse and proud flesh (glandular tissue that prevents the scab to form correctly) began to form. A vet recommend me to scrape the proud flesh off by cold hosing it off a bit each day. Thankfully with the bond I have with my horse, she was patient enough to let me reopen her cut allowing it to heal properly.
With my background as a Firefighter and search and rescue. I knew that my mistake was not being prepared in the knowledge or having the supplies at hand to properly handle the cut. Thankfully from volunteering at a vet clinic when I was younger I had connections to ask for help.
I knew there was a better way and after flipping through the Equine Wellness Magazine I was reading I saw the Equi-Health Emergency First Aid Canada for horses. I looked at their site for a while and fell in love with the courses they where providing to other horse people. I realized that a lot of people where in similar situations. Becoming an instructor I now help people be prepared, have knowledge of the the supplies they need, and when to call the vet.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH HORSES
I began riding at OK Corral outside of Saskatoon and have been riding for the past 15 years. I love answering questions about horses and have dealt with minor emergencies with riders and their horses. I enjoy training horses and teaching people how to bond with their horses. I believe that the bond with my horse has saved her life and mine with past emergencies.
