Well some of you will already know of Sid, who came to the yard as a kitten to be a mouser. She was apparently the least affectionate one of the litter. Well that didn’t last long as she loves cuddles. 🥰 Now the yard has sadly sold she packed her little bag and came to live with me yesterday. I think she’s settled in very well don’t you? 😍😘

Clipping season is upon us!! What are your thoughts on clipping? To clip or not to?

Please remember clipping is not a fashion accessory or there for aesthetics. Clipping has a specific purpose related to health and wellbeing of your horses rather than ‘just take it all off as I won’t have to deal with hair falling out come spring’

Clipping was brought in to keep the horse healthy.
• To prevent overheating in exercise,
• to help prevent loss of condition through excess sweating from exercise.
• to help dry quicker & prevent horse catching a chill

Yes it will cut down on grooming time too.

Please remember that the horse grows a coat for a reason, to help regulate temperature during colder months. Clip only as necessary for the work load of your horse / pony. There are so many variations of clips and each one can be bespoke to your horse / pony’s needs.

Horses are naturally more comfortable in their own coats than too many rugs that compensate for over clipping.

With horses (as most things in life) we should always be open to learning, rethinking, adapting and improving. You can only do better when you know how. Never stop your willingness to learn.

Iv’e seen a few posts lately on grooming, how often? how much? Quick flick? Just the muddy bits? Grooming is so much more than just cleaning the coat to look good or enough to tack up, it has a host of benefits to the horse’s health & an early warning system to brewing soreness.

Please find time and a way to groom for the good of your horse and your bond ❤️🏇

When you regularly use your equine therapy products on yourself 🤣
I need it more than them 😖
Red light is amazing to promote healing.

“I’ll ride next week.”
“I’ll ride when it’s warmer.”
“I’ll ride when I have more time.”
But time doesn’t wait. Horses don’t live forever.

One day, without warning, the last ride comes —
and you don’t even know it was the last.

No more lazy Sunday hacks.
No more wind in your hair as hooves drum steady down your favorite trail.
No more soft nickers as you walk toward the gate.
No more saddle in your hands, no more breath shared in silence.

The track you loved will grow quiet.
The tack will gather dust.
And all you’ll wish for is one more ride.

So ride now.
Ride like it's your goodbye.
Like the goals can wait, but the moments can’t.
Pat him a little longer. Hug him a little tighter. Say the words out loud:
“You’re my heart. You’re my once-in-a-lifetime.”

Because one day, your hands won’t find that mane.
And you’ll give anything to feel that rhythm beneath you just one more time.

So ride. Not for ribbons. Not for perfection.
Ride for love.
Ride for memories.
Ride for the day when "tomorrow" never comes.

Fun fact - This thin muscle that covers your horse’s body is the reason they are so sensitive and can feel a fly land on them.
It doesn’t cover their neck or below the knees & hocks, hence they give different responses in these areas.
