Well…this evening at The Mending Post we had a little surprise rodeo 🤦‍♀️

I showed up to feed and quickly realized the bulls, Bucky and Big Horn, had decided they were done with fences for the day. Meanwhile, they're giving me the most perfect “uh oh… mom caught us” look 😂.

In their adventure, they managed to knock over hay bales and dump the horses’ water trough, because why not go all out, right?

Could I have gotten upset? Absolutely.
Angry? Yep.
Thrown my hands up and called it a day? Tempting.

But I didn’t.

Instead, I took a deep breath, looked at what I had to work with, and made a plan. I snuck into their pen, opened the gate, and put on my rodeo clown hat 🤠

One bull at a time, some pressure, a little running and cutting, and my best “mom voice”, and I got everyone back where they belonged.

Then it was time to haul water, pound T-posts, fix fence, and restack hay. Not exactly glamorous…but in the middle of all that, I got to watch the sunset and spend a little time with Buddie and Rimson, and honestly, it filled my soul in a way that’s hard to explain.

I was out there laughing and running around looking like a crazy lady…but I enjoyed it.

And that’s the thing about equine-assisted services…

The horses (and apparently the bulls too 😅) don’t let us avoid frustration. They give us real-life, in-the-moment opportunities to practice patience, regulate our emotions, and choose how we respond instead of reacting.

Today wasn’t about things going perfectly, it was about staying grounded when they didn’t.

That’s where the real work happens.
That’s where growth happens.

And sometimes… it even comes with a sunset and a pretty great story.

If you’re interested in equine-assisted services, we’d love to have you come out. Just know, some days you might get peaceful moments with horses…and some days you might get an unexpected cardio workout 😅

Either way, you’ll leave with a full heart, a clearer mind, and probably a good story to tell.

Millie said, “Let me handle your content mom…” 😏🐴

While I was picking her feet, this sly little mare pulled my phone out of my back pocket, dropped it…and THEN somehow managed to snap a selfie from underneath.

We talk a lot about awareness, connection, and being present in equine assisted services, and Millie clearly understood the assignment better than I did in that moment. Horses are incredibly intuitive and curious. They notice everything…even the things we think are tucked safely away (apparently, back pockets aren’t safe 😂).

Sometimes, growth happens in the most unexpected (and hilarious) ways. Today’s lesson? Stay present, stay grounded…and maybe double-check your pockets around clever mares like Millie.

At The Mending Post, even the horses have a way of reminding us to slow down, be mindful, and embrace the moment, selfies and all 💛

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

There’s something about dusk out here that just settles everything…

The sun slowly slipping behind the horizon, horses quietly eating, dogs playing without a care, and that light, cool breeze wrapping around you, it hits you just right. The kind of moment you didn’t even realize you needed until you finally feel it.

This is the space where healing begins.

At The Mending Post, these simple, grounded moments are part of the work we do through equine-assisted services. Slowing down, being present, and reconnecting, with yourself, with nature, and with something deeper.

Sometimes it’s not about doing more… it’s about finally having the space to just be. 🤍

Something special is coming to The Mending Post this summer… 🐴✨

Our herd has been hard at work behind the scenes (and soaking up peaceful moments like Rimson here 💛), getting ready for a season full of connection, growth, and a little bit of magic.

This summer, we’ll be offering opportunities for:
🌿 Kids to build confidence and leadership with horses
🌿 Families to reconnect and strengthen bonds
🌿 Veterans and first responders to find space to reset and recharge
🌿 Community events that bring people and horses together in meaningful ways

Time spent grooming, leading, learning, laughing, and just being with the herd.

We’re not sharing all the details just yet…but trust us, it’s going to be something really special.

More information (and registration details) will be coming next month 👀

Until then, we’ll be out here, just like Rimson, enjoying the quiet moments and getting everything ready for you. 🐴 ❤️

Lefty was watching closely…maybe too closely. 👀

Apparently he saw Mom putting the T-post covers on and decided to lend a hoof. His version of helping sounded a lot like:

“Don’t worry Mom, I saw you put these on…I’ll take them off for you.”

Mission accomplished. ✔️
T-post cover removed.

Lefty keeps us laughing around here and reminds us how curious, observant, and interactive our equine partners truly are. Sometimes the best lessons (and laughs) happen when the horses decide to take the lead. 🐴💛
