Hare's Meadow Farm Equine Wellness Helping Horses Thrive Naturally First and foremost, it began with tragedy. It was sad to hear because she was so young and spirited and seemed so full of talent.

Flora’s Legacy
FOR LOVE OF THE HORSE·WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2018·
I’ve been putting off posting my journey to natural horse care for a number of reasons. However, it is important to me that what happened to Flora becomes a learning experience and that she is always remembered. Flora was a 2 year old thoroughbred filly with a personality that was unlike any other horse I have ever met. She was involved in a tragic accident that left her with a broken coffin bone and fractured sesamoid bone. The vet at the time was optimistic that she could heal but she would never have a career. I had a friend who had recently healed her broken foot rapidly and naturally with homeopathy and supplements. I called her that night and made a list. I also looked up everything I could on healing sesamoid and coffin bones. I found a few things that looked very promising and spoke with her owner (a close friend of mine) about implementing them. She was on board and we got started. Flora’s situation became more complicated when her hoof capsule started to come off and there was infection as well. Again I scoured the internet and ended up finding Angie from Equine Essential Wellness. She stressed the importance of clean nutrition, and gave me some information on a few supplements that would help assist with the infection and hoof issue. Unfortunately, we were never able to implement them. Flora was euthanized a few days later. I remember how sad I was when the supplements arrived in the mail a few days after she was gone. I never wanted to feel that helpless ever again. So I began reading and taking online courses and implementing what I learned with my mare Harley. I eventually took her off the synthetics and fortified grains. I wanted her to have a great foundation so that if she ever came across a health concern or injury, she would have the best chance. Now, my mission is to help as many horses and their owners as possible. I always come from a place of love for the horse and compassion for their owners. I understand how scary it can be to revamp your horse’s nutrition and care so I don’t get pushy or judgy. I do however encourage everyone reading this to educate themselves on their feed and supplement choices. It took the injury and death of a friend’s beloved horse to put me on this path of natural horse care. It is my strong hope that this path leads to saving others. Flora will have a special place in my heart for as long as I live. Thanks for reading! Tonya~ The Happy Horse Chick

All of our biggest fears while hauling is getting in an accident. Last night there was a horrific accident in bradenton florida. A local business that does beach rides was heading home after a day of rides. They had several horses in the rig. They were t-boned and the entire rig ended up upside down in a ditch. One horse was killed immediately and the others are severely injured. Both people in the truck are currently in the hospital.

Remove Horses from the Olympics: End Abuse by Pro Riders

Horses are miraculously designed by nature to thrive on their own. Since captivity however, humans have deeply impacted their quality of life. There are measurable and predictable consequences when we fail to provide the essential ingredients to compliment nature's design. By aligning with this mand...

This is one reason why we work alongside horses.
Add to this the fact that a prey animal is willing to assist a predator in balancing our emotions, developing leadership skills, communication skills, relationship skills, teamwork, body language skills, problem solving skills, compassion and so much more.
All of these things that naturally exist in a herd for their very survival, they are wanting to teach us if we know how to listen.
I cannot wait to get started.

I’ll be taking guinea pig clients soon
Let me know if you’re interested 🤩

I think it’s time we start doing better for these amazing creatures They are so forgiving and deserve better

Exactly...Such a sad screaming contrast in this picture between the smiling human face and the horse's expression... There just can be no fun at all if it means to make someone else suffer 💔

What is one thing your horse has taught you?

05/03/2024

I just love this
I have FINALLY found a “natural horsemanship” trainer that actually puts the horse first.
I have learned so much about the true nature of horses and so many people really need to update how they view these incredible creatures.
There is so so much more to them than we’ve been taught

This👇🏼

To the person who is about to judge..
.the woman with the skinny, underweight horse. Did you know this horse was rescued at an auction three weeks ago, in a horrible condition? That she has already spent $$$$ on vet and dentist visits since then? That this horse has already started to gain weight? That this horse greets her everyday with a gentle nicker, and is growing in confidence every day they are together?
.the girl who’s always at the yard with her horse, rain or shine. Did you know that she is being bullied at work by her boss? Did you know that spending time with her horse is her way to get away from it all? That being with her horse is her way of surviving?
. the girl who hasn’t ridden her three year old mare yet. Did you know that even though her barn friends sneer at her, she refuses to ride her horse this year and instead will wait at least another year or longer, while doing groundwork instead? Did you know that she knows that the earliest a horse’s back is fully mature is 5.5 years of age at the minimum? Did you know how much it hurts to be the ‘odd one out’ when everyone else at her barn is already riding their 2 and 3 year olds?
.the girl who never canters her horse. Did you know that she started riding again recently for the first time in 24 years? That owning her first ever horse is a lifelong dream come true? That she regularly feels scared and nervous before she rides, but she tacks up anyway? Did you know that every day a tiny piece of her worry disappears, and she feels moments of true happiness?
.the girl walking on foot beside her horse. Did you know that this horse can no longer be ridden? That he retired due to health issues? Did you know that he loves his daily walks? That he feels valued and special on these walks? Did you know that by spending that time with her horse, it has helped this girl cope with a very nasty divorce and toxic home environment?
.the girl doing groundwork with her horse in the arena. Did you know that she has learned that true collection will help improve her horse’s long term physical health, and that it doesn't include forcing your horse to hold an unnaturally low head position? That she committed to begin teaching her horse shoulder out and in on the ground, because it is one of the best ways to begin collection with her horse?
. the girl who uses a bitless bridle. Did you know that when a bit is put into her horse's mouth, it hits off her horse’s canine teeth and causes him pain? Or tthat since she switched to a bitless bridle, her horse has become much more relaxed and happy? Did you know that even though she competes in local shows anymore, that she will never put a bit in her horse’s mouth again?

So, to the person who is about to judge.. Don’t.
