📣Attention owners of drafty horses:
Finding a grazing muzzle that truly fits a large horse can be challenging.
GG Equine is preparing an invite-only early access phase for warmbloods, drafts, and large-framed horses. This is a purchase-based opportunity designed to gather real-world input before a broader release.
If this sounds relevant to you, you can join their early access list through the link below (in comments for the algo)😉
Please share with any friends who need this extended sizing!

I’ve always been loud on my personal page but realize I haven’t been clear enough on the business side. I hope my particular brand of horsemanship makes it pretty easy to guess where I stand, but I also recognize that we’ve all been blindsided before at this point.
This isn’t me turning this into a political page, but speaking out against injustice and human rights violations isn’t “politics” anyways.
If my taking a stance bothers you, it might be time to sit and reflect on how consistently you apply your moral code to different situations.
☮️✌️🕊️
I love you guys. You are not alone out there - even in the south.

I don’t always trim for clients… but every now and then I will. It’s nearly impossible to “physical therapy” a horse back to soundness on feet like these, not to mention this horse was becoming so behaviorally challenging that the previous farrier was unable to complete the trims.
So and I teamed up for a “train and trim” and have been working together to get this horse on the right track. The left side is October and right side January 🤗 he is making such great progress - both physically and behaviorally.
I’m so proud of what we’ve already been able to accomplish and can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store!

2025? Never heard of her.
As the year winds to an end, we’re working on resting, resetting, and shaking off all of the old 💩 we’re shedding for the new year.
Buckle sends you all plenty of warm naps, cuddles, and time for nervous system resets before we head into 2026 🩵

One of the biggest mistake to make around horses, is also one of the most common habits I see in people.
It’s both the easiest thing to fix, and yet, the hardest habit to break for the majority of folks.
It’s often the reason why the horse is climbing on top of them, why the horse is jittery, unresponsive, “brainless” and can’t seem to “think” for itself.
What is this habit?
Micromanaging.
It’s the constant nagging…The unawareness that they’re repeatedly yerking on the horses halter and lead. The inability to just let the horse “be”. The constant need to keep their horse in check.
Most people don’t even realize they’re doing it. But if you watch them, you realize they never stop moving, never stop pushing or pulling on their horse, trying to influencing their every move and preventing them from doing.. something..
honestly half the times I’m not even sure what it is they’re trying to stop.
This usually comes down to a need to control.
The lack of control, scares people. Especially since we’re conditioned from the very beginning that a lack of control = dangerous. Micromanaging, is the way to feel like they have control.
However, if we look at this from the horses perspective, a prey animal where, feeling trapped = danger, this is going to cause a ton of issues.
I mean, even if you put yourself in that situation. Imagine if someone was constantly prodding you, pulling your arm this way and that way, or if you’re trying to look away to check something out you saw or heard, they immediately pulled your head back to face forward. Sounds pretty miserable right?
How long would it be before you started pushing back? Maybe you’ll just start ignoring most pressures? Or maybe you’ll become an anxious mess, constantly fidgeting due to overstimulation? Your response would likely depend on your personality. And this is exactly what is happening to the horses too!
The solution? As humans we have to learn to observe, to breathe, to let go, to act with intention and purpose, to be present, and to stop fearing what may happen.
Next time you’re around your horse, try to observe very closely what you’re actually doing with your body. And then ask yourself: “what is it that I actually want to achieve here? And is what I’m doing, actually helping my horse do what I ask? Or am I just reacting because I’m worried about what my horse *might* do?”

Physical Therapy for Equines and Equestrians in Middle TN
Born and raised in North Carolina, I moved to Nashville for graduate school in 2015. I received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Belmont University and my Equine Rehabilitation certification (CERP) from The University of Tennessee in Knoxville in 2018. I am also a PATH certified therapeutic riding instructor and I provide PT services utilizing hippotherapy for children at a local PATH Intl. facility. I currently live in Madison, TN and travel throughout middle TN (and sometimes beyond, just ask!) providing physical therapy services.
Physical therapy for people is now the norm after injury, surgery, neurological disease, to prevent future injuries or need for surgery, and even for performance enhancement for athletes. I believe the same should be true for horses. Physical therapy can increase strength, increase range of motion, reduce pain, improve function, prevent future injury and prevent the need for costly and invasive surgical procedures. PT can even help solve many common behavioral problems that are often related to pain such as girthiness, reluctance to bend, reluctance to turn, kicking out when asked to trot or canter, and the list goes on! I will work with your veterinarian to develop a plan tailored to your goals and your equine companion’s specific needs.
Do you have pain during or after riding? Do you have difficulty sitting the trot, keeping your heels down, or staying balanced through transitions? I can help with that, too! Many times our own asymmetries and weaknesses will cause similar changes in our horses that manifest as things like behavioral problems, difficulty picking up the correct lead, or poor impulsion. Unfortunately with horses, things are always our fault. Often fixing the rider is the most important step towards fixing the horse!
