In case you missed it — our amazing mom, Dr. Wendy Rice, spent last week competing at the National Horse Show in Lexington, KY! 🐴💪

While she and our brother Jurrney were out there chasing goals, we took a little time to relax and cheer them on from the sidelines. 💛

Sometimes, it’s good for your mental health to sit back, soak it all in, and let others shine. 🌟

Show day behind the scenes at the National Horse Show!

Today is age-group 3’ equitation day for the THIS Adult Medal Finals in the Alltech Arena. Jurrney and I had a quiet 6:00–6:20 AM school so he could take in the ring—he felt happy and cooperative.

This afternoon I’ll go 17th in two consecutive 3’ classes, followed by the flat (walk–trot–canter). I shared quick clips from walking my courses with trainer Lauren Schweppe plus the course diagrams so you can follow along.

As a psychologist and the creator of The ADD Equestrian, I’m using the same tools I teach my clients—set the intention (rhythm), preview the track, one breath per jump, simple reset words at the in-gate. I truly walk the talk because it works.

Huge thanks to Emily Rodgers and Lauren Schweppe for today’s prep and care for Jurrney. 🤍

Estimated start: ~5:00 PM ET
Focus for today: rhythm • track • breathe

Cheer us on below and share your favorite in-gate reset!

last show before heading to the National Horse Show in Lexington, Kentucky for the THIS Adult Medal Finals next week! 🐴💫

It was such a blast showing my horse, Jurrney, and the best practice partner, Apollo (owned by Meadowood Farm). We finished as Reserve Champion in two divisions — extra fun! 🏆

This weekend, we treated the jumper courses as equitation finals practice rounds — focusing on position, rhythm, and rideability over speed.

A little reminder when you’re watching others compete: you never know what their personal goals are. Some ride to win, others to learn, build confidence, or prepare for what’s next. 💪💛

According to research from Gallup, children whose strengths are recognized and encouraged are six times more likely to be engaged in school and three times more likely to thrive later in life. Focusing on what they do well builds confidence, motivation, and resilience that lasts far beyond one marking period.

In our most recent blog, Dr. Rice shares two parents’ very different reactions to the same report card—one that ends in frustration and one that ends in connection.

The difference? Just a few words.

Today’s White House event on autism was filled with dangerous claims and misleading information that sends a confusing message to parents and expecting parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals.

We know autism is complex, highly variable and increasingly linked to genetics. Individualized plans, often involving a combination of developmental, behavioral, educational and social-relational strategies, can help improve outcomes that are meaningful to individuals and families. We also need and welcome additional investments in federally funded research to better support families of autistic children.

Families who have questions about their child’s medications, autism care plans or other health care should consult with their pediatrician or health care provider.

🐾 Milo & Marty Monday just got even better! Today we have a special guest—our amazing mom, Dr. Wendy Rice. 💛

Her message today, is this:
✨ Following your passions isn’t just about chasing dreams—it’s about protecting your mental health too. 🧠💛 For many of us, the barn is where stress fades, purpose grows, and healing begins. 🐎🌿

Whether it’s riding, grooming, or simply being near horses, doing what you love reminds you that caring for your mind and spirit matters.

We all strive to be our best selves, but sometimes it can be challenging to navigate certain nuances—like the difference between confidence and cockiness. While we all want to appear confident, it’s important to recognize where confidence ends and cockiness begins.

Though they may seem similar, confidence and cockiness impact your mental health and relationships very differently. True confidence empowers and energizes, uplifting both you and those around you. Cockiness, however, can quietly erode self-esteem and create strain in your connections with others.

In our most recent blog, we explore the difference between confidence and cockiness, and provide tips on how to develop authentic confidence that supports personal growth, and improve self-awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being.

🐾 Therapy dogs do more than bring smiles—they help lower stress, ease anxiety, and create a sense of safety. Sometimes healing begins with a gentle nudge of a wet nose or the quiet comfort of a dog resting by your side. 💛
