Near and far, horses and a passion for healthy healing has brought us all together 🥰

I finally got to spend a few minutes with my horses this evening as I braided their manes in a hope to help keep their necks cooler. I had planned to ride, but as I went to tack up they were already in a full sweat. So, I didn’t.

This year hasn’t at all gone how I imagined it would with shows and riding. When I can, the weather doesn’t cooperate. Or else, the calendar is full with other things. It’s okay, our time will come. They’re yawning as I write this because they just finished eating their herbs.

I still have yet to shower, eat my own dinner and package herbs that will ship out to my amazing customers, tomorrow. 🩷🖤

The geriatric horses love the back support that muscle tape provides 🩷🖤

Maverick here, gave a sigh of relief after the application. This was his most tender spot I found which is why I chose to tape it. The tape is an extension of my hands that works long after I have left the barn.

Whose Responsibility is it for your Horse’s Posture?

“Your horse’s support team matters. Vets, bodyworkers, trainers, hoof care providers, saddle fitters and other professionals all have important roles. But there is one part of the picture that cannot be outsourced; the owners daily observations, choices, and postural work. Owner discernment also selects and reviews information that will will dictate horse management and choose the members of the broader team.
This episode is not aim to tell you to do better- but to bring awareness to how valuable you are to your horse. Your horse can only communicate through their behaviour, posture and movement and your ability to interpret their movement and behaviour is paramount.”

In this episode, we talk about:
* Why your role as the horse owner is irreplaceable. No one can play your role in your horse's care.
* Personal stories about our own horses when the path forward has not been clear
* How to advocate for your horse with the professionals around you
* Why bodywork is powerful and creates a postural opportunity, but regular postural influence maintains change
* What exercises, warm-ups and observations are yours to take responsibility for
* How taking responsibility includes self education and skill development
* Why curiosity matters more than judgement when reading your horse’s behaviour
