Tired of fighting with your husband over his poor hand signals?

Remember your horse didn’t sign up to help you accomplish your goals.

It depends, maybe, sometimes, no. Today was a Texas weather day. This morning it was drizzling and humid. When my 12p lesson started it was 70 degrees, sunny, 20mph south wind. Within 20 minutes the wind switched. Clouds rolled in. The temperatures plummeted. By 2p we were in 3-4 layers with actual temperature 49, windchill of 41. By 5p we are supposed to have windchills in the 30’s. We had barrels rolling across the arena, obstacles falling over, leaves racing along the grou

Is it too windy to ride? Probably not if your horse has been taught to be responsive instead of reactive. Your horse lives with Mother...

What were your horses doing in the wind today? Mine we grazing and napping. Did I ride? You betcha. They were great rides. Why? Mostly because I expected them to be. My attitude was appropriate. I believe in working horsemanship. That means my horses and I must be adjustable. That includes adjusting to weather. I even taught lessons.

I listened to a podcast from Dr. Declue this morning. She was discussing how to help your vet diagnose lameness. Dr. Declue spoke about her vision of a team for your horse. 1. Owner 2. Trainer 3. Horse and 4. Veterinarian.
