New clients may wonder why a trainer cross trained and certified in body work spends so much time here during intake assessments.

This write and well made set of illustrations may help clear a bunch of that up.

It’s not to say the hind isn’t a big deal, it’s just that I can tell a lot from starting here on your horse while talking to you.

In late 2024 I drove by a house I’d driven by every day for a while. I saw the human just sitting outside of the shelter, but the horse wasn’t there anymore.

My husband wanted to know what I was crying about when I came home. I said her horse died.

“Lemme get this straight, you think because you saw her sitting outside the barn but not the horse, that horse died?”

Yep.

“How do you know? That’s a little much don’t you think? To just jump to the conclusion that her horse died?”

I just know. I know that sit and I’m sad for her.

“You don’t even know her babe, cmon.”

I don’t need to, losing your horse is a special kind of pain. Only horse people know it, and her horse died. I can just tell.

Husband 🙄 ok.

Well, today I met her. Not only is she a sweetheart, but I was right. Her horse had an aneurysm and died on the day I’m referring to.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. Trust your gut.
Get off your horse and walk if you think something is wrong.
Call the vet when you know the horse is off.

Be nice to people even when you aren’t sure why they need it. Horse people have an intuition that simply cannot be explained outside our realm 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m ok with that.

You don’t have to torture your horse to have communication with them.

If you’ve ever considered a rig like this for your riding, but you’re interested in discussing how to actually communicate with your horse, we have a couple openings over the winter.

There is nothing kind or ethical about this and rigs like this one. Let’s figure out what’s going on with you and your horse and let’s fix it by rebuilding your horse’s confidence.

Being able to look at your horse with confidence, see the dysfunction, know where it’s coming from and put your hands/fingers exactly where they need to go to help? 💴

Seeing the horse instantly hang their head in relief? PRICELESS.

Becoming a certified body worker is without question worth 10x its weight in gold.

Writing your own rehab plan as well? Also priceless.

I’m sure the vet also appreciates not hearing from me unnecessarily as well ❤️

There’s a big sorrel butt in these photos that can demonstrate why being a healer not just a trainer is best for her 👀

I specifically buy from, ride with, even pay for lessons with, other equine professionals I trust.

I have a LONG list of nasty personalities I won’t recommend my clients to, but I make sure to invest in those whom I trust and want to see succeed. I focus my energy on those I’d recommend not those that are a questionable humans or who have a sh*tty attitude and enjoy gossip.

There’s a reason for that. It’s widely accepted that you become like the 5ish people with whom you spend most of your time.

You can be around those cheering for and investing in others, who are good and safe and ethical to their horses, or you can be part of the nasty drama. 🎭

Surround yourself and your horses with those who genuinely make you want to be a better person. The rest will sort itself out ❤️

Are We Cheering?

A rare occurrence happened last weekend; I was able to take my daughters to a horse obstacle competition. With my job, weekends are usually spent on the road at clinics, etc., so they don't get to go many places to compete. My girls took their trusted partners, and I took my 3-year-old, Boon, so he could get some exposure; might as well, we were going.

Both of my girls had really good runs, earning them good scores, better scores than Dad. I was so happy that they put into practice the things we work on. Boon was able to work through some really good things, and he made great progress. In short, I was there for that very purpose: to have some fun as I could cheer for my girls.

Here is where it was interesting, and it is something I have thought about since then. Do we cheer for everyone, or just for what we want based on our own selfishness?

Multiple people made comments about how my daughters beat their dad. I even entered them in the same class as me, the advanced, so that we all could be challenged and ride through all of the obstacles. One even asked how the ride home would go now that they beat me. To that, I answered, "No one cheers for my girls louder than I do!"

So my question is, do we cheer for others in general, specifically those close to us? Or do we really hope that they do well, just not as well as us?

In this crazy ride called life, I believe we should want the best for everyone, whether there is something in it for me or not.

A client notified me today that this young man is an important member of our local horsemanship community.

Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

A Montana man was attacked by a bear Monday afternoon southwest of Augusta and now faces surgery at a Great Falls hospital.
