✨You can fake calm with people.
✨You can smile through nerves. Say “I’m fine” when you’re not.
✨But your horse?
They know better.

✨Before your hands ever lift the reins,
before your legs give a cue,
they’ve already felt you.

The tension in your breath.
The doubt behind your focus.
The pressure you’re putting on yourself.
They feel it all — not as judgment, but as information.

✨That’s why the real work isn’t just in your hands or your seat.
✨It’s in your energy.
✨Your presence.
✨Your ability to breathe through the nerves and ride with clarity — not chaos.

🐎So if your horse is acting out,
pause before you correct.
💕Check in with your own state first.
Because what you bring to the saddle is what they ride with.

And the more honest you are with yourself,
the more your horse will trust you.

If Sarah carries 5 flakes of hay while wearing 2 jackets and a turtleneck, what percentage will end up in her bra? What if it’s “the good bra you don’t wear to the barn but did today”?

Sharon put an ad out for an OTTB who needs an experienced rider. How many inquiries per day to ask if the horse is “beginner safe”?

Cath needs to "quickly" check her horses before work. If she's in her work uniform, what are the chances they've busted through the electric tape and are in the hay paddock requiring her to walk through the boggy gully in her navy blue work pants and trainers? Part b - what is the likelihood of the same breakout happening on a day she has her gumboots in the car?
🤣🐴😂


Suzan has a show on Saturday. How many shoes does her horse lose Friday night?

Mary is running late for her lesson.
Did her horse...
A.) roll in the mud.
B.) go swimming in the pond.
C.) lose one or more shoes

Sarah decides she finally saved enough for a second horse. From the moment she speaks this out loud, how long will it take for her current horse to have a medical emergency costing every bit of said saved $??

Jolene has a 9:00 AM doctors appointment and it is sleeting outside and windy. There are 2 Paints, 1 Haflinger, 2 mules and a half-Arab in the pasture. Which one will colic and which one will get out of the fence?

The outstanding balance has been paid off at the vet clinic. How many hours until Joe has to call the vet for an emergency?

If Suzy is looking forward to show season and her horse is feeling confident and prepared, how much will the vet bill be for the pasture accident that puts him out of commission til next season??

If Amanda buys a custom saddle for her show horse, how long before that horse sustains a career ending injury?

Karen puts a sale ad up for a mid-5 figure horse. How many people will ask about price ($45k - low side of mid 5) and then say its “way out of my budget”?

If Christina posts a funny meme about vets and such, how long before her horse injures himself?
Answer: about 8 hours 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I can’t take credit for all of these, but they sure did have me rolling this morning!
