• the purpose of horses manes

  If you don’t have long hair yourself you can always play with a horses’ mane. But, what is the purpose of their manes and a tail? I researched some general information and this is what is said about the mane and tail of a horse: I never braid my horse’s mane or tail. If I […]

• buried in positivity

  Positivity in a nasty way is what my husband and I are in. Recovering from a few days of COVID and hoping to test negative for it soon. Was out for a walk today and these horses were busy with their heads down chewing on the grass. …..life…..adapting…..health…..

• 3 fabulous reasons I ride

  I do like it when a horse is well trained and does everything I want and does not react or get his ears pinned back and turns and trots and canters only at my command. To be able to get that kind of horse ride is the process of consistent time with the horse. 3 […]

• The Look

  Horses have a certain look. The eyes are best to be looked at at the right or left side of their head, as horse eyes are really positioned on the side of their face. Humans’ eyes are straight on centre of our head. Horses aren’t great at full frontal viewing. I grabbed some photos that […]

  Horses on our acreage receive hay in the winter 3 times a day, and only in extreme cold and twice a day otherwise . Also some alfalfa pellets and oats as a snack midday. Horses should be fed little food a few times a day. I need to follow that program! Eat little bits throughout […]

• the weather is better

  The evenings are amazing for weather. My husband and I spend a lot of our evenings with our horses. When we have unsaddled our horses they get to eat green grass for a few minutes. Green grass in middle of September? We had 11 inches of rain in a matter of a few days a […]

• writing is a curious thing

  Story writing. Protagonist (lead character) and Antagonist (evil person). How evil is the bad guy? How many challenges will the Protagonist (lead character) have?. What does the lead character learn at the end? I am practicing writing a novel for my own learning and I am taking it seriously as if a publisher is waiting […]

• My Horse and I

  

  It’s not easy being in a relationship with someone. A horse is no different. Doing something together as a team is communication personified. I get you and you get me. That is the final result when you know it is up to you to make it last. I needed to relearn some things and figure my horse’s understanding of what I need, what I want. It’s a beautiful ride when it gets figured out.
