Sunday, January 7, 2017 There isn’t a whole lot happening on the farm at the moment. Thankfully these sub-zero windchill days are dry and we don’t have feet of snow to trudge through on top of the bitter cold and wind. For the most part my mares seem content if not a little cranky andContinue reading “Windchill”

The great arena
Thursday, December 28, 2017 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! The bitter cold temps are setting in with a shiver. I am less die hard this winter to keep up a conditioning schedule and am encouraging some physical rest during the coldest days working on mental and basic retooling of some simple things. I didContinue reading “The great arena”
The skies I’m under
Wednesday, December 20, 2017 You may notice this blog is unusual in that I have no photos. It just happened that I didn’t have my phone on me for the ride and I didn’t do any video or photos before/after today. Today I loaded up the mare and went to meet a friend for aContinue reading “The skies I’m under”
Experiments in action
Monday, December 18, 2017 For those of you who have questioned my sanity lately you’re not alone. There have been times I’ve wondered if I’m on the right track myself. I did not end up on a solo ride Friday. I found two mares a little stir crazy with the cold wind and spent moreContinue reading “Experiments in action”
Rock & Roll
Friday, December 15, 2017 It’s been about two weeks since I committed to getting into my horse’s world and I’ve spent at least some time with them almost every day. I felt pretty certain I would not ride again until I noticed a shift– at least some change in how my horse related to me.Continue reading “Rock & Roll”
My herd!
Wednesday, December 13, 2017 There have been so many cool things going on in my field lately I’m having a hard time keeping up sharing the highlights! I am so glad I made the decision to purposefully take the time to enter their world as it’s been interesting- and in many ways I’ve enjoyed itContinue reading “My herd!”
Lesson of the bailing twine
Sunday, December 10, 2017 This post is a bit of a combination of a couple experiences I’ve had this week. One of the days I went to work with the mares I had connected nicely with Wild Heart and she was coming with me at my shoulder. I had decided to take her into theContinue reading “Lesson of the bailing twine”
Hands free
Saturday, December 9, 2017 My previous post (Part of your world) described how I’d decided to get serious about improved relationship building with my top mare a week or so ago. Now I’ll begin telling how it’s gone over the days. I’ll start by saying I don’t have an instructional DVD set or a planContinue reading “Hands free”
Layers
Monday, November 27, 2017 Though my recent travels were productive and heart warming filled with both learning and family time- I am always grateful to return home! The time spent with my Simple Equine Teaching family is always special and I never leave without learning new layers – most of the time about myself. IfContinue reading “Layers”
The knife.
Monday, November 6, 2017 My journey into hoof health continues. I went back to check my hoof history and am reminded that I’ve only had this mare just over 3 years (feels like I’ve had her forever…) and actually she was only in shoes starting as a 5 yr old: 2015: August-November 2016:April-November 2017: March-JuneContinue reading “The knife.”
