🐴 Ever wondered how we weigh and measure a horse? 🐴
Tulsa was such an awesome model for the day! From height to weight, we take careful measurements to make sure our horses are healthy and happy. ✨

🐴 Did you know?

A horse’s ears, eyes, and tail are their way of communicating with us! 👀✨

Ears forward: The horse is interested or curious
Ears pinned back: Watch out — they may be angry or upset
Fast-swishing tail: Could indicate annoyance or irritation

Learning to read their body language helps build trust and a deeper connection with these amazing animals. 💛

The Healing Power of Horses
Both humans and horses emit electromagnetic energy from their heart which is measurable and plays a crucial role in their interactions. A horse’s heart is 10 times the size of a human heart and generates an electromagnetic field that is significantly larger.

This expanded electromagnetic range can have a soothing effect on individuals, contributing to the therapeutic benefits of equine-assisted programs.
“It has been proven that working in close proximity to a horse can reduce our heart rate, it can reduce blood pressure, it can reduce the amount of cortisol (stress hormones) and it can also cause the feel-good endorphins to increase in us,” commented Plant. “So, by just being around horses, our moods are elevated and there is a physiological reason for that.”
