My rooster will still crow at first light no matter what the clock says 😂

I see the effects of this every year. Make sure your blankets fit well, rotate blankets to keep them clean and give your horse some blanket free time daily or as often as possible. Even a well fitting blanket changes the movement of the horse and causes some muscle tension.

The hidden damage of badly fitting rugs ❌

Most of us are now clipping for the winter and many horses spend longer hours rugged, but an ill fitting rug can quietly cause significant tissue damage. This is something I tend to preach every year!

Basically tight or uneven rugs create constant pressure over the withers, shoulders, and hips. Over time, this can lead to bruising, fascial restriction, and reduced circulation, causing soreness and really poor tissue health.

If a rug is tight across the chest or shoulders, it can limit scapular movement and shorten stride length. Rugs that slip or twist may cause horses to alter their posture to stay balanced, leading to tension and asymmetry.

🙏 Check & Prevent. Look for rub marks, warmth, or uneven hair growth when removing your rugs. Watch how your horse moves, restricted shoulder action is definitely an early warning sign. A well fitting rug supports free movement, healthy fascia, and muscle balance and makes for a happy free moving horse!

🐎 Have a great winter but keep checking

There’s a couple weeks left to take advantage of my summer special. If you haven’t tried bodywork on your horse, what are you waiting for? Loosen tight muscles and take away pain, calm the nervous system, improve or boost circulation, save your stallbound horse from muscle atrophy. Massage can do all that and more!

We are deep into the 2025 show season. How is your horse holding up? The show circuit is just as stressful on your horse as it is on you! Riding in the trailer, portable stalls on cement, eating from hay bags, lights on 24/7, heat and humidity… it all stresses the body and causes tension. Finish the show season strong by keeping your horses body free of tension and pain, and their nervous system/ emotions calm. Massage can do that! Ask me how. Contact me to schedule bodywork for your hard working horse.

❤️

“I’ll ride next week.”
“I’ll ride when it’s warmer.”
“I’ll ride when I have more time.”
But time doesn’t wait. Horses don’t live forever.

One day, without warning, the last ride comes —
and you don’t even know it was the last.

No more lazy Sunday hacks.
No more wind in your hair as hooves drum steady down your favorite trail.
No more soft nickers as you walk toward the gate.
No more saddle in your hands, no more breath shared in silence.

The track you loved will grow quiet.
The tack will gather dust.
And all you’ll wish for is one more ride.

So ride now.
Ride like it's your goodbye.
Like the goals can wait, but the moments can’t.
Pat him a little longer. Hug him a little tighter. Say the words out loud:
“You’re my heart. You’re my once-in-a-lifetime.”

Because one day, your hands won’t find that mane.
And you’ll give anything to feel that rhythm beneath you just one more time.

So ride. Not for ribbons. Not for perfection.
Ride for love.
Ride for memories.
Ride for the day when "tomorrow" never comes.
