Love you all!!

To the mom running her child to ABA therapy while her friends are driving their children to soccer practice. You're not alone.

To the mom carrying around a PECS book. You rock!

To the dad avoiding milestones conversations with his friends because his child is years behind. Your child is perfect just the way he is.

To the mom embarrassed by her son's screams at the grocery store. I've been there too. No later than yesterday.

To the mom at her computer researching what kind of therapy is best for her child. Your child is lucky to have you as his advocate.

To the dad afraid of taking his child to a restaurant, park or any kind of public places. I know, it's difficult.

To the mom still mourning the dream of taking her son to the cinema or baseball practice. It may not happen how you pictured it but it will.

To the dad feeling silly because he celebrated when his son said "buh" for bubbles. Every single victory is worth celebrating. Open up that champagne!

To the mom holding in her tears after another therapy report that makes her feel like her child is not progressing. Don't lose hope!

To the dad wishing his daughter would talk. Me too... you're not alone.

When you feel hopeless, when you're struggling to keep going. Remember that you're not alone. When you feel like nobody notices you unless your child is screaming. When you're wondering how you're going to do it any longer. I want you to remember, that you're doing an amazing job. You love your child, you're doing the best you can. When you feel like nobody understands what you're going through. Remember that I do and there are a lot of us out there.
It's ok to have bad days. We all do. To all the moms and dads out there who are trying their hardest to give their children the best life possible despite the circumstances, you are amazing and you child knows it even if he/she can't say it.

I have known, and PREACHED this ALL my life. Finally, someone wrote an article and presented good photos.

We are big at teaching the "why" - this was too good not to share. It's the "little" things you do to help your horse that makes them happy and enjoy their time with you.
⬆️Pulling your saddle pad up into the pommel.
💪 It can can take a bit of practice with saddle shifting and pad pulling, but your horse will appreciate it.
🙁 Without being pulled up, when the saddle is cinched the pad presses down on the withers potentially causing discomfort.
😀 With the pad pulled up into the pommel the withers have room to move and there isn't a pressure point.
If you aren't already in the habit of doing this the next time you ride put your fingers between the pad and your horses withers while walking or trotting.
It's our job to make sure that they can comfortably carry us. This simple shift ⬆️ can help to make that happen.
