Happy Halloween from our stable to yours!

Not my normal post but here we go! Fall is a great time for pasture maintenance and over the next few days we’ll look at a few things you can do to help your horse field produce better pasture. First up is Aerating.

🐴 Why Aerating Your Horse Fields Matters 🌱
Keeping your pastures healthy isn’t just about reseeding or mowing — aeration plays a key role in maintaining nutritious, resilient forage for your horses.

🌿 Give Your Pastures Room to Breathe
Compacted soil limits root growth and water movement

💚 Improved Grass Growth
Aeration loosens compacted soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach plant roots.
➡️ Result: Stronger root systems and more vigorous, balanced grass growth.

💧 Better Water Drainage
Aerated soil absorbs rainfall and reduces runoff or muddy patches.
➡️ Less standing water means fewer hoof problems and less pasture damage.

🌾 Enhanced Soil Health
Oxygen flow encourages beneficial microbes that break down organic matter.
➡️ Healthier soil = more nutrient-rich forage.

✨ Pro Tip: Aerate once or twice a year — ideally in spring or fall — when grass is actively growing.
Healthy soil = Healthy pasture = Healthy horse 💚

Only had a handful of minutes before I lost the daylight so we took advantage of the time we had and worked on some trailer training. My goal is to get him self loading and I know we’ll get there in no time!

As the cold days get closer, remember that currying your horse before riding is a great way to start warming up their muscles and yours!

This 110%! Fox hunters are some of the most athletic horses that cover more ground/jumps than most people might realize. They are worth their weight in gold and deserve feeling their best too!

Comment to the fox hunters - just because you’re not galloping for the whole 5 hours that you’re out in the field does not mean that your horse didn’t have a taxing day. Go hike 7-8 miles, add a little backpack that weighs between 10-15% of your weight and some terrain. Even if you stop and hang around for a fair bit, I predict that you'll still be tired at the end of the day and crave rest and maybe even a little muscular rehab in the form of a hot tub or a massage.

Think of it as an oil change and tire alignment to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on your “vehicle”, as you would do for your truck, your trailer, your atv. It makes sense to maintain your equine ride in the same way, so that you can do the things you want to do with it for a long time.

Massage manually supples, separates and aligns muscle fibers to ease tight, sore muscles lengthen and supple myofascia, free painful nerves, improve circulation, increase range of motion and bring balance and biotensegrity back to the body to improve performance and soundness.
