The more you know 🧡🩶🖤🐴

- The stay apparatus of the forelimb -

Have you ever wondered how horses can sleep while standing up?

Horse's have a "stay apparatus", which is a complex system of muscles, tendons and ligaments that allow the legs to lock. The stay apparatus of the forelimbs works a little differently than the stay apparatus of the hindlimb.

In the forelimb, the extensor muscles and tendons at the front are directly opposed to the flexor muscles and tendons (as well as a few ligaments) at the back of the limb.

Most of the work is done by the tendons and ligaments, which allows the horse to rest and enter light sleep with very minimal muscular effort, meaning that their legs don't get tired from standing.

Horses can only get REM sleep while lying down in lateral recombancy (flat on their side). The stay apparatus is great for dozing off, but horses still need to spend some time lying down to sleep.

Friday was all about the youngsters 🐴✨
Young horses just coming into work — or stepping up in their training — can benefit so much from regular bodywork. Just like us, they go through growth spurts and changes that can bring a little discomfort along the way.

Whether it’s adjusting to saddle fit, navigating a growth phase, or learning new movements, it’s easy for tightness to creep in. Our job is to listen to what their bodies are telling us and help keep them comfortable, confident, and feeling their best as they develop.

Looks like our four-legged friends know a good thing when they find it 🐶💤 This sweet pup curled up on the PEMF loop all on their own — because even animals recognize the comfort and benefits of good energy. While we usually focus on the horses, it’s a nice reminder that PEMF is safe, soothing, and effective for many species.

✨ Relaxation • Recovery • Wellness ✨

📸 Early morning sessions bring out great releases.

This big yawn happened mid-PEMF session — and we love to see it! Yawning is one of the clearest signs a horse is releasing tension and starting to relax. It means the body is responding, the nervous system is unwinding, and we’re heading in the right direction.

Whether it’s the start of the day or the start of a rehab plan, these small signs speak volumes.

🌀 PEMF helps support circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, and encourage natural healing — all while helping your horse feel their best from the inside out.

Young horses need bodywork too! 🐴✨

Even if they’re just starting under saddle, introducing bodywork early can make a huge difference.

✅ Supports proper muscle development
✅ Eases tension from growth and early training
✅ Encourages better balance, focus & relaxation
✅ Helps prevent future compensation issues

Bodywork isn’t just for rehab and working horses — it’s a smart way to support growth and training from the start.

This nonprofit journey has taken everything we have and then some. We are doing our best to keep it together, to stay strong for the mares, for the foals, for the people who believe in this mission. But we are at a point where we need to be honest and say we can’t do this alone. We are dangerously low on funding. We have not yet been able to afford ANY of our winter hay, we have dentals on all of our mares due this fall, along with fall vaccines and deworming, high four figure monthly farm lease and plenty of vet bills, equipment payments and supplies to buy just to name a few.

We are $8,000 short on our “Semi of Support” fundraiser which buys the first load of alfalfa for our girls this fall. This is one load of several we will need for the winter months.

Every dollar goes directly to operations, we only have four boots on the ground, a small team of dedicated board members, and one unpaid intern.. When we made the shift, we had to trust the community would meet us half-way. We simply cannot do this without you.

If you’ve ever believed in what we’re doing…
If one of our stories has ever made you smile or cry or think “this matters”…
Please, I’m asking you—help us keep going.

If you can’t donate, we ask that you share our message as we make this push to survive our first year as a non profit.
On average our videos get 6 figure views from around the world. Occasionally we will get a video that goes viral with 2-3 million views. Earlier this year, we hit 8.9 million views in 28 days. Now- if every person donated just $1, it would drastically change our trajectory.
We would be able to help others in so many ways: lower our lease cost, broaden our reach, help other non profits, hire more people, own our farm, take in more mares, save more foals.

We are still here. We are still fighting.
Because these mares and our mission matter but we need community support!

With all my heart,
Bronwyn Watts
Founder and executive director
ColdSpring Mares Inc.

Dear Friends and Supporters: We are reaching out again to ask for your help in transporting critical supplies to areas where they are most needed if necessary. We have seen firsthand the difference that timely deliveries can make in the lives of horses/animals in crisis. Your monetary donation will directly support the cost of fuel, driver, logistics and supplies. Every donation small or large brings us closer to making a real difference. Thank you everyone.

🌀 Hurricane Season Information for Equine Evacuees

Each year, World Equestrian Center – Ocala supports the equine community by offering stalls to horses evacuating from storm-affected areas. While we hope for a calm season, we remain prepared to assist if the need arises.

This year, we’ve introduced a new process to help us respond quickly and efficiently during severe weather events.

🔗 Going forward, all hurricane and severe weather stall requests must be submitted through our official request form at hurricanestalls.wec.net.

📅 The form will only be activated if and when a storm poses a credible threat to Florida.

⚠️ Please note: Stall availability is not guaranteed and will be prioritized based on the storm’s projected impact zones.

For more details about our severe weather response process, visit hurricanestalls.wec.net, and follow the WEC – Ocala page for real-time updates.
