‼️Following nested images may be disturbing to some, scroll at your own discretion‼️ I wanted to leave the true colors to show how beautiful it can be, but also to represent it accurately.
This past weekend I attended my 2nd Full Horse dissection with Lorre Mueller of Trinity Equine Services. I highly recommend any equestrian rider/owner/professional of any sort attend her dissections as she travels all across the country.
Following this weekends events we are grateful for our wonderful teachers both horse and human. And we hug our own ponies a little tighter at home.
Though it may not always seem it, when there’s “new and improved” supplements/grains and products hitting shelves daily, the equine science world is prehistoric with some of its information. Mostly due to not studying actual horses & their bodies. False information is what leads to a dangerous environment. Without accurate knowledge, we as a community will not be able to progress to where we need to be for our horse’s best interests.
Lately I’ve been silently struggling with wrapping my brain around the ethics of riding, and questioning if I’ll ever be able to look at horses and riding in the same ways I used to. Truthfully, I know that there’s some things you just can’t unsee, and these past few years have been more than eye opening.
So though I still plan to ride, it’s been a tough internal battle to grapple with. This weekends teacher proved to me we need to listen when they say “No” and that there’s more under the surface than we could ever imagine from the outside. But I’m hoping to come to terms that as long as I prepare my horses to the best of my abilities and most importantly listen to the “No”, that I can live with that. As long as I’m listening, they will tell me what I need to hear just like they always have.
So do your horse’s a favor, and listen a little more to all the quiet things they have to say, the good the bad and ugly. Before they have to scream at you.
