This!!! Every bit of this! All of it!

✨ 🎓 Opportunities are not found, they are made! ✨🎓

One thing I’m reminded of time and time again whether working with horses, students, or professionals, is that opportunities rarely just appear. They’re created through persistence, passion, and courage.

Every skill developed, every course taken, every early morning and late finish, it all builds the path forward.

So if you’re waiting for the “right moment”, consider this your sign 🪧 start now. Create it. Shape it. Make it yours 🎓🐎

Build your our own opportunities and support others to do the same.

📣 BIG NEWS FROM EQUIKARE! 📣

Now Offering In-Patient Equine Rehabilitation Services — The Only Program of Its Kind in the Twin Cities!

EquiKare is proud to announce the launch of in-patient equine rehabilitation and transitional care services, a first-of-its-kind program in the Twin Cities metro area.
Think of it as transitional care for your horse—the crucial bridge between veterinary hospital discharge and home. When your horse needs time, structure, or specialized care that you’re not fully prepared or equipped to manage, EquiKare is here to provide knowledgeable, compassionate support.

🏥 Ideal for horses who:
• Are recovering from surgery or medical treatment
• Need structured layup, stall rest, or controlled exercise
• Require expert wound care or ongoing monitoring
• Have sustained injuries needing professional rehab supervision
• Cannot safely recover at home or at their current boarding facility
Whether your horse needs three days, three weeks, or three months, we are here to help.
________________________________________
A Partnership That Makes This Possible
This expansion is made possible through our long-standing relationship with This Old Horse. Thanks to their continued trust and collaboration, EquiKare is able to utilize dedicated space at Phoenix Farm in Hugo to launch Phase One of this inpatient rehabilitation program. Their support has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life, allowing EquiKare to serve the community in a new and meaningful way.

An odontoplasty, or “float”, should only be done following a thorough visual oral examination to look for any pathology. If your horse doesn’t have any malocclusions, or abnormalities in his or her bite, the only part of your horse’s teeth that should be reduced are the sharp enamel points along the cheek edge of the maxillary teeth and the tongue edge of the mandibular teeth.

There should not be any sensitivity associated with this portion of the teeth if odontoplasty is performed correctly. Severe reduction of these points can occur just as easily with either hand floats or motorized equipment. If your horse does appear uncomfortable or begins quidding following a dental visit, your veterinarian should be informed and will likely recommend a follow-up appointment.

Thank you to the Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

❓️Did you know?

Horses have “left” and “right” preferences just like humans do!
But unlike our left- or right-handedness, a horse’s laterality affects their balance, bend, emotional processing, and coordination.
A horse may prefer:
➡️ One lead
➡️ Looking at new objects with one eye
➡️ Turning a particular direction first
➡️ Carrying more weight on one side

These patterns are normal, but they can become exaggerated by pain, saddle fit, or past handling.
Forcing perfect symmetry in a horse can actually create more problems—not fix them.

Horses are naturally asymmetrical, just like humans. When we try to “straighten” them without addressing the root cause—pain, weakness, or compensations—we can increase tension, create resistance, and even worsen imbalance.

Thoughtful conditioning, bodywork, and rehab exercises help build functional balance, not forced symmetry.

Balanced movement comes from strength and comfort—not pressure.
