Effective immediately, due to the local confirmed EHV-1 cases, we will be postponing all haul-in events, including our flag/roping/pattern nights alongside any daily haul in options for water treadmill.

Thank you.

💦 The water treadmill isn’t just a fancy piece of equipment — it’s a game changer for both equine rehab & conditioning.

Here’s why:

1. Reduced impact, increased strength
The buoyancy of water reduces concussion on joints and tendons, allowing horses to move freely without added strain. Perfect for rehab or conditioning without overloading the musculoskeletal system.

💪 2. Targeted muscle engagement
Water resistance works like gentle strength training — activating the core, hindquarters, and stabilizing muscles through every stride.

❤️ 3. Improved circulation and recovery
The hydrostatic pressure of water naturally increases blood flow and supports lymphatic drainage — promoting healing and reducing inflammation.

⚖️ 4. Balance, symmetry, and posture
The even resistance of water encourages symmetrical movement patterns, helping correct imbalances and improve overall biomechanics.

🌿 Whether your horse is rehabbing an injury or building athletic strength, the water treadmill provides safe, controlled, and measurable progress — one stride at a time.

She fought the fence… and the fence won.

It was a fine line between choosing euthanasia and giving this mare a chance to heal. We knew it wouldn’t be easy — but with consistent care, a close eye on vitals, and diligent wound management, she pulled through.

🌿 After 3 months of dedicated care and patience, her progress speaks for itself.

Every recovery journey is different — but with time and teamwork, healing is possible.

🎃 Happy Halloween from CAER! 👻

Not all monsters go bump in the night — some just flap in the wind or open unexpectedly! 😅

Here’s to every horse who’s faced their biggest fears — like the terrifying umbrella or the spooky plastic bag — and lived to tell the tale.

Wishing you a fun, safe, and (mostly) spook-free Halloween! 🧡

Feeling nervous before you ride? Try Box Breathing.

Just like our horses, our energy affects how we move, think, and connect.

Box breathing is a simple way to calm your mind and steady your body:

➡️ Inhale for 4 seconds
➡️ Hold for 4 seconds
➡️ Exhale for 4 seconds
➡️ Hold for 4 seconds, then repeat

This gentle rhythm helps regulate your nervous system, lower tension, and bring you fully into the moment — so you can ride with softness, focus, and confidence. 🧡

A calm rider = a calm horse. 🌿🐴

Wellness isn’t just physical — it’s emotional too.

🧠 A horse’s body and mind are deeply connected — tension in one often shows up in the other.

At CAER, the horses emotional well-being is part of the program — how they respond, react and relax is just as important as the physical changes.

Calm, confident horses move better, recover faster, and perform with more relaxation and trust. 💫

Wellness starts with awareness — from the inside out. 🌿

Is Mentorship a Dying Practice?

Somewhere along the way, the spirit of mentorship in the equine industry started to fade. It used to be that seasoned horsemen and horsewomen took younger generations under their wing — not because there was money to be made, but because they cared about preserving the craft, the horsemanship, and the heart of this industry.

Now, it seems like everything comes with a price tag. Knowledge that was once freely shared — long days in the barn, quiet lessons learned through experience, the conversations that shaped careers — has turned into something transactional.

When professionals stop mentoring, the whole industry suffers. The next generation suffers. Without guidance, young trainers, riders and up and coming professionals are left to figure things out on their own — often making mistakes that could have been avoided with just a bit of wisdom from those who’ve been there before.

Mentorship isn’t just about teaching skills; it’s about passing on values, ethics, and passion. It’s about ensuring the legacy of true horsemanship continues.

We need to step up. We need to remember why we’re here — not just for ribbons, buckels or profit, but for the love of the horse, the growth of our peers, and the future of the industry we all care so deeply about.

It’s time to bring mentorship back.

When the temps drop, muscles take a little longer to warm up — and that goes for both riders and horses!

Colder weather means stiffer joints, tighter backs, and less elasticity through movement.

💡 Try adding an extra few minutes of in-hand walking or slow, relaxed trot work before asking for collection or lateral movement.

Warming up properly helps prevent soreness, improves flexibility, and keeps your rides smooth and safe all winter long. 🐴✨

It's easy to get FRUSTRATED.

Progress doesn’t always show up in big leaps — sometimes it’s found in the quiet, consistent steps forward.

Whether your horse is rehabbing from an injury, building strength in conditioning, or simply learning to relax into their work — every small win matters.

The first sound trot. The calm mounting. The balanced transition. Those are victories worth celebrating.

At CAER, we see every day how patience, consistency, and care create lasting results.

Keep showing up. Keep caring. Keep believing — you and your horse are doing better than you think.
