Throwback to my teenage days… do you think the Black Stallion books/movie had any influence on me? 😂

Why it’s important to stay in top of thrush this winter! If thrush gets deep enough into the collateral grooves and/or frog, it’s painful for your horse to land heel first!

A few simple treatments I use:
- powdered clay and copper sulfate crystals mixed with water into a paste
- powdered clay, raw honey and eucalyptus oil mixed with water into a paste (or you can purchase Artimud)
- Polysporin and Canesten cream mixed 50/50
- 50/50 apple cider vinegar and water sprayed regularly (if your horse has deep thrush, apple cider vinegar can be painful!)
- White Lightning soaks ( if thrush is already deep, I find this to be the most effective treatment)

A horse’s landing mechanics have a big impact on hoof and leg health. A slight heel-first landing aligns the pastern and reduces joint strain, while a toe-first landing—often due to poor frog support, long toes, negative angles or other issues—shifts the pastern and navicular area backward. Over time, this increases stress on the navicular bone, DDFT, and supporting ligaments, leading to vibration, misalignment, and tissue wear. Proper hoof care and frog support help prevent these issues and keep the horse moving soundly.

So thankful to have a friend with an indoor as it poured rain all day on my birthday! I could muck around like this with my horse ALL day ❤️ we had already ridden for an hour and a half, so his ‘go’ button was a little slow. Lol.

SOLD!!

Grade paint/morgan cross weanling c**t. This guy is going to make someone an amazing partner. Not only is he flashy and well put together, he has an amazing temperament, mind and is very sure-footed. Very quiet and thinks his way through things and is very independent. When we pull out his only pasture-mate out to ride, he hardly whinnies and is content to be by himself for that time. Expected to mature 15+ HH. Good with his feet and UTD on feet and worming. Must be sold with a gelding contract.
Located in Pritchard, BC. Asking $1500
