Very important! Be aware and help your horse!

I have known, and PREACHED this ALL my life. Finally, someone wrote an article and presented good photos.

We are big at teaching the "why" - this was too good not to share. It's the "little" things you do to help your horse that makes them happy and enjoy their time with you.
⬆️Pulling your saddle pad up into the pommel.
💪 It can can take a bit of practice with saddle shifting and pad pulling, but your horse will appreciate it.
🙁 Without being pulled up, when the saddle is cinched the pad presses down on the withers potentially causing discomfort.
😀 With the pad pulled up into the pommel the withers have room to move and there isn't a pressure point.
If you aren't already in the habit of doing this the next time you ride put your fingers between the pad and your horses withers while walking or trotting.
It's our job to make sure that they can comfortably carry us. This simple shift ⬆️ can help to make that happen.

Relax and enjoy some Windsong Ranch horses!

Sometimes, to feel truly alive — all you need is to be near a horse.
Where no words are needed.
Where there's no judgment.
Where nothing hurts.

When I'm with horses, the world goes quiet.
The city noise fades, the worries disappear, the fears dissolve.
There’s only us. Their calm breath. The rhythm of the heart. And a boundless field of freedom that begins within.

A horse is not just an animal. It’s the spirit of the wind that touches your soul.
It teaches you to be present.
To be free.
To be yourself.

In their eyes — silent understanding.
In their movement — harmony.
And when you're with them, every problem loses its weight.
Because in that moment, you are truly free.
Like never before.
