❄️ Winter doesn’t have to be hard. With it brings a quieter, slower rhythm. Frosted trees, snow covered fields, crisp morning sunlight, and clear night skies make winter one of the most visually stunning seasons. The best part, no mosquitoes, flies, or ticks. Simple but glorious.

Horses are naturally well equipped to handle cold weather. Their bodies and behaviors are built for resilience, and with basic care, most horses stay comfortable even in harsh winter conditions.

☃️ Here are 5 easy tips to get your equine friend through the chilly season!

🌾 Adequate forage

Horses stay warm by digesting hay. Increasing forage during cold spells helps maintain body temperature and prevent weight loss. Offer free-choice hay if possible, and consider added fibre or supplements when necessary.

💧 Ensure reliable access to water

Horses drink less when water is icy, increasing the risk of impaction colic. Use heated buckets, tank heaters, or frequently break ice and refresh water. Ideally, water should be around 45–65°F (7–18°C).

🧥 To blanket, or not to blanket?

Not all horses need blankets. But they don’t hurt. Factors include coat thickness, body condition, age, health status, riding schedule and shelter availability. If you blanket:
• Use waterproof, breathable materials.
• Check daily for rubbing, shifting, or dampness.
• Keep blankets clean and dry.
• Frequently check the weather forecast for fluctuating temperatures.

🏠 Maintain a safe and dry shelter

Provide a shelter that blocks wind and precipitation. Good ventilation is essential to prevent respiratory issues. Keep bedding dry and remove wet spots daily to reduce ammonia and hoof problems. Straw bedding is a bonus!

🐴 Monitor body condition & hoof health

Winter hides weight changes under thick coats and blankets. Run your hands over ribs and topline weekly. Schedule farrier visits every 6–8 weeks. Hooves still grow in winter and can develop thrush in wet conditions.

Winter goes a lot smoother when you learn to embrace it, prepare well and dress for the conditions.

LET YOUR AUTHENTICITY BE YOUR EDGE.

The second you start performing for the world instead of being yourself…

You lose.

You lose your identity.

You lose your confidence.

You lose your ability to connect with people in a real way.
..and here's the truth that nobody wants to say out loud:

We’re all a little messed up.

Every single one of us has weird s**t about us.

Every single one of us has insecurities, flaws, and mistakes we’d rather bury.

Some people hide it.

Some people own it.

The people who own it are the ones who win.

Why?

Because you can’t beat someone who’s not pretending.

You can’t shame someone who’s honest.

You can’t compete with someone who’s playing their own game.

Authenticity is a powerful weapon in a world full of filters and people wearing masks.

Your quirks make you memorable.

Your flaws make you relatable.

Your honesty makes you trustworthy.

Your realness makes you magnetic.

Stop running from who you are.

Stop polishing yourself into something you think people want.

Most people don’t want perfect.

Most people want real.

The second you drop the fake persona and start showing up as the actual you…

Everything becomes easier.

Your relationships get better.

Your confidence grows.

Your life feels lighter.
..and the irony is…

You stand out way more by being yourself than you ever will by pretending.

Own your flaws.

Own your story.

Own who you are.

That’s your edge.

That’s your superpower.

That’s how you win.

The little moments are never little.

🌱 5 benefits of feeding TURMERIC 🐴

🔆Turmeric (Curcumin) is derived from the stem of a spice plant that originates from Southeast Asia. Curcumin is one of the primary active compounds found in Turmeric. The following are just a few of many benefits of adding this powerful combo to your horse’s diet!

1️⃣ Helps to maintain optimal JOINT HEALTH and function by reducing inflammation without the side effects of NSAIDS (Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs).

2️⃣ Powerful ANTI-OXIDANT protects cells from oxidative stress and neutralize harmful free radicals in the body.

3️⃣ Aids in DIGESTION, helps maintain a healthy gut lining and promote overall gut health.

4️⃣ Helps to balance glucose levels in horses with METABOLIC syndrome.

5️⃣ Encourages a healthy SKIN and COAT.

🫒 Pairing turmeric with good fats like OLIVE OIL improves bloodstream absorption due to fat solubility, making this combination highly effective for maximizing health benefits.

➕ The addition of BLACK PEPPER to turmeric and olive oil can increase absorption by 2000%, thanks to piperine, a liver metabolic enhancer, further amplifying the health benefits.

🛑 Always use caution when introducing new things to your horses diet. Gradual introduction is recommended and monitor for any changes when necessary.

❓ Are white hooves weaker than black hooves?

I get this question often, but I hear it most often stated as an assumption.

✅ No, white hooves are not inherently weaker than black hooves.

Scientific studies and expert farriers agree that there is no significant structural difference between white and black hooves. The difference in color is due to pigmentation (melanin), not strength or quality and both can be equally strong if they are healthy and properly cared for.

🧐 So why the myth?

Some most obvious start with a visual. Chips, cracks, or damage may be more visible on light-colored hooves. A horse with poor hoof quality and white feet might be remembered more than a black-hoofed one with similar issues. Trust me when I say there plenty of black hooves in less than ideal condition.

💪 What really affects hoof strength?

Regardless of color, hoof quality depends on:

•Genetics
•Nutrition (biotin, amino acids, zinc)
•Environment (moisture, footing)
•Farrier care (regular, proper trimming/shoeing)
•Injury or disease (white line disease or laminitis)

☝️A white hoof is NOT a weak hoof, but a NEGLECTED hoof is.

If you’re caring for a horse with white hooves, just focus on good trimming, healthy diet, and a dry, clean environment.

Understand that you can be grateful for where you are...
..and still being hungry for more.

You can appreciate what you've built...
..and still want to build more.

You can be proud of how far you've come...
..and still want to go further.

It doesn't have to be one or the other.

This is a concept that most people can't seem to grasp.

Quit hyper-focusing on what you don't have.

You will miss out on a lot of the moments you should spend being grateful for everything you do have.

Learn to strike a balance between pursuing more and appreciating the life you have currently.

If you can't...

It really doesn't matter how far you go...

You will never be happy with where you're at.

That's the truth.

Everybody wants a good horse.
But not everybody wants to become the kind of person that makes a horse good.

In today’s world, people expect fast results.

Instant gratification.
Swipe, click, scroll, done.

People expect success to be delivered like an Amazon Prime Order:
fast, easy, and with a smile.

They want to turn their feral horse into a “finished horse” without ever putting in the hours it takes to truly understand one in the first place.

Here’s the thing…
Mastery isn’t downloadable.
A reciprocal relationship can’t be rushed. It is build over time and it comes with highs and lows.

What took others years of learning, failing, watching, refining, people now want handed to them in a weekend clinic, a 10-minute video, a one time exercise, a one-sentence answer or because they bought a course.

The shortcuts people chase are often detours that lead them right back to where they started, just more frustrated this time.

They want the feel, but not the feedback.
They want the bond, but not the humility.
They want the horse to change, but they don’t want to change themselves.

No one can hand you the timing, the feel, the quiet, calm and consistent leadership it takes.

It can’t be downloaded or bought.

You earn that, you develop it, with every consistent rep and step. With patience. With clarity. Through being a lifetime student of the horse.

By showing up on the days it’s hard, boring, frustrating or humbling.

Put in the work.
Put in the hours.
Because Your horse
deserves that version of You.
