Are you ready for an emergency? Are you able to keep your cool when things go south quickly?

One of the most important things to remember is that s**t goes south fast and your safety is key.

Today for a routine dental for a horse I've sedated multiple times we had the "oh s**t" experience.

Mr boots had an extreme reaction to being sedated. It went from us all chatting away to emergency in less then 60 seconds.

It looked like a scene from an exorcism/seizure and was terrifying.

Being the person holding the horse, it was my responsibility to try and manage a flipping, kicking, horse in the yard to stop him hurting himself or the three of us.

A horse in this situation does not have situational awareness, he is not aware of us, only the brain fried moment.

If you are not directly holding a horse going through this, the safest thing is to move out of the way, and if safe enough to do so, remove anything that the horse could injure itself on.

The one thing im pretty good at is taking control when s**t goes south. Even when I broke my neck and back at an endurance event, you have to stay cool, calm and collected. Loosing your own head is not going to keep you safe, or those around you.

Be prepared for anything, think about what you could do, should do and shouldn't do- and always remember your safety is paramount.

We all made it through and we all survived. We can chalk this up to the usual insane s**t that happens to me and my horses- but safe to say, we are never seating Mr Boots again 😅

Honestly I cant thank my amazing vet for making it through, and looking after Boots so well. He'll have some baking for you 😘

Remember the 6 Ps. Prior planning prevents p**s poor performance. And also make sure your vet loves your crazy farm 😆

Kings Court Midnight Rain 🌧

Meet Nimbus, the two-year-old miniature horse who pack the chaotic energy of an F5 tornado into a dangerously cute, knee-high package.

​The Lineage: Yes, his mum is actually Taylor Swift (the horse, though he certainly acts like he owns a stadium full of screaming fans).

​The Attitude: Unapologetically cheeky with extremely strong opinions on how things should be run—which is strictly by his rules, 100% of the time.

​Hobbies: Roughhousing, starting completely unnecessary play fights, and being extremely "helpful" around the yard (a polite way of saying he will inspect, chew, or steal whatever you are currently holding).

​He may be small, but his personality is currently sweeping through the barn at 200 miles per hour. Enter at your own risk!

Mr nimbus and his mum taylor swift went to the Manawatu Saddle Up minishow today!

Whilst little man just went for company and to get measured for paperwork, taylor went to her first show!

We were only going to have an outing and to work on meeting more people, seeing new things and to be able to walk and trot next to me, and do our spinning trick 🥳

She exceeded expectations today! She was so well behaved, walked and trotted next to me super well, and tried her hardest! She also managed the spin without me holding the rope!

We were extra lucky we came home with some ribbons too!

2nd best trick
3rd solid colour
3rd handler
6th best trot

Considering how far she has come in such a short period of handling, I couldn't be more happy!!! We retired early from the ring because she achieved everything I had set out to do, and I wanted to finish on a good note, and she deserved an early finish and snacks back at the float ✨️⭐️

The Miequinz quick dry spray came in handy with a few spot washes before the ring.

Love love love the Hygain feed, keeping them healthy from the inside out.

And a big thank you to Equine Eats n' Treats who provided snacks for the ring and tricks, and for holding on to the baby devil child 😅 his behaviour was, well, less then ideal 😈😶‍🌫️🙃🥴💀

Roll on the season ahead!
