For all my folks who ride out alone, whether it is in the ring or in the woods
Especially those who have Equilab or are on the fence about still getting it

I feel a lot safer out alone when I have mine on and tracking me. Not only does it track my horses movement, gait, speed, distance, and more. It also has a safety tracking feature, so you can share to friends or family so they can monitor your position when riding, ensuring that you get home safely. Whether you decided to go out for that after work hack in the woods, or just a short ride in the ring on a cold morning.

Equilab is taking part on this Black Friday, and offering from the 24th-27th a 50% on their premium platform. No code is needed in app, however if you upgrade through website, just use the “BlackFriday2023” code and you will be set.

Happy riding and stay safe!

Common Myth among the horse world
That every thoroughbred is crazy, unable to calm down and trained.

The hard fact is that too many people do not have the capabilities to capture the ability of a thoroughbred.
Your horse isn’t untrainable, you just need to take a step back and learn more about the horse type to learn how to train.

You see lots of posts of people making the excuse of their horse’s bad behavior for being a thoroughbred. They leap through the air “oh he’s a thoroughbred”, spooks at a bag “oh she’s a thoroughbred”. People constantly make excuses for the behavior for breed.
It is the same thing with a chestnut mare, or a stallion’s bad behavior. It’s because someone has not addressed this bad behavior and told them no. They are like children, you do have to scold them. If someone steals something from Lowe’s and you laugh it off and they learn they can do it again, they most likely will. Same with a horse. If a horse realizes that you will excuse that bad behavior for a breed thing, when most likely it is a training thing, or lack of work, or you’re flat out feeding something that is too high caliber for whatever light work in return.

Thoroughbreds are one of, if not most honest horse you could ride. They let you know before they throw their head between their legs, that well, they are fresh.
They have the work drive of an athlete, so put that drive to work. You have a horse that was bred to be worked, so put that drive to work.

I’ve been lucky enough to grow up in a household where my father trained and broke racehorses the right way, where he focused on the job at hand, and the potential jobs that would happen after. I had a mother who had ridden in the English world all of her life. So I had the position where I learned how to respect the breed and harness it.
So if you’re going to excuse that bad behavior for the horse being a thoroughbred, you should probably look into a different type of horse. Because this breed will give you its absolute all if you respect it and harness their will.

Here’s the big kid!

Mutato, he trailered in yesterday, short ride, hauled good, walked off and went into his paddock and started eating grass.
I lunged him this morning just a few minutes to get a better look at how he moves and everything.
He’s our snuggle bug in the barn and loves attention

If you saw on my story, he ended up measuring out to 17.1hhs, and he’s 2, he’ll be 3 in January, but what a large slug.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Big mans race last night

Came home great, apparently he can go faster than a crawling trot and canter
What a good kid

Life is so tough for Jack
Swipe right to see how he lays down if you don’t ride him before 8 and gives up. If you leave him out in the paddocks after 9, he sprawls out and accepts death by the sun, and won’t get up until you are dragging him up @ Colonial Downs + Rosie's Gaming

Little Jog on Jack before he headed to the track
Enjoy how uncomfortable I look in my dads saddle, he rides like 4 holes longer than where I do so I was like, all over the place 🤪

But let’s all take a community vote that Jack needs to be a show pony

Early post to show the growth and change that she has gone through. She honestly doesn’t look like the same horse anymore. I can remember coming home one weekend from being at school and thinking “that isn’t my horse” because in a week of shedding, her coat was THIS, but obviously not as much of THIS but we were all surprised. You can go back a few posts and see a change even from that post to this one
