As equestrians, it is our responsibility to be advocates for our horses.
Horses are prey animals, and while they may be far more domesticated than a deer in the wild, his/her instinctive response is still to choose flight when something feels uncertain or unsafe. A spook is not the end of the world—it is simply a natural reaction to something the horse did not have the opportunity to fully process before responding.
My passion has always been building horses up, creating a program that develops confidence, trust, and self-assurance. I make it a priority to take notes, observe patterns, communicate with owners, and, when I’m fortunate enough, collaborate with the other professionals involved in their care.
At Posh Equestrian, we are about so much more than solving training problems. As a rider who has had horses at “home” for almost 20yrs, I find the care to be crucial in the way a horse survives. Even if feed time is unpredictable or stressful, it shows up when we sit on their backs. Trust me in saying, I have given up a lot of opportunities to maintain the structure my horses have and I wouldn’t change it for the world. We focus on the whole horse. It’s about knowing that during the 23 hours a day I don’t see them, they are receiving everything they need to remain sound, eager, comfortable, and confident in their jobs. (Yes, my personal herd sees me much more than an hour a day😆)
In reflection, thank you to everyone who trusts me to be part of the journey with your four-legged partners. And please—keep the updates coming! Whether it’s a training milestone, a funny story, or simply a photo of your horse grazing in the field, I love seeing them. Sometimes a simple grazing photo can tell you a lot about a horse’s state of mind, comfort, and overall well-being. ❤️🖤
Posh on Thanksgiving in 2017 for attention. She helped build my empire.
