Words to live by as the year descends into Michigan winter 😅

Oak Leaf Endurance Ride 2026—
Two weeks ago I talked my daughter into a 10 mile intro with her mare Glory, where they placed first, and followed it up the next day with our very first 25 mile LD. Next thing you know, we are excitedly planning our first horse camping trip across the state to finish up the season with another 25! It was an adventure all the way around, and we had steady rides to completions and learned so much for next time around.

I can’t say enough about our horses and how incredible it is to see the bond that we have both built with our mares really come to life. There’s nothing like camping 10 feet from your horse and listening to them much munch their hay all night, and peeking out the screen of the tent to see their glow sticks, gently moving on the high tie. Looking back I can see I already have pieces of memories that I will hold tight for the rest of my life. Getting up before the first ray of dawn to hand walk and groom. Warm mash for everyone—oatmeal for us, grain and alfalfa for the mares. Tacking up and making our way excitedly to the trailhead. The sound of the wind in the leaves and the steady rhythm of the horse’s breathing and hoof beats. Seeing that feeling of freedom that can only come from the pure joy between a girl and her horse. Taking care of our horses, each other, and ourselves, and the swell of pride I feel in training both of these mares and having a hand in raising a kind, gritty, wonderful daughter.

I really appreciate how welcoming the endurance community in Michigan has been, especially encouraging a new youth member and being generous with advice (and prizes!) for a couple of green beans! We look forward to seeing y’all next year and will be daydreaming of these rides while we’re training over the winter 🐎❄️💜

“When the romance has worn off and what remains is just the work. The lameness. The bad rides. The tragedies.

The love is choosing to come back anyway.”

With the AQI sitting in the 300s and seeing instances of runny noses, wheezing, and increased respiratory rates/nostril flaring, we will be taking the recommended 2-4 weeks off of riding for our horses to recover as noted here. It can be disappointing to derail our rides and plans, but the horses come first and there are so many things we can do to spend time with them and learn outside of saddle time 💙

Quote: Even horses experiencing mild cases of smoke exposure need two to four weeks to recover fully. More severe cases that induce a chronic respiratory condition such as equine asthma might need months to be brought back to health. Long-term effects of smoke exposure and its accompanying dangers can also impair a horse’s immune system—damage that might not be evident for weeks.

“Inflammatory cells react to particulate matter that has settled down in the lung, and now there’s a cleanup going on,” Madigan says. “As the air clears, you need to be aware that the horse’s lung is still responding to that insult and is making corrective immunologic clearance of particulate matter, neutrophils, and other things. There’s no infection, but there’s particulate matter that has to be processed. The average horse owner should be aware that the horse doesn’t have some special nose filter that renders the horse unexposed. Watch for signs like cough, nasal discharge, and an elevated respiratory rate, and then call your veterinarian.”

Due to the poor air quality, we will be canceling lessons for the week. Horses will not be exercised and humans are encouraged to stay indoors if possible! Those who are affected by the Canada wildfires are in our thoughts.
