Poo picking: the most glamorous form of mindfulness and therapeutic intervention ✨💩

Forget yoga.
Forget breathwork.
Forget journalling with a £40 notebook.

If you want true presence, try poo picking.

You are:

outside

phone abandoned (because… no free hands²)

eyes scanning the ground like a detective

completely focused on one job and one job only

You cannot ruminate while holding a fork.
You cannot overthink your life choices while counting piles.
You cannot people-please a wheelbarrow.

It’s mindfulness because:

you’re in the moment

your senses are fully engaged

your brain has absolutely no spare capacity for existential dread

It’s therapeutic because:

repetitive motion soothes the nervous system

the rules are clear (see poo → pick poo)

there is a visible, immediate result

and at the end you can look back and say: I did something useful today

Also:

horses are quietly plotting when to tip the wheelbarrow.

Doing that poo just far enough away you have to walk back on yourself

the weather adds character

and there’s a strange sense of pride in a well-cleared field

Is it glamorous?
No.

Is it grounding?
Absolutely.

Is it possibly the most honest form of therapy?
Also yes.

Because sometimes healing isn’t talking about your feelings…
…it’s just picking up literal s**t and carrying on 🐎💩

From the very beginning, Santa Fe Sport Horse has grown through word of mouth and the care of our community. Friends telling friends. Riders trusting riders. That has always meant everything to me.

As I look toward 2026, I am now accepting applications for new horses and riders. If you know someone who is searching for a thoughtful training home or a barn built on care, consistency, and classical horsemanship, I would be so grateful if you shared us with them.

You can learn more about my clinics and new offerings on my website. Thank you for being such a meaningful part of my Facebook family.

With gratitude,

Andrea

Look at Ella! She may be 22 years young, but she doesn't know it. Her mom says she's still going strong—Haflingers are tough after all! That's why she invested in this beautiful Taos Moon ThunderCloud blanket made of 50% Mohair and 50% New Zealand Wool.

If you're looking to get a blanket before the price increase in 2026, be sure to check out the available inventory at thundercloudsaddleblankets.com.
