Good info for the poor air quality we've been having.

🔥 Wildfire Smoke & Horse Health 🐴💨

As wildfire season heats up, so does the risk of poor air quality — not just for us, but for our horses too. Smoke from wildfires can irritate a horse's respiratory system and cause fatigue, coughing, difficulty breathing, etc.

You can monitor air quality at www.airnow.gov. During periods of poor air quality, you can protect your horse by:
🐎 Limiting exercise
💧 Providing fresh water
💦 Controlling dust such as watering dry lots and soaking or feeding dust-free hay
🕰 Allowing time for recovery: airway damage from wildfire smoke takes 4 to 6 weeks to heal after air quality returns to normal.

I caught Raven staring at the trees intensely this morning while on my daily walk with Flora. We stopped to look at what she saw. It was a huge bald eagle sitting in the tree! Having them cross your path is a great sign of good things to come. I'm ready.

It's warmed up to a balmy -11 in Minnesota. The lows overnight were -45 windchills! The sun sure helps it feel nicer than it is.

Horsemanship

I have loved horses as long as I can remember; always jumping at any opportunity to be around them. Every birthday party was spent riding trails with friends. When I turned 12, I was able to volunteer at Diamond T Ranch taking out trails. I would bike 5 miles every other day to get there.

Eventually I bought Chardonnay, my first horse, from there when I was 15. He taught me so much! He was a flea bitten gray Arabian who was so sweet. He would run up to me in the pasture when I’d call his name. But he also had a stubborn side to him! We got into many arguments when I was younger because I wanted him to do something he didn’t want to do.

Looking back, there is so much I would have done differently. I couldn’t afford lessons, so everything was self taught and learned through reading.

I want to help you better communicate with your horse to create the best possible relationship with them. Chardonnay and I had a relationship like no other, but looking back I see there was a lot I missed.
