Frankly Sound Equine

04/23/2025

I’ve been in a bit of a retreat so far this year. I think for many reasons—one of which, and most importantly, is that I’m unwilling to continue sacrificing the little time and bandwidth I have to spend it on everyone else’s critters rather than my own. My family, both animal and human, have been a bit neglected (by my standards) by my own choosing, as I explored my life in the equine professional realm.

With this intentional time to myself and my herd, I’ve come to an unfortunate—and unsurprising—conclusion about how we handle a very common life situation (which 100% translates outside the horse world too):

𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬.

The bottom line is, we’re all going to make mistakes—all the time. Frankly, I’m grateful for all the mistakes I’ve made (and am still making). If we don’t know the wrong answer, how will we ever know the right one?

Thank god the horses are the most forgiving creatures ever. More than us. We’ve really got a thing or two to learn from them on this topic—having grace about making a mistake or not having the right answer. It’s another double standard we often carry like an invisible cloak. We, as a whole (the equine community), do not deserve them.

There’s a really strong polarity in the world right now… obviously.

Also very true in the equine world.

Barefoot or shoes?
Metal or composite?
Riding or not riding?
At what age, and how?
Positive reinforcement or negative?
Can you blend the two?
Tracks or stables?
Turnout or runs?
Sport world or none?
One type of competition or another?

Good god—the list never ends, and each of those can be broken down 20 more times.

And ultimately… maybe all of those are the truth and right thing… because what works for one, may not work for the others!

There’s so much information, misinformation, and opinions presented as facts. This is nothing new. But the resounding hypocrisy that’s intertwined with so much of it is tough to witness.

I’ve never actually met a practitioner who thought, “𝐴𝑙𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡… 𝐼’𝑚 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑢𝑝 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦！”
(Fill in the modality of your choosing.)

Not saying that’s not happening—nor that those people don’t exist. There’s proof of that, unfortunately. Good lord, it’s more prevalent than ever before. But that’s another book for another time.

The point is—the vast majority of us show up doing the best we can with the tools and knowledge we have at that given moment. I see this in an extreme form in the farrier/trimmer world.

So why is it the easiest thing for people to resort to defensiveness and allow ego to completely take over when their work is questioned? Maybe because the way it’s broached is often with malice and harmful intent.

It’s tough to see prominent figures online present their observations and opinions about a previous practitioner as fact. This shows up wrapped in a box of shame, with a bow on top made of hundreds of followers chiming in with praise. Meanwhile, at the core of the message, we’re putting more energy into tearing down another practitioner than into educating about what interventions actually helped the horse.

It just becomes such an incredible detriment to this industry. It strips away any form of people wanting to step up and have accountability for their actions—so that they can find change in their approach. Because even if they want to change, nobody wants to be fu***ng ridiculed by someone who lacks the majority of the context needed to even form an educated opinion—let alone preach facts. Sometimes, social media provides an easy place to form masses of extremists who are ruthless and horrible.

So we’re not setting up a good container for seeing positive changes for the horse.

I wrote this days before the recent, devastating su***de of the veterinarian due to harassment and bullying on social media. I think I feel this all a little deeper now.

I hope I can always be held accountable within my tribe—to continue showing up for the horse through interactions where I’m held with integrity. Not only for the horse, but for the humans around me. 💕

THIS!!!!!!
Sometimes, I Love You, means...

I love you can mean a lot of different things.

…Sometimes it means an extra scratch in that sweet spot.
…Sometimes an extra carrot.
…Sometimes it means a slow, quiet walk to reconnect.
…And sometimes, in the spring, for some horses,

𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀.

Where I live, the grass is just starting to grow. It’s not lush yet, but it’s already high in sugars—especially in the late afternoon after a full day of sun. While some horses can tolerate it just fine, others simply can’t. For our metabolic horses—those with insulin resistance, Cushing’s, or a history of laminitis—even a small amount of pasture can trigger a downward spiral. It can sneak up quickly.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲:

•Skipping turnout altogether for now. Early spring grass is high in sugars (Studies show that early spring grass can exceed 20% non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) with levels peaking in the late afternoon after a sunny day. As the grass matures in late spring sugar content decreases, but it’s still important to be cautious for metabolic horses!

• Offering early morning-only turnout when sugar levels are lowest.

•Using a grazing muzzle

• Choosing low sugar and high fiber hay over even a small amount of grass.

•Slowly increasing turnout time and carefully monitoring how your horse responds.

•Monitoring insulin levels and supporting with herbs or meds if needed.

•Spacing out injections, dewormers, and vaccines (when possible, checking titers instead) The HHC just had a great webinar with Dr Lisa Jacobson on this topic! Check it out: www.holistichorsecollective.com

Laminitis doesn’t always show up in obvious ways. It can be quiet at first:

• Slight heat in the hooves
• A digital pulse that wasn’t there yesterday
• A shorter stride
• Hesitation or a misstep in tight circles
• Shifting weight
• A shift in energy, mood, or posture

Those early signs are important. And so is trusting your gut when something feels just a little “off.”

Sometimes I love you sounds like, “Not today… not this season… not anymore” when it comes to pasture.

And that kind of love? It’s proactive. It’s protective. And it can make all the difference. 🌱💫

I began this year with some strong shifts in my intentions.

For one, I did my vision board; incredibly, it’s the first I’ve ever done (through the 10+ years attempted).

Secondly, I set my intentions for 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚. Clarity with myself, my family and friends, and my horses - any of them I interact with.

I have really come to terms with how much of a disservice it is to 𝐧𝐨𝐭 be clear - for all parties involved. With boundaries, communications and energetic exchanges.

So, now knowing better, I’ll strive to do better in that regard. I 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 to. I want to be so clear with myself and who I am, because I deserve it. I deserve to always be aware of my yes’ & no’s - in all realms. To honor them and the evolving boundaries I place to protect myself, so that my self love can continue to grow. So that my past triggers, who tirelessly worked to keep me alive and safe, can be laid down in reverence.

This allows me to then show up in ways I never knew possible for the horses. I’m excited for what this year brings and how much my approach continues to shift, develop and expand. I’m excited to not 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 like a trainer, bodyworker or instructor. But to show up authentically 𝒎𝒆 through this beautiful blend of them all; and really, just a growing horsewoman fulfilling a soul contract.

Thank you, Celeste-Leilani Lazaris, for being not only an incredible inspiration and mentor, but friend and supporter as well on this earthly horsemanship journey. 💕

I’m so lucky to be a forever student of the horse. We all should find gratitude in that. 🌹

With that said - I’m so 𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒 with the intentional (needed) rest I sought through these winter months. The joy and rejuvenation I feel now is so deep, with the longer days and return of light that Ostara brings as she approaches.

I’ll be more clear with my boundaries this year on how far and often I travel to see clients and their horses, and open the door a bit wider for my distance session availability - as I am deeply prioritizing my own herd (horses and humans).

🙌 Cults, propaganda, fake news and misinformation in the equine industry… 🙌

Are you making the right choices for your horse?

And are you truly empowered to make them? Who and what guided you to make the decisions?

Let’s start with this: What is propaganda, misinformation and fake news?

“The terms ‘propaganda’, ‘misinformation’ and ‘fake news’ often overlap in meaning. They are used to refer to a range of ways in which sharing information causes harm, intentionally or unintentionally – usually in relation to the promotion of a particular moral or political cause or point of view.

It is possible to separate out three clearly different uses of information which fall into this category:
• Mis-information - false information shared with no intention of causing harm
• Dis-information - false information shared intentionally to cause harm
• Mal-information - true information shared intentionally to cause harm

Although none of these phenomena are new, they have taken on new significance recently with the widespread availability of sophisticated forms of information and communication technology. The sharing of text, images, videos, or links online, for example, allows information to go viral within hours.”

Source: https://www.coe.int/en/web/campaign-free-to-speak-safe-to-learn/dealing-with-propaganda-misinformation-and-fake-news

What are the characteristics of a cult?

• “A charismatic leader: Cults always follow a charismatic leader, living or dead, whose teachings are considered of the highest importance.
• Ideological purity: Members are strongly discouraged from questioning the cult's doctrine and any doubts are met with shame or punishment.
• Conformity and control: Cult leaders often exercise an extreme degree of control over members' lives, including dictating what they can wear and eat and what kinds of relationships they can have. Conformity is also enforced by group members who police one another.
• Isolation and love-bombing: It is common for people in cults to be encouraged to cut contact with outsiders, including close family members. Within the cult, new members are often subjected to love-bombing, a practice where new initiates are showered with love and praise to bring them deeper into the cult and foster a sense of belonging
• Us-vs-them mentality: Cult members are often encouraged to see the cult as superior to life on the outside and to feel that those outside the cult lack understanding or insight.
• Apocalyptic thinking: Preparation for a supposed apocalypse or cataclysmic event is a major characteristic of many cults, especially cult religions (eg “if you do this your horse will die”)
• Time and energy: Followers are expected to dedicate huge amounts of time and energy (and often money) to the cult to the exclusion of their own lives, interests, jobs, and families.”

On my page, website, webinars and educational resources, I provide information backed by objective evidence. I provide references and resources, and I even show you how you can document and objectively assess your own horse, for more accurate assessment and tracking changes resulting from the choices you have made on behalf of your horse.

I don’t teach you how to trim hooves. Instead, i support you on your learning path to trimming horses - your way.

I share my journey, my assessments, recommendations and results. I show you how I assess welfare conditions, and why, and encourage you to do the same, using physiological, postural and behavioural parameters which help give horses a voice, opinion, and a window into their subjective, lived experience.

This is how we learn to truly advocate for them. The manner in which you advocate becomes easier to choose when we meet the horse where they are, and remove the ego.

💚I want you to take your own journey. I want you to question everything critically, including anything I share.

💚I want owners to experience empowerment.

💚To me, empowerment = the ability, strength, confidence and resources to act legitimately and authentically on behalf of oneself and a horse in their charge.

💚 To me, empowerment isn't a regurgitation of another’s belief system.

💚 To me, empowerment doesn’t come from propaganda, fake news, misinformation or cult membership.

💚 To me, empowerment comes from critical thinking balanced with intuition and embodied knowledge.

💚 To me, empowerment leads to wisdom, courage, and personal growth.

👏I’m all for that. Are you? 🐴🥰

Here’s another wonderful example of what we mean when we say we help them find their wings 🪽

When we help them unlock and open that incredibly delicate space at their poll. The A/O joint.

It’s extra special for me, because this is my own child. 💕

And I know… if someone says working with and helping their own horses, isn’t 1000X harder than client horses, they’re lying. Or they’re just that fu***ng good. I don’t know. 🤷‍♀️

But what I can empathize with - all the guardians who try so hard for their horses and work to check all the boxes.

Keep going. Keep doing it. And don’t try to do it alone. Find a team who is there to support you and collaborate together. That’s what it takes. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. We’re human! Drive your passion and depth of care for your horse from a place of love. It’ll help us honor the humbleness it takes to be the best possible advocate we can be for our horses. ❤️

(Two examples for the, “their neck is just different because it’s lower” crowd) 😘

Here's a fun little reminder that BTMM 𝒊𝒔 ‘considering the whole horse’. On our last trainer call, it was the reverberating energy through the conversation. And why all things must be considered while addressing pathologies; yet often overlooked through compartmentalizing.

I know, because I didn't know, until I knew. I know, because I see rehabilitation plans that skip over crucial aspects that would address the root cause of injury. I know, because I have personally been led down the path (by my own) of discovering the way in which he needed me to learn and show up for him in all realms.

What he led me through addressing before I was able to check the last box... which was FEET.

He had a wonderful environment with movement and friends. His nutrition was adjusted to forage based with herbal supports. (Thanks HeartSong Equine for facilitating both of those, and more). He had physical support which embodied BTMM, LNRT, healing horsemanship & functional movement.

But - without having feet to stand on, we will always be chasing pathology. And sometimes that means learning how to have hard conversations; navigating through finding 𝑛𝑜𝑡 what *we* think is right based on our beliefs of specific methodologies, but listening to the horse and finding what works best for them; and finding the right practitioners to collaborate with is equally as important and sometimes difficult territory to traverse!

I also think the way in which we speak to those on our platforms is incredibly important. To operate from a place of peace and safety is a love based frequency. To extend shame on folks for their place of education on any of these topics is a low place to inhabit. Truly, when we know better, we do better. That's where our standard should be as professionals in this industry.

We aren't meant to pretend to have all the answers - we never will anyway. The notion of over complicating things to the point of making the information feel in-accessible to the masses is a gross form of attempting to gate keep information while feeding an unhealthy ego; and frankly, it's so rampant in the equine world, and that alone does the disservice to the horses.

My point being - for those who are overwhelmed with the feeling like you don't have enough knowledge/education/skill to advocate and make changes for your horse with your current skill set; understand this, you do know your horse best, and it's okay to have just a basic understanding of concepts, principles and methods regarding our horses health care, so you can then find the team that's best suited for supporting you. Having tools to help recognize dysfunction, only provides a clearer path to function.

All of this 💖

Everyone’s horsemanship journey looks different… but golly there are some incredible baselines we should all learn and carry, for the sake of our horse.

💖

My Horses Love Me.

I have four personal horses and I think each one is the best thing since sliced bread. The feeling is mutual.

This doesn’t mean that we always “get along”. Just like any relationship/partnership, we have good days and bad. Peaks and valleys. While every body has something adverse to work through or with, in general, our little herd is made up of happy and healthy horses who want to be with us.

I have put much thought into why this is. Why my horses come to meet me at the gate with ears pricked and eyes bright. Why they gather around me and follow me about. Why they softly nicker as I approach, noses stretched out for face scritches. Why they eagerly place their heads in their halters to participate in whatever the day lays out for us. Why they thrill in our under saddle work, why they have so, so much try.

I firmly believe that horses want to be Centaur as much as we do.

In spite of this profound belief system, the reality is that there is much that must come into play in order for my horses to be happy, healthy and willing partners. To the best of our human abilities, our horses have:

✨ Species Appropriate Environment.
They live in bands of their choosing and choose when to seek shelter, when to eat, when to drink, when to rest, when to play.

✨ Complete Circle of Influence.
They have individual nutritional programs, correctly fitted tack and access to an incredible health care team whose members are ultimately of their choosing.

✨ Freedom to Say No.
I understand why in some horsemanship circles this is a cardinal sin. For me, allowing my horses to say No has greatly impacted our partnerships for the better. However, when they say No, it does not mean that the conversation is over, it simply means that it’s my responsibility to be flexible and take steps until I find their Yes. What I have discovered after several years of working through this approach, my horses only say No when they do not understand the question or there is a physical reason why they do not wish to comply. Not one of them EVER has said No for the sake of saying No. “No” has never ever come from them because they’re lazy/stubborn/opinionated/hot/etc. In my opinion, these are human attributes that we project onto our horses to rationalize behaviour we do not understand.

✨ Clear and Consistent Boundaries.
I do not allow my horses to push, shove, step on, drag, kick, bite or rub on me. Just no. It’s rude. This is not how we treat each other. I will make strong contact with my horses when necessary and do not hesitate to enforce my boundaries around how my body is to be treated.

✨ Calm, Confident, Clear Handling.
I am extremely particular about how my horses are handled. So much so that it is rare for me to invite others to handle my horses and rarer still to invite anyone to ride them. When I am with my horse(s), I treat them as I would treat anyone who is precious to me. This is what Mindful Horsemanship is all about- being present and embodied in the moment, being tactful and considerate in our actions, bringing our heart centre to our work and being able to listen more than talk.

✨ Consent Both Ways.
While I am clear in how I wish to be treated by my horses, I aim to be equally receptive to how they wish to be treated by me. I avoid engaging in non-consensual touch, believing that grooming is a privilege and I am not entitled to any kind of physical affection from any of my horses, though they are mostly very cuddly. I do not bulldoze past their No’s, I pay attention to the details and act accordingly. I do not make them work for me when they are sore or unwell.

✨ Training Without Coercion or Bribery.
I am not against positive reinforcement training at all but it is not a method that resonates for me with my personal horses. None of them are hand fed. Ever. I used to use R+ for most training but stopped about 8 years ago as a bit of a mission to see if I could accomplish the same things without the food reward. I have, and more. I do not subscribe to the “Ask Tell Command” method of pressure and release. I used to get a lot done with this and was very successful as a competitor. As the relationship with my herd became the priority over winning ribbons, there is no longer a need to extract behaviours from them nor a need to always get my way. When this is what I want, I ride a bicycle.

I am wary to share this for fear of coming across as arrogant. However, my desire to bridge the gap between Horsemanship and Performance is too strong to let fear of what other’s might think get in my way. It may seem pretty woo, but honest to goodness my horses perform their hearts out for me. We do things in ways I never could have imagined and I believe in my bones that we can live in a world where horses and their humans are happy, healthy AND competitive at the upper levels.

I am not an equine behaviorist. I am far less educated than many people I choose to surround myself with (on purpose 😉).

This does seem to be a ‘hot topic’ though - and with that comes a lot of beautiful insight, equally layered with misinformation. It’s especially scary when spoken in absolutes from unqualified individuals, rather than an, “it depends!” attitude.

But… I do have a depth of decades reading and listening to the horse. So, with that I feel confident enough to at least share my 𝒐𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔. I also have been extremely intentional with practicing self-awareness over the last several years. With that, I personally think often about a specific shared human and horse experience I see occur all the time.

When I randomly do something nice for someone, whatever that may be, I absolutely do NOT expect anything in return… it’s actually the point of my gesture. I get so much joy from that; sharing a little reminder they’re thought of and loved.

I’ve never understood the concept of (and I see this happen often), someone doing something unprompted for someone, then holding that over them at some point in the future. As in, “well I did xyz for you…”. Presenting that gesture in an assuming way that they’re now owed something.

What an absolutely asinine, human thing to do. How sneaky, to come back and attach strings to unsolicited gestures.

I was taught at a very young age the Golden Rule. Do unto others, as you’d have them do unto you. I admit there are many, many times I have not followed that rule… 😅 but I have learned a lot from all those experiences that helped bring me back to my early exposure to the concept.

How does this apply to our horses… well… you probably have an idea. But from what I experience and what I overhear:

“I spend so much money on you, you can get out and do xyz with me when I show up.”
- As though our horses have any concept of monetary exchange and what that means, and frankly, 80% of the time we’ve got them in a non species appropriate environment with that money spent.

“I bought/bred you to jump, so you are going to jump; I’ll just get new training gear, you clearly have a behavior issue…”
- Believe it or not, our horses don’t actually owe us anything, nor did they ask to be purchased by you for this job, nor did they ask to do this job in the first place, even though a human bred them for it. Granted, I do think our horses land on the paths they’re on, often to share lessons…
- NOW, I am also not going to pretend our horses don’t enjoy having a job, especially depending on the breed and job type, but gosh, if we own horses as a hobby, it’s a lot more fun (necessary) to have them be an active participant by making sure we’ve set them up for the task we’re asking (also necessary). If you don’t know what that looks like, ask!
- In more rare instances; we have horses who are actually working a job with us. Gosh it’s pretty similar to us… IF I am a well-balanced human, doing the things consistently I know I need for my mental and physical well-being, I don’t actually need to love my job to be happy to be there. IF I’m fulfilled in my life and I don’t work with a bunch of as****es 🤷‍♀️, I’m happy to show up to work and actively participate. So, if you can’t provide a species appropriate environment/lifestyle/partnership… work may suck for them!

“I only have 1 hour, you need to step out and show up for work!”
- Well… golly. 😮‍💨

Here’s the biggest thing I feel around all of this… What does it look like to meet ourselves and horses where we’re both at… each day. Each session. Each interaction. None of this is scripted, and does require our effort, honesty and integrity.

I am not pretending to have always embodied the latter. Having been on BOTH sides of this spectrum; feeling entitlement with my horses and their role in my life, to understanding I’m owed nothing from them… I actually owe them, by choosing to share this lifetime with them, a life that allows them to live in balance.

I really appreciate what my dear friend Chiara, Un-Natural Horsemanship said one day this summer… to paraphrase; we just need to show up authentically… if we’re having a bad day that’s fine, but if we can show up to our horses owning that, they really extend a lot grace. But, accountability is needed, you best drop any agenda and flow with no expectations.

That goes for our horses too… meeting them where they’re at. A really good way to practice this, is practicing being a good listener to the humans in your life. It allows us the ability to slow down and look for responses, rather than reactions.

I have ADHD and it’s really easy for me to want to jump into a conversation and relate what someone is saying to my personal experiences…I think that’s okay… but I’ve worked a lot on actively listening while talking to someone, especially when it’s regarding a passion of theirs; asking them questions about themselves and what they’re saying… allowing them to dive a bit deeper into what they’re speaking on. (This also is a helpful tool for us neurodivergent folks that struggle with small talk… 😉)

Point being… This translates really well into inviting our horses to be active participants in the conversations we have. It’s honoring all the nuanced moments in time that allow us to grow as horsemen. And if that’s not always our goal… you may consider finding another hobby that doesn’t involve another living being.
