This gorgeous guy is bringing me so much joy lately. I have been waiting so long for him to get older and mature. Finally, it is time to get going with him! He has been so trainable and happy out in the arena so far, learning to lunge and accept tack. Cannot wait to see how he develops in the next year. I named Eddie here (Eddie’s Dun It Again) after my late grandfather, Ed. I think he would have really liked this horse if he was still around. #aqha #westernhorse #aqhaproud #westernriding #quarterhorse #reining #nrha #cowhorse #ncha #reinedcowhorse #nrcha #westerndressage #westerndressagehorse #ranch #ranchhorse #country #countrylife

It matters. It matters where your horse goes for training. When I was a young intern with some of the best trainers in the world (I won’t share names/barns...), this type of raking was more common than not. In fact I really don’t recall a horse in the barn without some sort of swelling, bruising or bloody sides or mouths. It matters. I also remember going to the shows with said horses worrying about what people would say what a ring steward would say But no one, NO ONE, ever said one thing about it. How did they not see these marks on the horses? Why was no one saying anything? Money? Prestige? I still don’t understand. It matters. I left that world as soon as my required internships were up and I never worked for another trainer like that again. The longer I train, the more and more I realize there is a better way. And the better way can get just as impressive sliding stops, spins or piaffes. But it may cost you a 3 year old futurity. More often than not, if you are a fan of the better ways, you are also full of love and empathy for the animal, not just the sport. So you’re going to look for ways to keep a horse sound. Bring them up right. And slow. It matters. I want to be a Horseman, not a trainer. A horseman respects the horse. Mind, body, soul. We all have to make a living. But as a horseman I am always upfront with people about how I view quick fixes or demanded results. I don’t play that game. It matters. We can all keep learning better ways. We can all work to change the industry. We can choose the trainers we send our horses to. And we can alert others to bad practices. Always be a steward to the horse first, sport second. We can all do better. It matters. These horses matter. A relationship built on trust is always stronger than a relationship built on truce. *I do not own this photo; I was given permission to use*

"You've got to be fair to the horse, but it has to be a mutual respect. And sometimes people they'll be like, 'Well I love him, and he's my friend. I write poem...s about him and stuff. I just don't want to.... oh, gosh.... I just don't want to....' You don't want to what? Do your job? Horses that are disrespectful are not happy horses. You're not giving them a good life. It's a hateful, violent life. So by not stepping up and doing your job, you are being cruel. Because somewhere along the line, if he's ever going to be worth a damn for anything, someone is going to have to line him out, and then put him through 9 kinds of hell to get to where you change the behavior pattern he's been living his whole life. Well that's not very fair either. So you're better off to just have him behave." ~Buck Brannaman

Whiskey is a MODEL, okay??? Thanks again Tara Amyott

Incredible photo of VA Jason taken by Tara Amyott !!!!

Totally agree! Unfortunately, a lot of horses out there would need a lot of re-training and groundwork before you’d be able to safely get on and do everything in just a snaffle. Don’t go hopping on an ottb who’s been blowing through a leverage bit for 12 years and expect a full stop in a snaffle first session!

Sharing because I feel like this is an important sentiment that most breeders will truly appreciate and every owner should understand. #TagTheBreeder Stop and... think for a minute about the beloved show horse you gush about regularly on social media. Do you know off the top of your head who bred that horse you love so much? If someone asked you at your next show, could you tell them where to go to find another horse bred like yours? Many cannot. But even if you can, do you make an effort to help promote the breeder who brought your beloved horse into this world? If no, why not? Would crediting that breeder take away from your success? Would it take away from your trainers worth? I would contend no. But would it help to elevate a quality breeder and help others to find them when they are looking for a horse? Yes, hugely. Even if you can’t name them off the top of your head, I can almost guarantee you that somewhere, there is a breeder who still cares about your horse. A breeder who spend hours planning for the perfect breeding cross. A breeder who crossed their fingers in anticipation that the mare would take and be in foal first try. A breeder who watched in anticipation as that mare grew round and heavy in foal, hoping for the perfect foal. A breeder who gave up many nights of good sleep to watch that mare closely to ensure a safe and healthy birth. A breeder who sat beside that mare while she labored to bring your horse into this world and maybe even gave it the extra pull. A breeder who helped to dry off that little miracle and watched in never diminishing awe as they took their first breaths and first steps. A breeder who taught your horse all the basics and instilled a trust in humans from the beginning. A breeder who loved this horse and cared for them from the first breath. A breeder who likely found it hard to say goodbye when the day inevitably came, no matter how good of a home the horse was going to. A breeder who probably still thinks about your horse from time to time and would love to know how they are doing. A breeder who watches from afar while those babies they raised go on to do great things and cheer them on with every success, even if they are no longer within that horses inner circle. A breeder who repeats the cycle each spring and keeps striving to breed the best possible horses, even when they know that they may not get any credit when those horses are out winning someday. Without that breeder, you would not have your horse. Stop and think about that for a second. There is no horse industry without quality horse breeders. No matter what scale they operate- 2 mares or 20 mares- they are all valuable to the industry and deserve respect and recognition for their efforts. Breeding horses is not for the faint of heart. It is a tireless and often thankless endeavor. It can be as heartbreaking as it is exciting. Some years you bring healthy, beautiful foals into the world and their mothers get to raise them. Other years you may lose a foal or a mare or both and that is something no breeder can get past without a heavy heart. The average horse owner may not think or know of all that goes into breeding a horse while they are enjoying their equine partner. So I am here to shed a little light on the life of a good horse breeder. Most breeders love every horse they raise, do everything in their power to give them the best start possible and do their due diligence to get them into a good situation. I have been raised in this industry and can’t count the number of foals I have seen enter this world on our farm. So many have gone on to do great things and many times I am able to follow that progress and keep in touch with the new owners. That is best case scenario- to be able to stay engaged with a horse you loved from the first breath and know they have gone on to be someone’s beloved partner. Alternatively, many of the horses we’ve bred disappear and we are unable to keep in touch. This is the saddest part because you just don’t know. You hope the horse has a great life but you can’t be sure. So here is my request: take a moment and figure out who bred your beloved horse. Often, breeders are fairly easy to find thanks to social media. If you can find them, reach and let them know that horse is loved and thank them for their part in the journey. I can guarantee getting a note like that will make almost any horse breeders day and it only costs you a bit of time and effort. I think it would be great for folks to also take it a step further- when your horse is out winning, make a point to give some credit to that breeder on social media or to the people who ask about your horse or admire them. If a breeder is breeding great horses, make sure people know! If people out there are looking for a horse like yours, help them learn where they can find another one just like yours! To all the breeders out there, big or small, I see you and I commend you. To all the horse owners, I set forth a challenge: when you post about your horse #tagthebreeder Written by: Brandy Brown #FenwayFarm #Fenwayponies
