Oh happy day :)

Beautiful day for a snowy ride!!!! Thank you ladies for the amazing afternoon!

This pulls on the heart strings

Today is a truly sad day......... Today we must say goodbye to a truly one of a kind and wonderful boy. My stallion Boston Te Zip aka Boston was laid to rest this morning. ... He was loved by anyone that met him. The most kind and gentle stallion I have ever met. Loved anyone who had a moment for a scratch or for a walk along the lawn for a snack. He was often found nodding his head to anyone who would talk to him making everyone smile and giggle with his wonderful personality. Boston you were my main man. I will cherish you forever, forever missed but never forgotten and always loved. May you Rest In Peace my sweet prince. I will always miss you.

Do you ever wonder why some people have truly happy horses ? Horses that never colic, bang on stall doors, misbehave while with you on the ground and under sadd...le ? It's not all due to training. Its because some horses are allowed to be horses. The absolute very best thing you can do for every horse is let them live outside in a herd with constant forage. Let the horse decide with his group when to eat, when to nap under the shelter, when to drink and when to play. Let him learn his place in the herd. Horses do not need humans or our ideas. They need forage, water and oxygen .I hear almost daily from horse owners they they are scared to let their horses outside because they will hurt themselves. So you turn them out 1 hr a day and they go nuts. Meanwhile 23 hours a day their minds are going nuts as you lock them in a stall with "enrichments". Then they act like fools while you are trying to groom and ride. It's not the horse, it's the human routine Stop feeding your horses at 8 am and 5 pm on the dot everyday. These types of routines create anxiety in horses that leads to stress colic, ulcers, bad behaviors and more. Feed one day at 8 and the next at 820. Mix it up a little and stop making them live on a humans routine that you think is best. Weve worked with horses that had training as high as competiting in the Olympics but were no longer performing, all they needed was to live outside. In by allowing them to live out, they immediately went back to performing their very best . Let your horse be a horse , living out not only is mentally healthy but also keeps them in great physical health as well Were all about happy horses in training and board with us at Brock Griffith horsemanship. We get lots of requests to stall training horses, which we dont do. There is a reason we work with horses and behavior issues of all levels at our facility, we are excellent at finding the source of the problem. Not trying different equipment to make the behavior better with a bandaid. Humas are top quick to cage everything.. horses, dogs and children for lord's sake. Let these things roam free. For the love of horses, let them be horses. They will literally give you their whole hearts ** I am sharing this text (I've shared before) with my own personal picture.** shared from Www.brockgriffithhorsemanship.com Written by Leisha Welborn Griffith See more
