Glad you found it helpful! I honestly thought I was droning on and on about nothing. 😂

@@Theagingequestrian5335 Not at all! :)

Thank you so much!!! Yes, fingers crossed 🤞 the allergies are better. He already pins his ears when I put the fly sheet on, so he is not happy with it at all!! I even got him a zebra one so he could feel like he’s dressing up. 😂

@@Theagingequestrian5335 LOL that was worth a try!! :)

Thanks so much for tuning in from NZ! One of the places on my bucket list.

Thank you!!

Thank you! He has had two rounds of PRP and is doing well!!!

Oh geez, don’t worry about it! You have a lot going on! It’s all good. 😊

Hi! Thanks for watching! We have had so much rain that the pastures (at the point of the video) were standing water. Turning them out just tears the pasture up, and puts the horse’s at risk as far as injury and skin infections go. Thankfully, the way the farm is situated, the water runs down and away eventually. So the next day they were able to get out again because the water had drained off.

Some of them, maybe! Logan would love it, but he’d also cause some serious trouble because he’s a playful, mouthy, instigator. Some of the horses don’t like their neighbors and prefer to have some privacy. It’s tough in a full boarding barn because horse safety has to come first. Logan is super social, so it’s my job to make sure he gets that. I’ll walk him to see his friend Scooby, and other horses I know are social and don’t mind another horse coming up to their stall. That grey horse, True, across from Logan hates other horses coming near, so he definitely prefers to not see them! :)

Thanks!!

Ugh, I hope you're doing OK!

They work great! They are actually the OEQ brand. I got them from state line tack, and they are really reasonable. I had Dublin ones last year that I liked, but they run small so my toes were always squished. These are roomier.

@@Theagingequestrian5335 Ok, you use knee riding socks or knee thermal ski socks with them?

I actually have both! Depends on the day's temperature, as the boots are fleece lined. Sometimes my thermal socks make them feel too warm. I also have soccer socks and general boot socks, all work with the boots. I'm not picky about my socks as long as they do what they're supposed to! 🙂@@I.equitazione

@@Theagingequestrian5335 Ok, That brand You have soccer socks? 🙂

@@I.equitazione oh geez! I don’t even know. They’re from back when I used to play all the time. So probably adidas or Nike or something. But it honestly doesn’t matter. I just like socks with a little cushion that stay up, and soccer socks, ski socks, riding socks all work!

Thanks for watching!! Now that the holidays are past, I'm gearing up for more content.

@@Theagingequestrian5335 ❣

Yeah, it seems to be some sort of environmental allergy. Very weird!!

Great idea! We have a variety of opinions on that in the barn too! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤

@@Theagingequestrian5335 💕

True! It's almost as controversial as feed routines. 😅

Yes, I totally agree! Talking about it and supporting each other is so important. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Bets of luck to you as well!

I love it so much!! It’s been a game-changer for me. Takes all the guesswork and stress out of it.

I'm thinking of using this one to embed in my Equine Affaire ad. ❤❤

@cynthiagalante6263 Those ❤ horses. They give our own ❤s wings. Bless them all.

It’s hard to do it all! That’s why I like to pick just a few. The important thing is that we do something. :) Thanks for watching!!

Wow, I hope you’re doing OK now!

Was it a horse accident? How did you draw closer to the horse?

Yes! Thank you!

😂 yep!

Keep moving toward your goal, no matter the speed!

Thanks so much for sharing your story! Horses never leave our hearts, so even if we’ve stepped away from working with or riding them for a time, just being in their presence or watching them can be healing. It takes as long as it takes, and however you come back to them (it doesn’t have to be riding) I hope you keep me posted. 😊

@@Theagingequestrian5335 Funny to see your response. Before I even saw it I got in touch with a therapeutic riding center and my first weekend of volunteering will be next weekend. Not sure if that would be happening if not for this post. Thank you.

@@debbieredmon5063 I’m so so happy to hear this!!! From your story, it sounds like you have a lot of experience and compassion you can give to horses and other riders. Enjoy the way this chapter unfolds!! Wishing you the best of everything.

It is amazing, isn’t it? The more older riders I speak with, the more I realize we’ve all gone through something like it.

And sometimes it takes a while to manifest itself. Plus, outside events affect your feelings in the saddle.

I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

Good for you! It’s definitely OK to play it safer and slower. Good luck with your horse, and keep me posted on your progress! ❤

Yay, welcome!! I’m sooo happy you’re living out your dream. Horses are the best, and it’s never ever too late to learn. Let me know how things are going and if you have any requests for videos or info. I don’t know everything, but us horsey people are like a big tribe. Someone will have something that can help you out! 😁

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! So Logan isn't the spookiest horse, but he will spook and isn't brave by himself on trails or outside. He can do it, but he's always looking for something to spook at. I do think that in hand walking is great for helping out with connection and trust!

(hit the enter button accidentally) I've also had him spook and freak out while on the ground leading him. He reared and fell and injured himself when we were walking outside, so I'm really hesitant to do that so much these days. He seems to be more apt to listen when I'm on him vs on the ground.

Right on. I’m amazed at how many of us are out there, constantly questioning ourselves. But at the end of the day, I want a happy horse and all of our bones to be in their respective “one piece.” Thanks so much for watching and sharing your comments!! ❤️

Thanks so much for watching, and I’m glad the message was timely! Happy 3 months back in the saddle!! ❤️

Keep it up. When I got back after my injury everything felt unbalanced and just plain hard. I’m a work in progress and hope to start lessons again but what I really want is another horse. I’m not thinking OTTB (my first horse) would rather try a part draft or lighter cob. Thinking more cob less to fall off of!

@@Theagingequestrian5335 ❤

Thank you! Yeah, I think some serious scientific study is needed! I’m not entirely convinced the geese are innocent in all this …. 😉

You're so welcome! Let me know if you have any other requests!😊

Thanks! I will check it out.

And for lungeing and work in freedom before any ridden work look at Klau Ferdinand Hempfling ' Dancing with horses '. Best of luck to you. 👍🙂

@@carinegevaert3775 Cool, thanks! I love to read about all this stuff.

@@Theagingequestrian5335 yes, just bare in mind that books never give ALL the information but merely an insight. Until you go and have lessons with them, or find yourself a trainer from their schools you might become unsure, doubt the effectiveness of the exercise or do it all wrong at the worst.... The man or woman on the ground (aka your trainer) must be as clear as your mirror and be a bottomless pit of knowledge....not just a winner of cups or a judge who probably never had his arse in a saddle. Wishing you all the best.

Rock on! Second lesson in the books, though probably more now. (I didn't see this edit until today) I'm so excited you're back in the saddle. How is it going? Besides weird looking clumps in the middle of the ring, of course.

Going well! Just had to change barns as my instructor is moving. That added stress, and I miss the horse I started to bond with,, but I'm doing OK! @@Theagingequestrian5335

My trainer left the state so I had to start over, but that might have been for the best as this one seems much more safety conscious! @@Theagingequestrian5335

That’s a great idea! We have a lot going on at the farm at the moment with building things (as well as birds) so I have opportunity to do it. Thanks for watching and the suggestion! Keep them coming.

@@Theagingequestrian5335 Great! Looking forward to it! 😀

Thanks so much for watching! I’m so happy you’re getting back into riding; horse girls are horse girls forever!! Take your time, and enjoy the process. I hope you find a good barn/trainer to get you back to loving on the horses and riding if you want to go that route. Keep me posted!! ❤

@@Theagingequestrian5335 Thanks! 🙂

I love this video and I love you in your horse girl element!

Thanks! It was super fun, both the hat making and the afternoon at the track. I highly recommend it!
