✨ Funny video of Lenny today after he realized for the first time he can see me on his back! Seen himself before but today was extra cute… I mentioned in the week 3 weekly wins I got a new saddle and today was the first day I rode in it! Will share with you its only the 4th time I rode him or any horse in the last 4 months.😅 Can update you why if you’re interested? Be prepared for a higher/self power story and not and taking no as an answer! Love my Len, such a darling character 🥰 🫶✨🐴

I guess my other anxiety as I do not ride anymore...is managing the dentist! I think I get so anxious ( do not know why) before they come. Both mine are sedated. Little one has not had a bit in yet too so dentist struggles to open his mouth. So... I will be planning for spring dental visit, to improve on this! Work on my anxiety levels, work on little one opening mouth and creating a pleasant environment prior...Does anyone else get anxious over the dentist???? Any helpful advice/ideas gladly appreciated ☺️✅🤠

✨ Hey Get Gooders, something I think that doesn’t get talked about or taught enough is the importance of sheath and udder hygiene as part of whole-horse care. This isn’t just about cleanliness. 👉 When geldings develop beans or heavy buildup, it can: • cause discomfort or pain • change posture and movement • contribute to tension patterns • and in some cases even show up as lameness or behavioural changes ⚠️ Mares are no exception - udder sensitivity and hygiene matter just as much. Especially if they are breeding. We also shouldn’t forget the back end - for both boys and girls. This includes being comfortable with a gentle sponge wipe, taking a temperature when needed, and for mares, having their privates cleaned when required. What I want to gently but clearly say is this: 👉 It IS possible for all horses to be comfortable being touched everywhere. The only reason it often isn’t, is because they haven’t been shown how to feel safe, confident, and understood in those moments. Basically the way I see it is that all body parts should be tamed. Not just the parts we need to lead and ride. I’ll be releasing a way of teaching this soon in my Heart in Your Hand - Body Awareness Scan . It will be available: • as a level unlock, • as a one-time purchase, • and as part of a full course of relatable subjects inside the Get Good With Horses Skool when it is launched. The attached video is for fun filmed yesterday! Lenny the Kid has no issues with this kind of handling because I started early, back when he was a yearling. Weanlings and young horses generally accept these things quite easily, but given time and different experiences, they can become more protective and tense - especially geldings who may carry tension or trauma from castration. How comfortable is your horse with being touched everywhere on their body - and where do you notice the most sensitivity? Or another way of saying it is: If your horse could choose one area of their body to feel more comfortable being touched, where would it be?
