✨ We’re heading into the weekend and I’m curious what are you and your horse(s) getting up to? A ride, groundwork, a quiet groom and reset or maybe something you’ve been putting off and finally ready to begin? Sometimes just having a little intention going into the weekend changes everything. So tell me - what’s your plan over the next few days? 🐴✨🫶

Our routine has quite majorly changed with my pony now on box rest for at least two weeks and my other horse choosing to keep him company and struggling with the loss of his companions freedom. How do I keep on moving forward while we all adjust to this change? Thank you ☺️

✨ So yesterday, after a night flight, we made it home around lunchtime, unpacked, got the first load of washing on, picked up the doggie, and then straight off to the stables to reconnect with my boys. It honestly felt like a bit of a time warp. When we left, spring was just peeking over the wall and now everything is almost in full bloom. I spent about 4 hours with them. I have two types of grooming sessions… One is a quick flick - health check, maintenance, groom, hooves and just making sure everything is as it should be (and of course making them look extra handsome 😌). And then there’s the super groom - the full works. Extra grooming, really getting into the coat, brushing out the tails properly, little massages, trims, taking the time. Yesterday was definitely a super groom kind of day. Today we start building back into work/play/training again and of course some Z.O.Ë. bonding time 💕 I’m curious… ❓ Do you have different types of grooming sessions too? And do you have names for them? 🐴✨🫶

There's an ex-racehorse where I keep Ronnie who's a bit of a quirky guy. This weekend he came over to hang out with me and another horse who'd also chosen to be close to me. (Yes, horses are starting to like me since my energy around them got better!) Ronnie was off grazing, watching me, always, but content to just observe - huge progress from him being all manic and possessive over me! I was doing my magic breathing and both horses had their heads low and eyes soft, soaking it in. After a while, the ex-racehorse offered me his nose so I put my hand out and he was rubbing it all over, manipulating the end of his nose into funny shapes while he rubbed. When he was done he yawned a few times and then ambled off. I just wondered what this behaviour might have meant? Ronnie's done it to me when I've been grooming or scratching him but I wasn't touching the ex-racer at all, just breathing with him. 🫶
