THE HORSE ORGANISER GALLERY
God I am one lucky horse owner....yes she's a diva, spicy, huge, does everything at speed and lives her best life!
Downside is she's arthritic, which she couldn't give a fig about! 🤣 she leaves that for me to worry about!🫣 Tbh I stopped worrying now she's nearly 15 because everything and everyday we have together is precious!
Yesterday we prepared for today, there are lots of ways people who have horses prepare for the physio!
This is how we do it!
I spent the evening reading up on last year's physio pages in my copy of @thehorseorganiser and took videos in case it rain as it was forecast to!
I will post more about today's appointment tomorrow, but for now, let's just appreciate this spicy loon🤣 and more poles!
Keep going big bird you got this, I got you and @thehorseorganiser has me!✨🐴💪❤️

Honestly, the things we tell ourselves🫣 blows my mind when you truly see it for what it is! Avoidance - doing the easy things over the harder ones because they are uncomfortable, and push you out of your comfort zone....ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!🤣
Sometimes I get a bit drained by winter, purely because I know I am her main source of exercise. I focus so heavily on tracking and movement because she spends more time in the stable than out. Not great for her hocks, I know, but she loves her stable, the rest she gets from the mud, and time to recover. What it doesn't help is her brain, so having her daily jaunts keeps her ticking over and this winter has been our best for that.
Saturday I saw that we had ALOT of rain coming in and the app is saying a week of rain, my initial response was, yay a rest for me, quick trips to the yard, so I can finally tackle the house! Then I felt guilty because it's not great for her to have a week off, especially at this crucial point in the season.
Then I saw it for what it was, my old lack of confidence and avoidance patterns, my mind rationalising why I should take time off. As I mucked out I made a tonne of excuses to myself to try and get out of riding my freshly clipped horse, in the cold and windy weather!
Then I could have gone home, because here too I am avoiding doing the housework, so instead I got on the horse.....🤣!
Had a lovely 20-minute hack with the gorgeous girl, celebrated just cracking on and went home to clean the friiggin house!🤣💪
Seriously, does anyone else get this???

This is what I am here for! Making my horse’s life better every damn day regardless of her diagnosis and yes I am a little nerdy, perhaps old-fashioned because I write things down, but hey it gets results!
I am not alone lots of people who too have the same approach change their lives, their horse’s lives and find that sweet spot by adding pen to paper.
My mission is that every horse has an owner who has a copy of @thehorseorganiser allowing them to craft their own manual. To help them understand and get to know them better, after all, we can’t remember everything - life is just too busy!
How’s your weekend been? We had crazy weather yesterday but managed to hack Friday so lovely being able to get out for longer now! This time next week the clocks will have changed, 🙌🎉 anyone else just a little excited about this?
Happy Sunday!

Yes, this really was our first time trying this🤣 poles haven't been something we do a lot of, so sticking to what we knew and old habits crept in.
I decided it was time for a fresh-on tactic.
This is my most potent time of year to get Daisy to use as much of her winter weight as possible before she goes out for the season!🙌
We always manage to maintain our weight so I thought this year we would try to get her fit in a more targeted way.
I have this all logged in the school exercise section of my copy of @thehorseorganiser main because it was SO SUCCESSFUL, I will be using it again, even blowing it out further.
What we can't do are tight turns at the mo. She has the physio soon so anything I do right now will be good to get advice on how her body is coping.
As you can see I had a quick hack out in a walk and trotted back, then into the school. She did have to halt a few times before going over mainly the long diagonal approaches because she gets excited and wants to trot(it's easier for her). She has to use more energy and tones up better in walk....i know super mean🤣!
Lovely 20 minute session, will be doing it again, thanks to all you grid creators out there for the inspiration to finally take the plunge.
One very happy ponio, she's been getting a bit bored with the go-to stuff, also the first time with Betty next door to school and so chilled! 🙌 win!
Do you use grid work? For any other grid combos drop me a suggestion below I am all ears, especially low impact.
Happy Saturday!

Faith....knowing when to push and when to let go, this was the moment I truly appreciated how far we have come!
It was all going on, she was a Diva, I sat calmly as I used to and I smiled and giggled my way through her jogging!
You honestly would not believe she is arthritic, she looked and felt amazing, but I know it was sheer adrenaline from the clip because I know her.
We passed the horses and went into trot to keep her moving forward rather than fizzy over! I couldn't believe how intuitively I rode, like the old confident me, then when we turned onto the track I took the pressure off and came back to walk and she bounced along!
It was 15 minutes, but on the way back I was waiting for the boil over again, but said to myself so what....nothing bad happen 19 minutes ago so deal with it.
We did just that together as a team, reading each other and bonding! ✨🐴
Lovely long stretch on drive.
So proud of us!. If you too have had or are having confidence issues, keep going you got this! 💪❤️it's always worth it in the end.

Beyond excited to be back in my giant onsie....strong fashion statement I feel!🤣
Planning this is my pre easter thing! When you have a pink-skinned horse getting that last clip in before the weather warms up is essential!
I tend to leave 3mm on just to be on the safe side, but I honestly feel like this is the last of the winter humps over!
One very happy but totally knackered equestrian, I don't think I could jammed any more into my one day off!🤣
Only 2 clips this winter so winning there!🙌
Have you had to clip again too or are you a lucky owner and it's one clip for the whole season?

It’s in the planner = it’s happening folks!

I had some annual leave to use up and was planning on painting some furniture, but the weather was with us....so it took all day hence late posting and P1, p 2 tomorrow!

☔Who cares?? It's winter just turn them away!
Me that’s who, it’s an equestrian dilemma, especially when they are semi-retired - keeping motivated, can be a struggle with all this bad weather knocking out your routine!
Setting goals and keeping a journal helps manage it. Emotionally and practically….we use it for targeted weight management goals and fitness tracker.
I know there are a gazillion apps, but I like the process of writing it down and it helps to see patterns. It’s all there in front of me, to review and recap then have the previous years to refer to as well! I know our partnership has grown from this kind of tracking, and I now have what I always dreamed of for us. How lucky am I?
After two days of not going to ride ended up riding and smashing our goal! Doesn't seem like a lot to anyone else but for us, it's a biggie!
The longer we can ride the fitter I can get her
= all positive for regulating her weight!
Setting goals along the way. Do you like to set goals too?
If you need it keep going you got this! 💪❤️

Honestly what would we do without them, she is truly a healing horse?
What the hell is going on with this crazy ass weather!!! Said sun today🤣 instead it was 2 degrees and I had my thermal chaps on!
Anyhoo, I am celebrating this weekend as a tiny win, 💯% whatever we want to do.... So we went for a longer ride than I can remember the last time we got up the lane! Had a bloody good trot back....cobwebs blown away!🤣
✨🐴 Grateful for you Daisy, you have kept me sane, it's been a awful 6 weeks!
Happy Saturday you lovely lot! How has your day been?

Ugggrrr weather apps!! Why do we bother looking at apps???
I had left my house and it was pouring with rain, as per my app! Got to the yard and it was well dry, so we made hay...and went for a ride!
Blessed!
Finished off with a good book, glass of wine and a recap of the week!
Cracking start to the weekend!
How are you finding the weather where you are? True to the app or looking at the sky for guidance....🤪
Ride when you can season continues...happy Friday!

HOW IN TUNE ARE YOU WITH YOUR HORSE?
Reading your environment
Knowing your horse
Knowing how your horse processes change
Taking time out to dot those “i’s” and cross those “t’s”....we have been together a long time and I know when we free school or long rein she's quite lively. It can be tough for a new horse to the arena paddock to process.
This is me helping both horses out.
If you check out my stories you will hear the audio🤣 and if you are curious how we got here get one of my Journals and work out what your horse needs too, it's not hard.
Just 5 minutes per day
Logging behaviour

Patterns emerge and before long you are smashing goals and making dreams happen. They are always talking to us. It wasn’t until she broke that we came into our own with this partnership.

Well it’s true we wouldn’t get anything done without it and for me, downtime is just as important as go time!
.

Day off vibes here so tackling the feathers and mud cling ons 🤣, she lives for her pampering, what else is there to do with the rain back to keep us company! Think the rest of the week we can work round it, still looking for that window to bath and clip🤞!
Anyone else feel like their horse comes in with half the field on them?

I know you should do it a certain way so they say...
but sometimes like this past winter, you just have to do an Elsa and let it go!
Mental health is more important than should ‘s so take care of it, do what you can, when you can and don't sweat the small stuff!
20 days left til clocks change and already the light and energy is changing!🙌✨
So for all of us that have struggled this winter, what we focus on expands and for us @thehorseorganiser HQ managing a business that specialises in an equestrian journal, I adopt the “when you can” method.
This allows me to focus on anything I am doing when I can do it. It prioritizes being kind to myself and my horse by doing what's going to move the needle for us and concentrating on the things I can control, not what I can't.
If you have had a tricky winter too, keep going you got this, 💪❤️the end is in sight and the extra light is coming!
If you need some headspace, to get planning for this spring too with goals for fitness and planning, horse care. Go for it grab one of our journals the framework will support you and gives you those personal moments everyday to write it down and take some time for you!

Totally unplanned but in hindsight really needed....took a set back for a couple of days!
Self care is something I have to remind myself to do, with Mothers day and family coming I just couldn't spin another plate.
I am sorry it seemed to be the right call to let the business socials have some time off, hope you haven't missed us too much! ❤️
Batteries recharged, time spent getting back on track with my copy of @thehorseorganiser and back to catch up on all your lovely post, adventures and celebrations!
So whether you are a fur mum or a hooman mum, happy mothers day!

What you focus on expands.....

More than anything else it's your journey, not anyone else's.
For me I have been rushing around again, feeling a little frazzled!
This is me rolling with it and taking back a bit of control in the everyday moments, to make a mahoosive batch cook so the rest of the week can run smoothly.

It’s a bit rude not to really , isn’t it?
I am keen to clip hopefully this next week so the more she’s out doing something the better for her freshness and fitness!
Lovely pootle again today, short and sweet, another I am not going to ride day, which quickly found me getting tack and going out!
Looks like we have a week of dry weather coming up, so hoping to start getting some longer rides in soon.
This is my main focus right now to work on her fitness. She’s arthritic and since we don’t have lots of bridleways, it’s mainly walking roadwork, with some occasional trot! So if I manage her correctly I can start shedding some of those extra winter pounds before spring kicks off.
So it may be 15 minutes but it all counts in our world! Anyone else got a good doer?

YOLO - make the best of it, it may not be perfect but small changes and tweaks lead to big things!
No one gets there overnight!
Mindset is everything for an equestrian and sometimes we like to really be mean to ourselves with negative self-talk and assumptions of what others think.
✅Work with what you have.
✅Ride when you can, emotionally, physically and mentally
✅Fitness can be achieved from 20 minutes a day, in the saddle, in hand, long reining, running up and down the arena with your horse it all counts as movement!
✅Be consistent and write it all down!
✅see the evidence and learn from life lessons.
✅ Don't forget to celebrate your achievements even if it's you turned your horse out!
If you don't want to ride don't, do something else that will celebrate your connection so when you do you still have your partnership.
Winter can be tough and this last one was a doozy!
I have spent this last weekend debriefing it and working out what I did, what I would do differently and what I want to do for this next quarter........
.......SPRING!
Do you feel like you have any learnings or achievements that helped you this winter?
For me, it was just doing the hard thing, and being kind to myself by being consistent.

Horses and Houses my two vices!
Today was one of those days.....off to see the newly finished lodge 🤩 on the farm track! It's gawjus, wouldn't you just love to stay there?✨
Houses are my second passion so I love nothing more than a chance to combine the two a sunny Sunday stroll on Miss Daisy!✨🐴 one of the upsides to our daily hacks to manage her arthritis, we go down a lot of different roads. Great chance to enjoy what people have done with their homes always gives me inspiration!
What’s your favourite place to hack?

Sometimes it's the smallest of wins that make the biggest difference!
I have had a tricky time with Daisy and respecting fencing this winter mainly because the ground is so wet and she slides into the fences at speed breaking them. More wooden posts to give it some stability next year.
Took some time last night to go to bed early, review my monthly goal plan and re-read last winter's copy of @thehorseorganiser. Result back to paddocking at least until the ground dries up.
Day off today, rainy one! Big Debrief for me this weekend on the learnings from February and planning for March!
So how's your month of February been? Did you set any goals?

What can you say?.......yet another break out and look how dark that poo is😱
I don't know if you are like me but I am always watching the colour of her poo especially this time of year. The darker = spring grass, so more hay and less grass....easier said than done when she keeps getting out!
So today was field change, ride, weight tape and add measurements to my copy of @thehorseorganiser .
I am rolling with it🫣 we are back in the saddle for the past two days, and I've moved her back to the backfield so less track....or shall we say race track🤣 more turnout.
Is anyone else obsessed with horses poo?
Deep breathe, keep going, we've got this and journal on!

Welcome to our world! Life stuck between a rock and a hard place.....I laugh but more as a coping mechanism than it being funny!💔
This IS our reality this time of year...I am resigned to it, doesn't mean I enjoy it. Every time she does it I think oh God, but it's like having ADHD it just comes out.
I love my horse dearly, but this time of year it's like owning a stallion. I try and get her out most days today even as we began our walk I could tell she was gearing up for it, so I kept it positive, shortened the wall, ended on a good note and turned her out.
All our horses have had a hard winter, we have ALOT of wet fields so turnout is sometimes playtime for my horse and she just needs to lift that lid.
🤞her hormones will settle and she will be back to her old adorable self. Right now it's carnage. 😩😭 I am tempted just to cut my losses and give her 2 weeks off, I just can't keep her clean enough to clip and in enough work to occupy her.
Is anyone else a bit fed up or has a fresh horse right now?

When you run a business selling an Equestrian planner @thehorseorganiser to help equestrians navigate their year for themselves and their horses....it’s got to be everyday life for the best content!
For me 5 mins everyday is a ritual to an organised life and horses life. Day off today weathers rubbish, so turnout won the toss!

It's truly little shit weather😱💯☔ and fresh horses!
I woke up and looked at my app in case there was a change....nope☔
Talked myself into giving her a few days off whilst it blows through and she gets it out of her system....good plan right?
Nope, it's just avoiding the fact that we need to deal with our environment regardless, hiding won't help! Pretty proud of myself here the old me would have ruminated on this, instead I took action and determined to ride positively next time.💪❤️
Got to the yard, no rain....so I tacked up and rode exactly what we did the day before, she was a dream, I think the swans are a bit scared of her now🤣 when we came back it was gone🫣
By the afternoon I was due some naughty Daisy, so because she wasn't at the gate I went to get her, which she saw as a wonderful chance to charge and cover me in mud😱🤣🤣🤣
I love my horse🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can't have it all in spring, I accept that.
Does anyone else own a troublemaker lary cob?
Happy Friday!

Honestly I have no idea how I stayed so calm today.... Turns your world upside down!!!😱
Decided to long-rein Daisy rather than ride, as the weather wasn't too bad, even though the app said 100% ☔, so we made the most of it.
She was doing really well, then the swans were on the road, passed them no problem, then started to dive for grass and jog when we turned for home!
Asked her to walk on oh my God you thought I'd for canter, talk about jekel and hyde out of nowhere the truly crazy daisy came out to play!
😱
We then jogged all the way back and just before we were about to pass the but where the swans were, she really went for it Broncing, rearing striking out, so much fun not!
Me: full thermals (I like to be warm but not that warm)🤣 having to wrestle a 16hh hormonal cobxshire loon back to the yard! Even the swan was not moving thank god as she tried to bronc and spin past🫣 there was no where to go but forward!
Pretty proud of myself, I stayed calm and managed the situation if not a bit sweatily!🤣🤣 what a little monkey! I do love her just not a fan when she's like this!
So this mark the beginning of silly season for Daisy, hormones are raging and I think someone is in desperate need of a lift-lidding session. Yay🤪
Bloomin Nora, horses sometimes you just have say well that didn't go to plan....look for the positives learnings and ditch the rest!
Definitely one for @thehorseorganiser keepsake journal where I can look back and laugh.
Such fun......have you ever had long reining issues? Share below cheer me up❤️🙏

Seriously thought about not riding today.....that whole “what's the point it's only one day”, the rest of the week looks pants!!!!😱
There's always a few weeks each winter when the weather just against you, still I do try and get out but occasionally I just give in and give her the time off.
Today was potentially one of those days...a hump day! Took myself off for a quiet word and came back with tack🤣🙌.
Keeping those emotions in check and not letting the weather get to me! 🤣 She was a poppet, lots to see and refilled my happiness cup back up, just what I needed. ✨🐴🥰 Thank you Daisy!😍
I am curious, does anyone else ever feel like this about the weather and stop riding for a while?

What the hell can you do????? Hijacked Sunday....
....Sometimes you just have to roll with it. I am looking/clinging to🫣 for the silver lining right now mainly my foresight in buying mud control mats a couple of years ago🙌! They give her somewhere dry to stand and munch bless her, she needs to go out each day for her arthritis so we manage her with these.
When you plan to have a chilled sunday, go for a ride and wake up to carnage! Needless to say it did not go to plan for lots of reasons, lost dog owner found🎉, lovely ladies gave daisy some hay, when I got to the yard it was late so opted to turnout.
Just sat down for a coffee and planning next week it looks like more rain!
How do you manage your horse in the wet weather, do you keep in or turnout?
Hope you are all staying dey and horses are well.

Finally sometime to breathe and go for a longer ride!✨🐴
We had it all swans, loopy van delivery drivers she just crushed it all and listened to me at every point, reaping the rewards of buying a young horse and 11 years together!
What a way to start the weekend, looking forward to much more of this.
Do you have anything planned?

Mid-month check-in time - it's been an odd month weather wise but we have still managed to get it all shoehorned in!
This year I have planned for down months Jan and Feb to work on fitness goals rather than time in the saddle.
It supports Daisy's arthritis more and takes the awful guilt you have, that you are not doing enough, away releasing the pressure.
So this month's check-in
Verdict is.....bang on track so far!✨🐴❤️
We are going to keep going because I have my trusty copy of @thehorseorganiser to plan and tweak so we have got this!💪❤️

Variety is the spice of life, right?
This is certainly true for my arthritic cob Daisy, keeping it varied and with movement at the forefront of the winter exercise programme.
Saving the groundwork, in hand schooling and long reining for the days the weather isn't with us or I am fancying some downtime and get eyes on her movement from the ground.
Every year is different and whilst I can rely on most things, some things have to change.
Long reining hacks are a new thing for us and she loves them whilst getting me fit too! They help me work with her to build her core strength without a rider and improve her fitness.
Do you use long reining as a fitness tool, I’d love to hear how often you use it?
Obviously, I am addicted to logging it down in my copy of @thehorseorganiser which helps me plan the week, then debrief for the new week coming. Sunday is our day✨❤️

Something about riding when it's sunny that just lifts the spirits doesn't it?

She could give a fig🤣, not bothered at all!!!!!
It’s a been another week of breakouts and ever expanding paddock to try and keep her put! Lots of hay but it seems to have opposite effect...so enough!
This evening I closed the track back down and paddocked her🤞 she begins to respect her fencing again.
Absolutely shattered, not much fun fixing fencing in the dark, still I had a nice sunset! It will be in the stories this audio was too good to not use🤣
Naughty pony! Anyway she's been taped, despite her best efforts she's not too bad. Fitness plan to counter her breakout is all planned out and to help her not to put any extra calories on!🫣
Do you use a tape for your horse?

And we are back in the room!☔ it was nice whilst the dry spell lasted. We have two days of solid rain so yesterday's ride was a welcome break although someone is feeling rather fresshh!🤣.
Probably all that breaking out sending her hormones right out of whack with the lush grass!
I see some when got snow....what weather did you get?

✨ celebrating this WIN!🤩🥳
Look who stayed in her paddock! 🎉 Not happy about it but it's great that she's respecting her fencing again. She has so much old grass to eat and just wanted the new stuff! So one happy horse owner right here!
First thing - day off so Winter walks with my best girl✨🐴❤️ before she houlies around the field.
Have you got a horse that likes to get out of their paddock? She does it every year.😭 currently 6 poles down she's a skilled machine!
Big win today!

Whatever your world looks like from behind those ears it didn't just happen!
It's a partnership...
Sometimes smooth as butter
Sometimes rocky as hell
It's up to us to translate their messages....take time and plan for your future together in our equestrian planner aka horse instruction manual!
Even my own journey has looked bleak with Daisy, and she has always found her footing, mainly because of consistency, stripping it all back and working on strengthening as a pose to carry on regardless.
As we continue to sow the seeds for spring, we were blessed with Daffs and a Heron✨ what a way to start Monday!
How was your start to the week?
Not long now✨😘mxxx

Windyy Day here in Somerset, wasn't going to ride, wasn't feeling it! She changed my mind bless her ✨🐴....didn’t go far today so I opted for a mini hack and schooling session all in walk to see where her body was at.
Not impressed she got turned around early and absolutely not impressed there was a second destination!🤣 Needless to say she wasn't feeling the school🤣
Daisy is a very quirky mare, but she is very clear when she doesn't like something especially when the grass is changing and those freshhh vibes are coming in!
Looks like this today!
Pulling the reins through my hands even though she was on a loose contact
Trotting instead of walk when I put legs on
Tense
So I focused on inside track work, some halt-to-walk transitions and serpentines.
The serpentines helped her focus.
Lots for us to focus on in the future, ended on a positive note. Spent the afternoon planning for the coming week and making sure I keep it varied!
Does your horses have quirks?

It's never lost on me how lucky we are to have them in our lives. As many of you who also follow similar people, it's been a heartbreaking time of loss for what seems so many 💔 and our very own BA @diaryofmydragon. 🥲✨🐴Ru🥰.
I have to say Daisy's my third horse I bought and paid for myself and whilst we are still soldiering on it's always there in the back of my mind that one day I will have to make that call again.
I designed @thehorseorganiser framework to support any equestrian from brand new to long in the tooth (pardon the pun) but we are always learning aren't we.
So for me and Daisy winter is a time to balance it all out and make sure I am working on her internal core to support those aging joints and arthritic hocks.
Long reining is one of those tools that just does it all in spades for us, we love it! Yesterday we did multi surfaces and mini trot to get a baseline to work from. 6 week plan is now set.
This year I am making her work on the inside track to help her support herself through self carriage. As you can see at the end.... exhausting🤣✨🐴❤️
I'd love to know how do you build up your horse's fitness?

Big goals first one clip Daisy!
Had to bring her back to the yard yesterday as she was too hot in her combo, so back into the 50g for the foreseeable.

💥One month done two closer to the light!💥
Sometimes it’s good we have this rest even if we don’t think we need it, it's been a weird old winter and as we embark on the month before the clock changes I am reviewing all our notes like crazy.
I have had numerous breakouts from Miss Daisy and have changed the track to give her more movement, and interest and hopefully shed a few more winter ILBs she's added.
Stretches
Ridden work
Groundwork
Inhand schooling and hacks
Also, long-reigning is all getting planned in.
So are you beginning to change your routine in preparation for those lighter mornings and evenings as the days begin to stretch that light?
Love to hear all about it in the comments

Do you? Asking for a friend here!🫣🤣
I always aim to be on time, however I can often be late, I know it's part of who i am and how I function so I always beat myself up that I can't be on time mainly because I hyper-focus!
Now I did create a planner to help however there are times when life is just busier than normal/ external stuff affects your routine and I get really cross with myself for not being able to do more about it. I am sure others can relate, or is it just me?😭
I thought I'd see what you all do for time hacks, give me your best in the comments!

How was your longest month? I thought it flew by, helped by the lack of rain and my journal I felt like I kept myself in check. 💔🐴🌈
Finishing the month talking goals, fitness planning, about managing long term conditions like Daisys arthritis using the @thehorseorganiser, why I created it and support it can give you if you need it.
I am no stranger to rehab, injuries and lame horses sadly, so knew the value of what I had learnt and how much it can help so welcome in @thehorseorganiser
As quick as having a coffee is all it takes to use this framework.....finding that time each day is important and helps us keep on top of all the things Daisy needs in her life.
The fact there’s a dedicated space right after hers for mine is amazing mainly because it’s exhausting trying to think of both of you! Takes the stress out of each week.
Just rock up and ride.
Review the month just gone
Reread my journal notes to stay on top if meds and body scoring.
Set goals for new month and debrief one just gone.
That’s how you use this framework easy as pie! Manage all appointment in dedicated section at the back. Vet, Farrier, Physio, Dentist, Saddler, track system.
6 years in the making, to support you to be consistent and support you through any vulnerable points in life like loss of confidence, injury or long term health issues, fitness and self care.
You are not alone, happy to chat in the DM’s if you are relating to any of this.
Keep going, you got this!💪❤️

The reality of an equestrian's life.... there's little rest but it's as peaceful as hell behind those two ears! ✨🐴
Topped off with my secret weapon @thehorseorganiser lunch date....a pause to plan the coming week and look at how this past month has gone!
How do you fit all your horsey jobs in, once a week like me or stop by whenever you need something?

I always do a lot review before I look at the next month goals, so lucky you here's some of the big moments for us!✨🐴
As it's the end of the longest first month of 2024....how did you get on?
Did you make and resolutions?
Did you smash any goals?
Do you like to do month wbs debrief too?

Love to hear them in the comments. Using our @thehorseorganiser to track everything, for us it's was all about movement, walking in hand, ridden or long reining anything to support her arithrtic joints and fitness in orep for spring.
Quite excited to get the goals set for Feb now.

BLOWING AWAY THE COBWEBS OF WIBTER SEASON! ❄️✨✨🐴❤️Been taking it super careful this winter as the conditions can be difficult for a stiff horse.
Keeping her movement gentle not too much of anything whilst managing her weight but keeping her occupied can be a full time job over winter with Daisy.
Using my copy of @thehorseorganiser to manage it all and appointments
Fitness
🐴Turnout
👉Riding
👉Inhand schooling
👉Long reining
👉Inhand hacks
Nutrition and weight
👉Warmer rugs, thinner rugs
👉Hay soaked
👉Hay dry
Physio:
👉Carrot stretches, tail pulls, shoulder stretches, quad activations.
👉protec masta rug by @masta_horse am and pm
Farrier and grazing
👉day off
👉Smaller grass paddocks when the ground is frozen
👉Time out of paddock in hard standing
These are all components to our winter routine, as we sow the seeds for spring.

One of her favourite days! Always grateful for her being barefoot I swear it saved her life.
She loves being barefoot, best thing I ever did once she got diagnosed with arthritis and switching to having a trimmer do her hooves!
She was always good for the farrier shod just hated the hot shoe on the sole and the smoke.
On D-Day I was retiring her and shoes off, she tracked up immediately something she wasn't doing shod, needless to say we never retired or looked back.
She's normally 8- 10 weeks however she's gone 12 this time with Christmas and other commitments so we kept them nice and tidy from all our pootles out up the lane.
So many reasons to be grateful for our routine to manage her arthritis, why we maintain our 10-20 mins walk most days and self-trimming is one of them.
Due to the fact she's a cob x shire she grows ridiculous ergots and chestnuts which if we don't keep trimmed split and bleed.
I am a little behind on the posts as I have a family emergency which took priority. So we are now playing catch up.
So all good on the trim nothing to report except as usual I don't ride due to them just being trimmed for a day to prevent any sole bruising. This time it's going to be longer due to other things going on and the hard frozen ground.
One happy Daisy!🎉All logged into her farrier section and be seeing him again in 8-10 weeks.
Have you considered barefoot for your horse?

I can't quite believe I didn't say this before, I have just found my horse's instruction manual......have you?
Said so many times by equestrians as they scratch their head trying to understand what is going on with their horse.
Et voila @thehorseorganiser helps, it gives you space and allows you to get eyes on those seasonal patterns.
Later that year on year like so many of my customers you have just created your own HORSE MANUAL!
Check out our reviews, tags and testimonials I am not alone in knowing the value of this amazing journal. Dated or undated it is there for you to support you and get to the bottom of those niggles.
I created this 6 years ago there was nothing on the market suitable and whilst I was knee-deep in rehab with a very poorly Daisy I refined it. Four years ago it came out and has been doing the same for everyone who bought one.
Yes, it does require effort and dedication but no more than you put into to your rising or horse management. You both deserve this.
Shout if you have any questions or want to buy one as a present for yourself or your yard bestie! Chaps they make a great Valentine's present too!

Blessed! Life with horses has always had dogs in it, however when daisy moved fields I stopped taking the dogs to the yard as a standard and now I have regularly make time to check in with Daisy and the dogs that they are comfortable around each other.
Hettie is 2 and never been loose in the field with the horse however Daisy is fine with Dogs loose in the field. I do trust Hettie been the amazing to train, and she's so good at recall, like her great grannie Clovie I think we could ride out together one day. 🤞✨
So the training begins.
Do have your dog at the yard or ride out together?

EPIC FAIL MOMENT 1st for 2024! When life gives you lemons and all that! Reading the room and making a change.
Someone has their horse watch out!🤣 oh Daisy, this was not the plan, 15 minutes after normal time and she took herself off to her spring paddock!
In she came happy as larry even falling asleep outside her stable.🫣 little monkey, evening spend repairing fencing for me!
Taking the hint, it's time to switch the fields around before the rain arrives and all that mud comes back!
So have been a bit quiet only so many hours and all that, decided it's time to get ready for spring now.
Have you made any changes to your routine now we are in January 2024?

Let's cut the 💩life in winter with horses is pretty full on, cramming absolutely everything you need to do in 8 hours of day light.😱
I honestly do not function well without a planner, and my planner @thehorseorganiser is designed to look after you, your self care and meals.
Your horse, exercise, diet, weight and rugs.
This week it has been a godsend, wet hay, dry hay, 100g to 350g, no riding, in hand walks, occasional rides.
Whatever you use just remember it’s a season and this soon shall pass! I can’t bear the mud, others hate the cold, focus on the light and those days getting longer.
If you need to grab a planner, undated £24.95 or dated £27.50 to your door! It would be a pleasure to pop one in the post and support you this next year.
Keep going you got this!💪❤️

When things don't always go to plan it's good to have a plan b!
Wasn't expecting it to get so hard so I have opted to walk out In hand instead, after all our focus this winter is movement.
Hard ground will only add to joint concussion in my arthritic horse so I see this as horse yoga, lots of stretches therapy rug @masta_horse and walks. All tracked in my copy if @thehorseorganiser, which for this week looks quite messy🫣🤣
Have your plans gone to plan or have you had to change your tack and focus on something else?
Stay warm and sound ✨🐴❤️

The light is changing and with this so are our behaviours! Lots of interesting stuff about Blue Monday, personally it's not raining and I am not blue about a thing with this gorgeous light to lift our spirits.🎉

Who doesn’t just love this weather, please can we have cold and dry from now til spring?🙏🙏
Today I sat in my garden in the sun, filled in my copy of @thehorseorganiser and had a coffee! 🥳
This time of year planning is key, lots of movement, ridden, ground or long reining it's all good for her. So we ride when it is dry and do groundwork on days when the weather is not with us.
It's getting lighter and I am noticing she's not that keen to come in, these are all welcome changes to the season. Are you noticing any changes too?

I get a bit too focused on her arthritis and forget to make more of our time together!
This was ALOT of fun something we have lacked due to the miserable mud and rain.
Welcome break🙌 I love the excitement she has when she realised we were running back too!
One lucky horse owner right here! So much love for my amazing arthritic mare it's always a balancing act, giving her a safe space to let the lid be lifted of rather than carting it round a muddy field injuring herself.
I think we succeeded today!🙌✨🐴❤️

Whatever you do in this weather you can't win or can you?
Consistency is key and with a few tweaks here and there life goes on, so don't sweat the small stuff.
For us right now I am concentrating on turnout and keeping my arthritic cob comfortable. Whilst the dry weather is a blessing she is still in a really wet field so comes in most nights really muddy.
To stop the water freezing on the ground I am tub washing her feet, this old buckets been with me for year's....weighs a tonne so perfect to wash her feet in.
She's then transferred into her protecmasta infrared rug and the off to bed.
Mornings her feathers are brushed off where dry where it looks like the invisible horse 🤣 and we go for a walk. More about those tomorrow.
Things are just taking longer but it's quite nice having the cold and crisp to finally get some jobs done. Sunsets and sunrises have been amazing.
How’s everyone else managing, have you had to alter your winter routine at all?
Obviously its all getting logged down in my copy of @thehorseorganiser so I can ditch anything not working and keep doing the stuff that does.🙌💪❤️mxxxx

Here’s an update from Daisy and me @thehorseorganiser HQ!
We are in hibernating mode here, batch cooking and hunkering down. So it's been cold and dry which is lovely and sooooo welcome after all that rain. Our ground is just a bit too frozen to get out, so taking some downtime to mooch!
How are things where you are? Are you able to ride?

Hell yes - that's our excuse and we are sticking to it! 😝
Just like every equestrian in the UK right now, any opportunity to head out under these beautiful blue skies and forget about these past few weeks.
Straight back to work afterwards as more copies of @thehorseorganiser headed out today!🙌🎉❤️
After a busy week relocating the business, it's great to be wrapping these back at HQ. Happy days ahead.

☔☔That's it I have had it with this winter!☔☔
This was my mood yesterday, constantly covered in mud, sliding everywhere, lugging heavy hay out to the field, and horse breaking out!
Then there was this, orange ball in the sky, today is like a whole new world...I think they call it hope and sunshine!🥳
Getting through winter with a horse that's arthritic can be tough and also such a worry! Everything causes stress to their joints, the mud, the lack of turnout the weather.
It is a juggling act trying to get it all right. There are no easy solutions and when the weather is as intense as it's been everything is compounded.
Today was a gift, I was really starting to struggle, and keeping others going whilst you are not ok is not easy.
This was what we both needed.....did I have time to do it, no!
Did I need to do it.... hell yes!
For both of us, we needed out of Groundhog Day and this was that day!✨🙌🎉
I hope you all had the sunshine and it helped as much as it helped us.
Sending hugs to you all and hoping you are all coping and okay. Welcome to DM if you are feeling it, doors always open.
Keep going you lovely lot, we got this!

I have come to the conclusion about this life......
.............It’s important to enjoy the ride that’s it! The good thing about an equestrian’s life IS it’s consistent, maybe a new year but life with horses goes on!
Don’t put too much pressure on yourselves this year you lovely lot......i am certainly realigning things for a more seasonal approach to my year, rebalanced, restful, abundant and fun 2024 with a concentration on consistency rather than purely achievement driven.
Have you thought about what you want for this year, love to know what you have planned?
Whatever happens keep going you got this and it will all workout in the end.✨💪❤️

Come free school with us, our no. 1 go to when we need to lift the lid and let crazy Daisy out🤣 here's how we manage her arthritis in winter!
It's been a while and I was really chuffed with her initial trot up, so when she let rip I knew she needed it.
Having a horse like her does take careful management and using my equestrian planner framework in @thehorseorganiser is essential to our year! We use the dated one, however the undated gives you it all too, just dip in and out, your choice so you can too start keeping a journal of your year together.
We do three days one day off ideally two ridden and one ground like this.
How are you managing this winter with your horse?

Today is a wet one so someone has the day off!
Two more days of work then I am off for Christmas🎉

Confidence building starts the minute you buy the horse in my book....if you take the time to always show them what they need to know then your future will be bright!
Most issues come from confusion, rider aids, horse is not being reassured by the rider, and so lack of confidence in each other.
If you don't know where to start grab one of my equesteian planners dated or undated @thehorseorganiser helps you get eye balls on behaviour and habits yours and theirs.
Trust builds trust and if you find the sweet spot, like Daisy's reward of extra strong mints, I use it as a motivator. Once we have passed something he doesn't like we stop and she has her mint, this reinforces to my horse that she did a good thing and so gets a reward! It’s not always a mint sometimes its a pat, but she always gets one for putting her bridle on then another at the end bringing me home safe and taking the bridle off again.
Do you use anything to reward your horse?

Some weeks just suck, don't they! How are you finding this winter?
Soggy fields, endless breaking out, fixing fencing in the dark and as a result, someone has piled on the pounds!
I have a dead spare battery, which has led to the escaping, glass is always greener!
After a mediocre groundwork session she decided when I turned her out to stand in my space, so I backed her up....undid her halter and sent her off minus her TREAT....fast forward FOUR LAPS OF A VERY WET FIELD PULLED UP LITERALLY!🫣
It's funny this was so normal for her and it's been a long time since it's happened you forget how dramatic she can be, well today she was back!
Let’s hope tomorrow she doesn't feel too stiff, such a worry!
Right I am off for a glass of wine and 20 minutes to write all this down in my equestrian planner @thehorseorganiser!
I am going to keep going because I have got this💪❤️mxxx

Why I do what I do with my arthritic horse, I see it as a warm-up to whatever will happen when she’s turned out and this can be quite varied! As my stories have shown you🤣🫣
Daily moments in winter are all about movement when you own a horse with arthritis! She is an active horse who likes to express herself, making sure she has this each morning whether it's in hand, ridden or long reining it all adds up.
We have Molly and she's barefoot, all these things make her life happy and comfortable and that is my only priority!
I use my equestrian planner framework I created called @thehorseorganiser dated or undated to plan and manage her months and quarters. This is vital for winter.
She's had arthritis since she was 9 and she's now 15 so I feel we are doing well. If you are at the beginning of this journey, keep going you got this 💪❤️ and you can always message me, I have lots of experience with it, things that worked and didn't!
For arthritis or anything else that requires management then check out our tags lots of people use them to manage their horse's conditions like us, @diaryofmydragon our BA who's mare has
Navicular and @thecobchronicles whose horse Harry has pssm.
Hope this helps

Winter with horses is not a lot of fun when you have to squeeze it all into 8 hours of daylight! 🙄
Spend a very wet sunday dodging showers and fitting in a weeks worth of poo picking, plus mending fencing because someone doesn't fancy what I had given her not her hay!🙄 can't really blame her!
Happy Sunday here in Somerset, now time to plan for next week with the weather app 🤣! How was your weekend?

Never underestimate the power of a good body worker for both you and your horse! How often do you have the physio out?
My horse absolutely adores her physio, Molly’s worth her weight in gold, she understands my mare 100%, she supports us both and actually I genuinely don't think Daisy would still be here without her!
There was a moment today when she was releasing which I wish I had a photo of, Daisy face was just a picture....pure bliss, she was in that moment totally letting go of all her tension which she carries in her neck.
At 6 months Daisy can take quite a long time to release, at three months it was much quicker. So for now we are back to quartet. Otherwise she's very happy with her.
I had sent videos the night before so we did a ridden assessment this time as I had just got back from my hack, just straight and only in walk and trot! Our playful youngster is not the most helpful when you need to do a quick assessment and Daisy wants to join in.
I have managed to pick up an eye infection from one of the dogs which is lovely, 🙄so hoping it clears up soon, hence the very sore eyes this past week.
So the physio section is all filled in and as we are now at the end of the year I went into the insurance section for this final round up to the year and exercises to do.
So if you like my horse use a physio, there is a section for this and a Saddler section, today we used both as her saddle needs a riser on the lhs.

Tough day! It's not one I will remember fondly, most of the raids are flooded and this is my first year without a 4x4, still Myrtle the estate managed just fine, Daisy is a superstar, well apart from nose dribble🤣 the weather is slightly stressful right now!
Since it's a new month, new week and final quarter of 2023!

Fires on, packing up more copies of my equwstrian planner @thehorseorganiser which will support you throughout your crazy equestrian journey and give you a fabulous keepsake to tell the grand kids all about!❤️

God I am one lucky horse owner....yes she's a diva, spicy, huge, does everything at speed and lives her best life!
Downside is she's arthritic, which she couldn't give a fig about! 🤣 she leaves that for me to worry about!🫣 Tbh I stopped worrying now she's nearly 15 because everything and everyday we have together is precious!
Yesterday we prepared for today, there are lots of ways people who have horses prepare for the physio!
This is how we do it!
I spent the evening reading up on last year's physio pages in my copy of @thehorseorganiser and took videos in case it rain as it was forecast to!
I will post more about today's appointment tomorrow, but for now, let's just appreciate this spicy loon🤣 and more poles!
Keep going big bird you got this, I got you and @thehorseorganiser has me!✨🐴💪❤️

Honestly, the things we tell ourselves🫣 blows my mind when you truly see it for what it is! Avoidance - doing the easy things over the harder ones because they are uncomfortable, and push you out of your comfort zone....ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!🤣
Sometimes I get a bit drained by winter, purely because I know I am her main source of exercise. I focus so heavily on tracking and movement because she spends more time in the stable than out. Not great for her hocks, I know, but she loves her stable, the rest she gets from the mud, and time to recover. What it doesn't help is her brain, so having her daily jaunts keeps her ticking over and this winter has been our best for that.
Saturday I saw that we had ALOT of rain coming in and the app is saying a week of rain, my initial response was, yay a rest for me, quick trips to the yard, so I can finally tackle the house! Then I felt guilty because it's not great for her to have a week off, especially at this crucial point in the season.
Then I saw it for what it was, my old lack of confidence and avoidance patterns, my mind rationalising why I should take time off. As I mucked out I made a tonne of excuses to myself to try and get out of riding my freshly clipped horse, in the cold and windy weather!
Then I could have gone home, because here too I am avoiding doing the housework, so instead I got on the horse.....🤣!
Had a lovely 20-minute hack with the gorgeous girl, celebrated just cracking on and went home to clean the friiggin house!🤣💪
Seriously, does anyone else get this???

This is what I am here for! Making my horse’s life better every damn day regardless of her diagnosis and yes I am a little nerdy, perhaps old-fashioned because I write things down, but hey it gets results!
I am not alone lots of people who too have the same approach change their lives, their horse’s lives and find that sweet spot by adding pen to paper.
My mission is that every horse has an owner who has a copy of @thehorseorganiser allowing them to craft their own manual. To help them understand and get to know them better, after all, we can’t remember everything - life is just too busy!
How’s your weekend been? We had crazy weather yesterday but managed to hack Friday so lovely being able to get out for longer now! This time next week the clocks will have changed, 🙌🎉 anyone else just a little excited about this?
Happy Sunday!

Yes, this really was our first time trying this🤣 poles haven't been something we do a lot of, so sticking to what we knew and old habits crept in.
I decided it was time for a fresh-on tactic.
This is my most potent time of year to get Daisy to use as much of her winter weight as possible before she goes out for the season!🙌
We always manage to maintain our weight so I thought this year we would try to get her fit in a more targeted way.
I have this all logged in the school exercise section of my copy of @thehorseorganiser main because it was SO SUCCESSFUL, I will be using it again, even blowing it out further.
What we can't do are tight turns at the mo. She has the physio soon so anything I do right now will be good to get advice on how her body is coping.
As you can see I had a quick hack out in a walk and trotted back, then into the school. She did have to halt a few times before going over mainly the long diagonal approaches because she gets excited and wants to trot(it's easier for her). She has to use more energy and tones up better in walk....i know super mean🤣!
Lovely 20 minute session, will be doing it again, thanks to all you grid creators out there for the inspiration to finally take the plunge.
One very happy ponio, she's been getting a bit bored with the go-to stuff, also the first time with Betty next door to school and so chilled! 🙌 win!
Do you use grid work? For any other grid combos drop me a suggestion below I am all ears, especially low impact.
Happy Saturday!

Faith....knowing when to push and when to let go, this was the moment I truly appreciated how far we have come!
It was all going on, she was a Diva, I sat calmly as I used to and I smiled and giggled my way through her jogging!
You honestly would not believe she is arthritic, she looked and felt amazing, but I know it was sheer adrenaline from the clip because I know her.
We passed the horses and went into trot to keep her moving forward rather than fizzy over! I couldn't believe how intuitively I rode, like the old confident me, then when we turned onto the track I took the pressure off and came back to walk and she bounced along!
It was 15 minutes, but on the way back I was waiting for the boil over again, but said to myself so what....nothing bad happen 19 minutes ago so deal with it.
We did just that together as a team, reading each other and bonding! ✨🐴
Lovely long stretch on drive.
So proud of us!. If you too have had or are having confidence issues, keep going you got this! 💪❤️it's always worth it in the end.

Beyond excited to be back in my giant onsie....strong fashion statement I feel!🤣
Planning this is my pre easter thing! When you have a pink-skinned horse getting that last clip in before the weather warms up is essential!
I tend to leave 3mm on just to be on the safe side, but I honestly feel like this is the last of the winter humps over!
One very happy but totally knackered equestrian, I don't think I could jammed any more into my one day off!🤣
Only 2 clips this winter so winning there!🙌
Have you had to clip again too or are you a lucky owner and it's one clip for the whole season?

☔Who cares?? It's winter just turn them away!
Me that’s who, it’s an equestrian dilemma, especially when they are semi-retired - keeping motivated, can be a struggle with all this bad weather knocking out your routine!
Setting goals and keeping a journal helps manage it. Emotionally and practically….we use it for targeted weight management goals and fitness tracker.
I know there are a gazillion apps, but I like the process of writing it down and it helps to see patterns. It’s all there in front of me, to review and recap then have the previous years to refer to as well! I know our partnership has grown from this kind of tracking, and I now have what I always dreamed of for us. How lucky am I?
After two days of not going to ride ended up riding and smashing our goal! Doesn't seem like a lot to anyone else but for us, it's a biggie!
The longer we can ride the fitter I can get her
= all positive for regulating her weight!
Setting goals along the way. Do you like to set goals too?
If you need it keep going you got this! 💪❤️

What the hell is going on with this crazy ass weather!!! Said sun today🤣 instead it was 2 degrees and I had my thermal chaps on!
Anyhoo, I am celebrating this weekend as a tiny win, 💯% whatever we want to do.... So we went for a longer ride than I can remember the last time we got up the lane! Had a bloody good trot back....cobwebs blown away!🤣

Ugggrrr weather apps!! Why do we bother looking at apps???
I had left my house and it was pouring with rain, as per my app! Got to the yard and it was well dry, so we made hay...and went for a ride!
Blessed!
Finished off with a good book, glass of wine and a recap of the week!
Cracking start to the weekend!
How are you finding the weather where you are? True to the app or looking at the sky for guidance....🤪
Ride when you can season continues...happy Friday!

HOW IN TUNE ARE YOU WITH YOUR HORSE?
Reading your environment
Knowing your horse
Knowing how your horse processes change
Taking time out to dot those “i’s” and cross those “t’s”....we have been together a long time and I know when we free school or long rein she's quite lively. It can be tough for a new horse to the arena paddock to process.
This is me helping both horses out.
If you check out my stories you will hear the audio🤣 and if you are curious how we got here get one of my Journals and work out what your horse needs too, it's not hard.
Just 5 minutes per day
Logging behaviour
Actions
Outcomes
Patterns emerge and before long you are smashing goals and making dreams happen. They are always talking to us. It wasn’t until she broke that we came into our own with this partnership. Don't struggle on with horse issues, there’s a much better way, and my equestrian planner @thehorseorganiser is it! Check out our tags and reviews.🙌✨🐴❤️ £24.95 undated £27.50 dated to your door and we have a support group on Facebook.

Day off vibes here so tackling the feathers and mud cling ons 🤣, she lives for her pampering, what else is there to do with the rain back to keep us company! Think the rest of the week we can work round it, still looking for that window to bath and clip🤞!

I know you should do it a certain way so they say...
but sometimes like this past winter, you just have to do an Elsa and let it go!
Mental health is more important than should ‘s so take care of it, do what you can, when you can and don't sweat the small stuff!
20 days left til clocks change and already the light and energy is changing!🙌✨
So for all of us that have struggled this winter, what we focus on expands and for us @thehorseorganiser HQ managing a business that specialises in an equestrian journal, I adopt the “when you can” method.
This allows me to focus on anything I am doing when I can do it. It prioritizes being kind to myself and my horse by doing what's going to move the needle for us and concentrating on the things I can control, not what I can't.
If you have had a tricky winter too, keep going you got this, 💪❤️the end is in sight and the extra light is coming!
If you need some headspace, to get planning for this spring too with goals for fitness and planning, horse care. Go for it grab one of our journals the framework will support you and gives you those personal moments everyday to write it down and take some time for you!

Totally unplanned but in hindsight really needed....took a set back for a couple of days!
Self care is something I have to remind myself to do, with Mothers day and family coming I just couldn't spin another plate.
I am sorry it seemed to be the right call to let the business socials have some time off, hope you haven't missed us too much! ❤️
Batteries recharged, time spent getting back on track with my copy of @thehorseorganiser and back to catch up on all your lovely post, adventures and celebrations!
So whether you are a fur mum or a hooman mum, happy mothers day!

What you focus on expands.....
......so take the time to work out what it is you want from your equestrian year and horse!
More than anything else it's your journey, not anyone else's.
For me I have been rushing around again, feeling a little frazzled!
This is me rolling with it and taking back a bit of control in the everyday moments, to make a mahoosive batch cook so the rest of the week can run smoothly.

It’s a bit rude not to really , isn’t it?
I am keen to clip hopefully this next week so the more she’s out doing something the better for her freshness and fitness!
Lovely pootle again today, short and sweet, another I am not going to ride day, which quickly found me getting tack and going out!
Looks like we have a week of dry weather coming up, so hoping to start getting some longer rides in soon.
This is my main focus right now to work on her fitness. She’s arthritic and since we don’t have lots of bridleways, it’s mainly walking roadwork, with some occasional trot! So if I manage her correctly I can start shedding some of those extra winter pounds before spring kicks off.
So it may be 15 minutes but it all counts in our world! Anyone else got a good doer?

YOLO - make the best of it, it may not be perfect but small changes and tweaks lead to big things!
No one gets there overnight!
Mindset is everything for an equestrian and sometimes we like to really be mean to ourselves with negative self-talk and assumptions of what others think.
✅Work with what you have.
✅Ride when you can, emotionally, physically and mentally
✅Fitness can be achieved from 20 minutes a day, in the saddle, in hand, long reining, running up and down the arena with your horse it all counts as movement!
✅Be consistent and write it all down!
✅see the evidence and learn from life lessons.
✅ Don't forget to celebrate your achievements even if it's you turned your horse out!
If you don't want to ride don't, do something else that will celebrate your connection so when you do you still have your partnership.
Winter can be tough and this last one was a doozy!
I have spent this last weekend debriefing it and working out what I did, what I would do differently and what I want to do for this next quarter........
.......SPRING!
Do you feel like you have any learnings or achievements that helped you this winter?
For me, it was just doing the hard thing, and being kind to myself by being consistent.

Horses and Houses my two vices!
Today was one of those days.....off to see the newly finished lodge 🤩 on the farm track! It's gawjus, wouldn't you just love to stay there?✨
Houses are my second passion so I love nothing more than a chance to combine the two a sunny Sunday stroll on Miss Daisy!✨🐴 one of the upsides to our daily hacks to manage her arthritis, we go down a lot of different roads. Great chance to enjoy what people have done with their homes always gives me inspiration!

Sometimes it's the smallest of wins that make the biggest difference!
I have had a tricky time with Daisy and respecting fencing this winter mainly because the ground is so wet and she slides into the fences at speed breaking them. More wooden posts to give it some stability next year.
Took some time last night to go to bed early, review my monthly goal plan and re-read last winter's copy of @thehorseorganiser. Result back to paddocking at least until the ground dries up.
Day off today, rainy one! Big Debrief for me this weekend on the learnings from February and planning for March!
So how's your month of February been? Did you set any goals?

What can you say?.......yet another break out and look how dark that poo is😱
I don't know if you are like me but I am always watching the colour of her poo especially this time of year. The darker = spring grass, so more hay and less grass....easier said than done when she keeps getting out!
So today was field change, ride, weight tape and add measurements to my copy of @thehorseorganiser .
I am rolling with it🫣 we are back in the saddle for the past two days, and I've moved her back to the backfield so less track....or shall we say race track🤣 more turnout.
Is anyone else obsessed with horses poo?
Deep breathe, keep going, we've got this and journal on!

Needless to say she wore herself out with her self-exercising yesterday, we had a lovely mooch today!

Don't get too excited she broke out that afternoon, took the posts out the lot😩😭

Welcome to our world! Life stuck between a rock and a hard place.....I laugh but more as a coping mechanism than it being funny!💔
This IS our reality this time of year...I am resigned to it, doesn't mean I enjoy it. Every time she does it I think oh God, but it's like having ADHD it just comes out.
I love my horse dearly, but this time of year it's like owning a stallion. I try and get her out most days today even as we began our walk I could tell she was gearing up for it, so I kept it positive, shortened the wall, ended on a good note and turned her out.
All our horses have had a hard winter, we have ALOT of wet fields so turnout is sometimes playtime for my horse and she just needs to lift that lid.
🤞her hormones will settle and she will be back to her old adorable self. Right now it's carnage. 😩😭 I am tempted just to cut my losses and give her 2 weeks off, I just can't keep her clean enough to clip and in enough work to occupy her.
Is anyone else a bit fed up or has a fresh horse right now?

When you run a business selling an Equestrian planner @thehorseorganiser to help equestrians navigate their year for themselves and their horses....it’s got to be everyday life for the best content!
For me 5 mins everyday is a ritual to an organised life and horses life. Day off today weathers rubbish, so turnout won the toss!

It's truly little shit weather😱💯☔ and fresh horses!
I woke up and looked at my app in case there was a change....nope☔
Talked myself into giving her a few days off whilst it blows through and she gets it out of her system....good plan right?
Nope, it's just avoiding the fact that we need to deal with our environment regardless, hiding won't help! Pretty proud of myself here the old me would have ruminated on this, instead I took action and determined to ride positively next time.💪❤️
Got to the yard, no rain....so I tacked up and rode exactly what we did the day before, she was a dream, I think the swans are a bit scared of her now🤣 when we came back it was gone🫣
By the afternoon I was due some naughty Daisy, so because she wasn't at the gate I went to get her, which she saw as a wonderful chance to charge and cover me in mud😱🤣🤣🤣
I love my horse🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can't have it all in spring, I accept that.
Does anyone else own a troublemaker lary cob?
Happy Friday!

Honestly I have no idea how I stayed so calm today.... Turns your world upside down!!!😱
Decided to long-rein Daisy rather than ride, as the weather wasn't too bad, even though the app said 100% ☔, so we made the most of it.
She was doing really well, then the swans were on the road, passed them no problem, then started to dive for grass and jog when we turned for home!
Asked her to walk on oh my God you thought I'd for canter, talk about jekel and hyde out of nowhere the truly crazy daisy came out to play!
😱
We then jogged all the way back and just before we were about to pass the but where the swans were, she really went for it Broncing, rearing striking out, so much fun not!
Me: full thermals (I like to be warm but not that warm)🤣 having to wrestle a 16hh hormonal cobxshire loon back to the yard! Even the swan was not moving thank god as she tried to bronc and spin past🫣 there was no where to go but forward!
Pretty proud of myself, I stayed calm and managed the situation if not a bit sweatily!🤣🤣 what a little monkey! I do love her just not a fan when she's like this!
So this mark the beginning of silly season for Daisy, hormones are raging and I think someone is in desperate need of a lift-lidding session. Yay🤪
Bloomin Nora, horses sometimes you just have say well that didn't go to plan....look for the positives learnings and ditch the rest!
Definitely one for @thehorseorganiser keepsake journal where I can look back and laugh.
Such fun......have you ever had long reining issues? Share below cheer me up❤️🙏

Seriously thought about not riding today.....that whole “what's the point it's only one day”, the rest of the week looks pants!!!!😱
There's always a few weeks each winter when the weather just against you, still I do try and get out but occasionally I just give in and give her the time off.
Today was potentially one of those days...a hump day! Took myself off for a quiet word and came back with tack🤣🙌.
Keeping those emotions in check and not letting the weather get to me! 🤣 She was a poppet, lots to see and refilled my happiness cup back up, just what I needed. ✨🐴🥰 Thank you Daisy!😍
I am curious, does anyone else ever feel like this about the weather and stop riding for a while?

What the hell can you do????? Hijacked Sunday....
....Sometimes you just have to roll with it. I am looking/clinging to🫣 for the silver lining right now mainly my foresight in buying mud control mats a couple of years ago🙌! They give her somewhere dry to stand and munch bless her, she needs to go out each day for her arthritis so we manage her with these.
When you plan to have a chilled sunday, go for a ride and wake up to carnage! Needless to say it did not go to plan for lots of reasons, lost dog owner found🎉, lovely ladies gave daisy some hay, when I got to the yard it was late so opted to turnout.
Just sat down for a coffee and planning next week it looks like more rain!
How do you manage your horse in the wet weather, do you keep in or turnout?
Hope you are all staying dey and horses are well.

We had it all swans, loopy van delivery drivers she just crushed it all and listened to me at every point, reaping the rewards of buying a young horse and 11 years together!
What a way to start the weekend, looking forward to much more of this.
Do you have anything planned?

Mid-month check-in time - it's been an odd month weather wise but we have still managed to get it all shoehorned in!
This year I have planned for down months Jan and Feb to work on fitness goals rather than time in the saddle.
It supports Daisy's arthritis more and takes the awful guilt you have, that you are not doing enough, away releasing the pressure.
So this month's check-in
Verdict is.....bang on track so far!✨🐴❤️
We are going to keep going because I have my trusty copy of @thehorseorganiser to plan and tweak so we have got this!💪❤️

Variety is the spice of life, right?
This is certainly true for my arthritic cob Daisy, keeping it varied and with movement at the forefront of the winter exercise programme.
Saving the groundwork, in hand schooling and long reining for the days the weather isn't with us or I am fancying some downtime and get eyes on her movement from the ground.
Every year is different and whilst I can rely on most things, some things have to change.
Long reining hacks are a new thing for us and she loves them whilst getting me fit too! They help me work with her to build her core strength without a rider and improve her fitness.
Do you use long reining as a fitness tool, I’d love to hear how often you use it?
Obviously, I am addicted to logging it down in my copy of @thehorseorganiser which helps me plan the week, then debrief for the new week coming. Sunday is our day✨❤️

She could give a fig🤣, not bothered at all!!!!!
It’s a been another week of breakouts and ever expanding paddock to try and keep her put! Lots of hay but it seems to have opposite effect...so enough!
This evening I closed the track back down and paddocked her🤞 she begins to respect her fencing again.
Absolutely shattered, not much fun fixing fencing in the dark, still I had a nice sunset! It will be in the stories this audio was too good to not use🤣
Naughty pony! Anyway she's been taped, despite her best efforts she's not too bad. Fitness plan to counter her breakout is all planned out and to help her not to put any extra calories on!🫣
Do you use a tape for your horse?

And we are back in the room!☔ it was nice whilst the dry spell lasted. We have two days of solid rain so yesterday's ride was a welcome break although someone is feeling rather fresshh!🤣.
Probably all that breaking out sending her hormones right out of whack with the lush grass!
I see some when got snow....what weather did you get?

Look who stayed in her paddock! 🎉 Not happy about it but it's great that she's respecting her fencing again. She has so much old grass to eat and just wanted the new stuff! So one happy horse owner right here!
First thing - day off so Winter walks with my best girl✨🐴❤️ before she houlies around the field.
Have you got a horse that likes to get out of their paddock? She does it every year.😭 currently 6 poles down she's a skilled machine!
Big win today!

Whatever your world looks like from behind those ears it didn't just happen!
It's a partnership...
Sometimes smooth as butter
Sometimes rocky as hell
It's up to us to translate their messages....take time and plan for your future together in our equestrian planner aka horse instruction manual!
Even my own journey has looked bleak with Daisy, and she has always found her footing, mainly because of consistency, stripping it all back and working on strengthening as a pose to carry on regardless.
As we continue to sow the seeds for spring, we were blessed with Daffs and a Heron✨ what a way to start Monday!
How was your start to the week?
Not long now✨😘mxxx

Windyy Day here in Somerset, wasn't going to ride, wasn't feeling it! She changed my mind bless her ✨🐴....didn’t go far today so I opted for a mini hack and schooling session all in walk to see where her body was at.
Not impressed she got turned around early and absolutely not impressed there was a second destination!🤣 Needless to say she wasn't feeling the school🤣
Daisy is a very quirky mare, but she is very clear when she doesn't like something especially when the grass is changing and those freshhh vibes are coming in!
Looks like this today!
Pulling the reins through my hands even though she was on a loose contact
Trotting instead of walk when I put legs on
Tense
So I focused on inside track work, some halt-to-walk transitions and serpentines.
The serpentines helped her focus.
Lots for us to focus on in the future, ended on a positive note. Spent the afternoon planning for the coming week and making sure I keep it varied!
Does your horses have quirks?

It's never lost on me how lucky we are to have them in our lives. As many of you who also follow similar people, it's been a heartbreaking time of loss for what seems so many 💔 and our very own BA @diaryofmydragon. 🥲✨🐴Ru🥰.
I have to say Daisy's my third horse I bought and paid for myself and whilst we are still soldiering on it's always there in the back of my mind that one day I will have to make that call again.
I designed @thehorseorganiser framework to support any equestrian from brand new to long in the tooth (pardon the pun) but we are always learning aren't we.
So for me and Daisy winter is a time to balance it all out and make sure I am working on her internal core to support those aging joints and arthritic hocks.
Long reining is one of those tools that just does it all in spades for us, we love it! Yesterday we did multi surfaces and mini trot to get a baseline to work from. 6 week plan is now set.
This year I am making her work on the inside track to help her support herself through self carriage. As you can see at the end.... exhausting🤣✨🐴❤️
I'd love to know how do you build up your horse's fitness?

💥One month done two closer to the light!💥
Sometimes it’s good we have this rest even if we don’t think we need it, it's been a weird old winter and as we embark on the month before the clock changes I am reviewing all our notes like crazy.
I have had numerous breakouts from Miss Daisy and have changed the track to give her more movement, and interest and hopefully shed a few more winter ILBs she's added.
Stretches
Ridden work
Groundwork
Inhand schooling and hacks
Also, long-reigning is all getting planned in.
So are you beginning to change your routine in preparation for those lighter mornings and evenings as the days begin to stretch that light?
Love to hear all about it in the comments

Do you? Asking for a friend here!🫣🤣
I always aim to be on time, however I can often be late, I know it's part of who i am and how I function so I always beat myself up that I can't be on time mainly because I hyper-focus!
Now I did create a planner to help however there are times when life is just busier than normal/ external stuff affects your routine and I get really cross with myself for not being able to do more about it. I am sure others can relate, or is it just me?😭
I thought I'd see what you all do for time hacks, give me your best in the comments!

How was your longest month? I thought it flew by, helped by the lack of rain and my journal I felt like I kept myself in check. 💔🐴🌈
Finishing the month talking goals, fitness planning, about managing long term conditions like Daisys arthritis using the @thehorseorganiser, why I created it and support it can give you if you need it.
I am no stranger to rehab, injuries and lame horses sadly, so knew the value of what I had learnt and how much it can help so welcome in @thehorseorganiser
As quick as having a coffee is all it takes to use this framework.....finding that time each day is important and helps us keep on top of all the things Daisy needs in her life.
The fact there’s a dedicated space right after hers for mine is amazing mainly because it’s exhausting trying to think of both of you! Takes the stress out of each week.
Just rock up and ride.
Review the month just gone
Reread my journal notes to stay on top if meds and body scoring.
Set goals for new month and debrief one just gone.
That’s how you use this framework easy as pie! Manage all appointment in dedicated section at the back. Vet, Farrier, Physio, Dentist, Saddler, track system.
6 years in the making, to support you to be consistent and support you through any vulnerable points in life like loss of confidence, injury or long term health issues, fitness and self care.
You are not alone, happy to chat in the DM’s if you are relating to any of this.
Keep going, you got this!💪❤️

Love to hear them in the comments. Using our @thehorseorganiser to track everything, for us it's was all about movement, walking in hand, ridden or long reining anything to support her arithrtic joints and fitness in orep for spring.
Quite excited to get the goals set for Feb now.

BLOWING AWAY THE COBWEBS OF WIBTER SEASON! ❄️✨✨🐴❤️Been taking it super careful this winter as the conditions can be difficult for a stiff horse.

One of her favourite days! Always grateful for her being barefoot I swear it saved her life.
She loves being barefoot, best thing I ever did once she got diagnosed with arthritis and switching to having a trimmer do her hooves!
She was always good for the farrier shod just hated the hot shoe on the sole and the smoke.
On D-Day I was retiring her and shoes off, she tracked up immediately something she wasn't doing shod, needless to say we never retired or looked back.
She's normally 8- 10 weeks however she's gone 12 this time with Christmas and other commitments so we kept them nice and tidy from all our pootles out up the lane.
So many reasons to be grateful for our routine to manage her arthritis, why we maintain our 10-20 mins walk most days and self-trimming is one of them.
Due to the fact she's a cob x shire she grows ridiculous ergots and chestnuts which if we don't keep trimmed split and bleed.
I am a little behind on the posts as I have a family emergency which took priority. So we are now playing catch up.
So all good on the trim nothing to report except as usual I don't ride due to them just being trimmed for a day to prevent any sole bruising. This time it's going to be longer due to other things going on and the hard frozen ground.
One happy Daisy!🎉All logged into her farrier section and be seeing him again in 8-10 weeks.
Have you considered barefoot for your horse?

I can't quite believe I didn't say this before, I have just found my horse's instruction manual......have you?
Said so many times by equestrians as they scratch their head trying to understand what is going on with their horse.
Et voila @thehorseorganiser helps, it gives you space and allows you to get eyes on those seasonal patterns.
Later that year on year like so many of my customers you have just created your own HORSE MANUAL!
Check out our reviews, tags and testimonials I am not alone in knowing the value of this amazing journal. Dated or undated it is there for you to support you and get to the bottom of those niggles.
I created this 6 years ago there was nothing on the market suitable and whilst I was knee-deep in rehab with a very poorly Daisy I refined it. Four years ago it came out and has been doing the same for everyone who bought one.
Yes, it does require effort and dedication but no more than you put into to your rising or horse management. You both deserve this.
Shout if you have any questions or want to buy one as a present for yourself or your yard bestie! Chaps they make a great Valentine's present too!

Blessed! Life with horses has always had dogs in it, however when daisy moved fields I stopped taking the dogs to the yard as a standard and now I have regularly make time to check in with Daisy and the dogs that they are comfortable around each other.
Hettie is 2 and never been loose in the field with the horse however Daisy is fine with Dogs loose in the field. I do trust Hettie been the amazing to train, and she's so good at recall, like her great grannie Clovie I think we could ride out together one day. 🤞✨
So the training begins.
Do have your dog at the yard or ride out together?

EPIC FAIL MOMENT 1st for 2024! When life gives you lemons and all that! Reading the room and making a change.
Someone has their horse watch out!🤣 oh Daisy, this was not the plan, 15 minutes after normal time and she took herself off to her spring paddock!
In she came happy as larry even falling asleep outside her stable.🫣 little monkey, evening spend repairing fencing for me!
Taking the hint, it's time to switch the fields around before the rain arrives and all that mud comes back!
So have been a bit quiet only so many hours and all that, decided it's time to get ready for spring now.
Have you made any changes to your routine now we are in January 2024?

Let's cut the 💩life in winter with horses is pretty full on, cramming absolutely everything you need to do in 8 hours of day light.😱
I honestly do not function well without a planner, and my planner @thehorseorganiser is designed to look after you, your self care and meals.
Your horse, exercise, diet, weight and rugs.
This week it has been a godsend, wet hay, dry hay, 100g to 350g, no riding, in hand walks, occasional rides.
Whatever you use just remember it’s a season and this soon shall pass! I can’t bear the mud, others hate the cold, focus on the light and those days getting longer.
If you need to grab a planner, undated £24.95 or dated £27.50 to your door! It would be a pleasure to pop one in the post and support you this next year.
Keep going you got this!💪❤️

The best 15 minutes this week....sometimes you have to press pause, go for a ride & decompress!

Self care in winter is just as important as looking after the horse, check in with yourself and see what you need!
Today's medicine do both of us!

When things don't always go to plan it's good to have a plan b!
Wasn't expecting it to get so hard so I have opted to walk out In hand instead, after all our focus this winter is movement.
Hard ground will only add to joint concussion in my arthritic horse so I see this as horse yoga, lots of stretches therapy rug @masta_horse and walks. All tracked in my copy if @thehorseorganiser, which for this week looks quite messy🫣🤣
Have your plans gone to plan or have you had to change your tack and focus on something else?
Stay warm and sound ✨🐴❤️

The light is changing and with this so are our behaviours! Lots of interesting stuff about Blue Monday, personally it's not raining and I am not blue about a thing with this gorgeous light to lift our spirits.🎉
A walking in hand kind of day for us today.✨🐴 So the photographer in me came out to play and I thought I'd share the west coast light with you all just in case you are blue!
Enjoy! Keep going you got this!💪❤️

Who doesn’t just love this weather, please can we have cold and dry from now til spring?🙏🙏
Today I sat in my garden in the sun, filled in my copy of @thehorseorganiser and had a coffee! 🥳
This time of year planning is key, lots of movement, ridden, ground or long reining it's all good for her. So we ride when it is dry and do groundwork on days when the weather is not with us.
It's getting lighter and I am noticing she's not that keen to come in, these are all welcome changes to the season. Are you noticing any changes too?

When was the last time you had a good laugh with your horse?
.

I get a bit too focused on her arthritis and forget to make more of our time together!
This was ALOT of fun something we have lacked due to the miserable mud and rain.
Welcome break🙌 I love the excitement she has when she realised we were running back too!
One lucky horse owner right here! So much love for my amazing arthritic mare it's always a balancing act, giving her a safe space to let the lid be lifted of rather than carting it round a muddy field injuring herself.
I think we succeeded today!🙌✨🐴❤️

Whatever you do in this weather you can't win or can you?
Consistency is key and with a few tweaks here and there life goes on, so don't sweat the small stuff.
For us right now I am concentrating on turnout and keeping my arthritic cob comfortable. Whilst the dry weather is a blessing she is still in a really wet field so comes in most nights really muddy.
To stop the water freezing on the ground I am tub washing her feet, this old buckets been with me for year's....weighs a tonne so perfect to wash her feet in.
She's then transferred into her protecmasta infrared rug and the off to bed.
Mornings her feathers are brushed off where dry where it looks like the invisible horse 🤣 and we go for a walk. More about those tomorrow.
Things are just taking longer but it's quite nice having the cold and crisp to finally get some jobs done. Sunsets and sunrises have been amazing.
How’s everyone else managing, have you had to alter your winter routine at all?
Obviously its all getting logged down in my copy of @thehorseorganiser so I can ditch anything not working and keep doing the stuff that does.🙌💪❤️mxxxx

Here’s an update from Daisy and me @thehorseorganiser HQ!
We are in hibernating mode here, batch cooking and hunkering down. So it's been cold and dry which is lovely and sooooo welcome after all that rain. Our ground is just a bit too frozen to get out, so taking some downtime to mooch!
How are things where you are? Are you able to ride?

Ahh the joys of owning a spirited horse with a penchant for mud....😝 living her best life✨🐴
When you are hoping to clip🫣
When life doesn't go to plan, build a bridge get over it and reschedule your planner!
Anyone else got a mud monster?

Did someone say swan practice? It's important to keep her and them used to each other.....right?
Hell yes - that's our excuse and we are sticking to it! 😝
Just like every equestrian in the UK right now, any opportunity to head out under these beautiful blue skies and forget about these past few weeks.
Straight back to work afterwards as more copies of @thehorseorganiser headed out today!🙌🎉❤️
After a busy week relocating the business, it's great to be wrapping these back at HQ. Happy days ahead.
Happy Saturday you lovely lot! Did anyone else manage to get out on the horse today, hope so?

☔☔That's it I have had it with this winter!☔☔
This was my mood yesterday, constantly covered in mud, sliding everywhere, lugging heavy hay out to the field, and horse breaking out!
Then there was this, orange ball in the sky, today is like a whole new world...I think they call it hope and sunshine!🥳
Getting through winter with a horse that's arthritic can be tough and also such a worry! Everything causes stress to their joints, the mud, the lack of turnout the weather.
It is a juggling act trying to get it all right. There are no easy solutions and when the weather is as intense as it's been everything is compounded.
Today was a gift, I was really starting to struggle, and keeping others going whilst you are not ok is not easy.
This was what we both needed.....did I have time to do it, no!
Did I need to do it.... hell yes!
For both of us, we needed out of Groundhog Day and this was that day!✨🙌🎉
I hope you all had the sunshine and it helped as much as it helped us.
Sending hugs to you all and hoping you are all coping and okay. Welcome to DM if you are feeling it, doors always open.
Keep going you lovely lot, we got this!
😘mxxx
Ps if you want like me and many others to remember all of these treasured ramblings buy a copy of @thehorseorganiser as a memento and keepsake for giggles! I bet you will look back and wonder how you ever coped....but you did!🙏❤️ links in the bio

I have come to the conclusion about this life......
.............It’s important to enjoy the ride that’s it! The good thing about an equestrian’s life IS it’s consistent, maybe a new year but life with horses goes on!
Don’t put too much pressure on yourselves this year you lovely lot......i am certainly realigning things for a more seasonal approach to my year, rebalanced, restful, abundant and fun 2024 with a concentration on consistency rather than purely achievement driven.
Have you thought about what you want for this year, love to know what you have planned?
Whatever happens keep going you got this and it will all workout in the end.✨💪❤️

Come free school with us, our no. 1 go to when we need to lift the lid and let crazy Daisy out🤣 here's how we manage her arthritis in winter!
It's been a while and I was really chuffed with her initial trot up, so when she let rip I knew she needed it.
Having a horse like her does take careful management and using my equestrian planner framework in @thehorseorganiser is essential to our year! We use the dated one, however the undated gives you it all too, just dip in and out, your choice so you can too start keeping a journal of your year together.
We do three days one day off ideally two ridden and one ground like this.
How are you managing this winter with your horse?

Today is a wet one so someone has the day off!

#horselove #horsetherapyisthebesttherapy #happyequestrian #horselife #horsedayoff
Confidence building starts the minute you buy the horse in my book....if you take the time to always show them what they need to know then your future will be bright!
Most issues come from confusion, rider aids, horse is not being reassured by the rider, and so lack of confidence in each other.
If you don't know where to start grab one of my equesteian planners dated or undated @thehorseorganiser helps you get eye balls on behaviour and habits yours and theirs.
Trust builds trust and if you find the sweet spot, like Daisy's reward of extra strong mints, I use it as a motivator. Once we have passed something he doesn't like we stop and she has her mint, this reinforces to my horse that she did a good thing and so gets a reward! It’s not always a mint sometimes its a pat, but she always gets one for putting her bridle on then another at the end bringing me home safe and taking the bridle off again.
Do you use anything to reward your horse?

Some weeks just suck, don't they! How are you finding this winter?
Soggy fields, endless breaking out, fixing fencing in the dark and as a result, someone has piled on the pounds!
I have a dead spare battery, which has led to the escaping, glass is always greener!
After a mediocre groundwork session she decided when I turned her out to stand in my space, so I backed her up....undid her halter and sent her off minus her TREAT....fast forward FOUR LAPS OF A VERY WET FIELD PULLED UP LITERALLY!🫣
It's funny this was so normal for her and it's been a long time since it's happened you forget how dramatic she can be, well today she was back!
Let’s hope tomorrow she doesn't feel too stiff, such a worry!
Right I am off for a glass of wine and 20 minutes to write all this down in my equestrian planner @thehorseorganiser!
I am going to keep going because I have got this💪❤️mxxx

Why I do what I do with my arthritic horse, I see it as a warm-up to whatever will happen when she’s turned out and this can be quite varied! As my stories have shown you🤣🫣
Daily moments in winter are all about movement when you own a horse with arthritis! She is an active horse who likes to express herself, making sure she has this each morning whether it's in hand, ridden or long reining it all adds up.
We have Molly and she's barefoot, all these things make her life happy and comfortable and that is my only priority!
I use my equestrian planner framework I created called @thehorseorganiser dated or undated to plan and manage her months and quarters. This is vital for winter.
She's had arthritis since she was 9 and she's now 15 so I feel we are doing well. If you are at the beginning of this journey, keep going you got this 💪❤️ and you can always message me, I have lots of experience with it, things that worked and didn't!
For arthritis or anything else that requires management then check out our tags lots of people use them to manage their horse's conditions like us, @diaryofmydragon our BA who's mare has
Navicular and @thecobchronicles whose horse Harry has pssm.
Hope this helps

Winter with horses is not a lot of fun when you have to squeeze it all into 8 hours of daylight! 🙄
Spend a very wet sunday dodging showers and fitting in a weeks worth of poo picking, plus mending fencing because someone doesn't fancy what I had given her not her hay!🙄 can't really blame her!
Happy Sunday here in Somerset, now time to plan for next week with the weather app 🤣! How was your weekend?

Never underestimate the power of a good body worker for both you and your horse! How often do you have the physio out?
My horse absolutely adores her physio, Molly’s worth her weight in gold, she understands my mare 100%, she supports us both and actually I genuinely don't think Daisy would still be here without her!
There was a moment today when she was releasing which I wish I had a photo of, Daisy face was just a picture....pure bliss, she was in that moment totally letting go of all her tension which she carries in her neck.
At 6 months Daisy can take quite a long time to release, at three months it was much quicker. So for now we are back to quartet. Otherwise she's very happy with her.
I had sent videos the night before so we did a ridden assessment this time as I had just got back from my hack, just straight and only in walk and trot! Our playful youngster is not the most helpful when you need to do a quick assessment and Daisy wants to join in.
I have managed to pick up an eye infection from one of the dogs which is lovely, 🙄so hoping it clears up soon, hence the very sore eyes this past week.
So the physio section is all filled in and as we are now at the end of the year I went into the insurance section for this final round up to the year and exercises to do.
So if you like my horse use a physio, there is a section for this and a Saddler section, today we used both as her saddle needs a riser on the lhs.

Tough day! It's not one I will remember fondly, most of the raids are flooded and this is my first year without a 4x4, still Myrtle the estate managed just fine, Daisy is a superstar, well apart from nose dribble🤣 the weather is slightly stressful right now!
Since it's a new month, new week and final quarter of 2023!

Fires on, packing up more copies of my equwstrian planner @thehorseorganiser which will support you throughout your crazy equestrian journey and give you a fabulous keepsake to tell the grand kids all about!❤️
On a serious note, I know this is a tough winter for a lot of us, so from me to you keep going you got this!💪❤️
How are things in your neck of the woods?
