The Overlooked Importance of Bits
I have discussed how to utilize a western saddle correctly and how it is one of the most misunderstood methods of horse communication. If the use of the saddle is one of the most misunderstood aspects of modern horse ownership, then the right choice and use of bits must be the most perplexing. In reality, I have discovered that far too many trainers lack the expertise necessary to impart to their pupils the value of bit use and understanding in this area of dealing with horses.

A Journey of Intention Discovered through Horses - Part 10
The cover image is not of Blu, but is my stallion, Marvelous Mister Mark, enjoying his paddock last weekend the morning after the ice storm. That was messy! Beautiful, but messy. Now it’s warm and getting sloppy. Still messy, but in a much more encouraging way.

A Journey of Intention Discovered through Horses - Part 9
I’m sitting here, inside, listening to the wind howl and rattle the house. Will winter ever go away this year? Every time I go out the door, I hear nickers and the horses start pacing. They know it’s grain time. At least I know I’m still loved (lol!) They all look healthy, so I am grateful for that.

Equine Misconceptions: Horse Feed
Horses sleep standing up. If a horse lays down, they're dying. Horses need grain to live. If a horse colics, walk them or their gut will twist. Old horses must be retired and can't be ridden. Horses need to be sedated when their teeth are floated. A harsher bit is a better bit. You should start riding a horse when they are 2 years old.

Using Horses to Define Community
Growing up in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, my childhood consisted of horse games with my friends such as tag, racing, jumping off the horse into the creek down the road, and pretending we were bandits on the run. Out of the horses that my family had, half of them were unwanted rescue horses that my mom found for me to work and the other half were ones I raised and trained born out of these rescues or other horses we owned. Due to my father being a crop dusting pilot, we grew up in rural areas where my dad had a good relationship with landowners who let us live on their cattle ranches with our horses. Therefore, we were able to have our horses on range land without actually owning it.
