Just imagine how wonderful it would be if you had the knowledge and physical ability to trim your own barefoot horse.

You think to yourself, “I’m athletic, smart, great at research, and my horse loves me, so why not?”

Now – what on earth would cause the thought of trimming your own horse to enter your mind in the first place?

I can think of several reasons.  Does this scenario sound familiar?

Why the Barefoot Horse Never Lies

Why the Barefoot Horse Never Lies

Picture this, your farrier or natural hoof trimmer stops by to trim your horse. As he drives up to your barn, you glance at the clock and realize you lost track of time. In a rush, you throw on your coat and run out the door to greet him.

As you approach the truck from the passenger side, he rolls down his window and you say, “I’ll be with you in a minute. I have to get Jewels out of the pasture.”

As you approach Jewels’ living area, you call out her name. She stops eating grass and looks toward you with ears forward, happy to see you.

She meets you half way, then offers to gently put her nose in the halter you’re holding. From there, you and Jewels head to the barn for her hoof care pedicure.

Are You Feeding Your Horse These 4 ‘Healthy’ – Yet Dangerous – Foods?

Have you ever watched the movie I Am Legend with Will Smith?  The story is about a “cure” for cancer that later resulted in radical long term effects that almost knocked out the human race as we know it today.

At first, the treatment completely cures a patient’s cancer.  That sounds great doesn’t it?  Not so great if horrible mutations developed after the fact.

I walked away from that movie with a sick feeling in my stomach, because it’s not that far fetched from what could become a reality.

Something I keep in mind is that although science is powerful and beneficial, Mother Nature will always reign – one way or another.  Man tends to easily forget that small detail.

Kermit“It isn’t easy being green.” – Kermit the Frog

What is normal anyway?  Have you ever asked yourself that question?

Of course it depends on the context, right?  We’ll stick with the subject of horses since that’s what we all care about; however, normal versus unconventional can apply to any subject.

If you’re reading this, you’re not normal.  I hate to tell you this, but you’re not.

And I’m not normal for writing about caring about being normal.

Is being normal really all that important?  For you, it may be your bread and butter.  It helps you feel safe and comfortable, except when it comes to your horse.

The Truth About Having Horses in Your Life

by

Stephanie Giving Ransom a Bath

Do you remember the first day a horse came into your life?  Your very own horse?  Maybe you can’t quite remember that first day because you were very young.

Do your best to think back as far as you can to a day you can remember when a horse first came into your life.  How did you feel?  Where you excited?  Scared?

It’s hard for me to remember the exact day a beautiful Shetland pony named Thunder entered my life.  What I do know is that I was about 2 years old and she loved to bite and run over me.  My mother told me that I use to run in to the house crying because of Thunder and then I’d go right back out for more.  How crazy is that?
