UPCOMING WORKSHOP: Saturday 19th February 2022 The Happy Horse 1 Day Workshop is a unique event as it is a non-riding workshop. This gives the riders the opportunity to watch, learn and take their time as they take things in.  The fact is, there IS a lot we need to think about: The biomechanics...

One day his coat won’t shine quite as bright,
His eyes won’t sparkle quite how they used to.
His legs will become tired and he’ll take a little longer to get up.
He won’t come to the door when you bring his saddle out anymore and he’ll find those jumps just a little harder work than he did before.

But he’ll never stop loving you.

He’ll never stop waiting, with pricked ears, to hear you arrive in the morning.
He’ll never stop grabbing your zip if you stand too close.
He’ll never stop throwing his bucket over the door when he finishes his dinner.

One day he'll grow old.
One day his body will slow down and he will let you know it’s time to hang up the bridle.
And when that day comes, give him a hug, hold him tight and thank him for everything.

Give him days in grass filled fields under summer sun.
Give him love, attention and never let him believe he is anything less than perfect.
Don’t cast him out into a far away field to be glanced at for the rest of his time.
Don’t hand him to the groom and downgrade him to the stable at the end of the yard.
Don't try and pass him off to someone else as a companion and let him go somewhere strange and new at a time in his life when all he needs is you.
Love him, exactly as you did when he was in his prime.

He'll never stop loving you, so never stop loving him.

🧚The Tale of the Fairy Knots 🧚

The knots that appear in a horse's mane are known as Fairy Knots. During the night, it is said that a group of fairies wander out in search of horses. Once their ideal horse is found, they actually twist their manes to form little stirrups and reins on the horse. They then ride the horses all through the night and take them on magical adventures. The horses are always returned by morning, but the knots are left for when the fairies come again.
