Transformation Tuesday: Meet Poppy 🐴✨
​When Poppy, a 13-year-old OTTB, first arrived for boarding and training, we went right back to the fundamentals.
​Previously, she couldn't tolerate a bit in her mouth without flipping her head in frustration and discomfort. Understanding that every moment is a training opportunity, we focused heavily on intentional groundwork and lunging. We wanted to give her a safe space to understand what was being asked of her, build her core strength, and find mental relaxation.
​Look at her now! Thanks to her incredible progress on the lunge, she is ready for her next major milestone. She’ll be carrying those brand-new skills of softening, suppleness, and trust right into the saddle.
​I absolutely love seeing the transformation these amazing horses make when they are given patience, time, and true understanding. This is exactly why I specialize in feeding, rehabilitation, and training Thoroughbreds. They have so much to give when you listen to them. ❤️

Hand-grazing a horse is a great way to provide fresh forage and mental stimulation, but it requires active supervision. Even the most docile horse can become spooked or overly focused on grass, leading to potential accidents.
​Here are the essential safety protocols for hand-grazing:
Avoid "Fresh" Grass in Spring: If the horse hasn't been on pasture, limit grazing to 5–10 minutes initially to prevent laminitis or colic caused by high sugar content (fructans).
​Stay Clear of Fencing: Don’t graze too close to wire or electric fences. If the horse spooks or decides to paw at the ground, they could easily get a leg caught.
Lead rope for extra safety I feed my lead rope under jaw this helps keep it up so they don't stop on it,while still giving you control if they spook.

​Behavioral Safety
​No Grazing While Walking: Establish a boundary that the horse only eats when you have come to a full stop and given a "release" cue. This prevents them from dragging you while you're leading them.

Adding a hindquarters rope (or "butt rope") to your lungeing routine is a game-changer for building a stronger "engine."
​Why we love it:
​Active Hind Legs: Encourages the horse to step deep under their body.
​Lifts the Back: Creates a "bottom-up" stretch to strengthen the topline.
​SI Support: Helps strengthen the sacroiliac (SI) area and stabilizing muscles.
​Body Awareness: Improves proprioception and overall balance on a circle.
​Instant Reward: Provides a natural release the moment the horse engages.
​It’s all about teaching them to move with purpose and connection!

We spent the day at King Animal Hospital for Sherlock's follow-up stifle assessment, and the news is official: Dr. Orlaith Cleary has given us the green light to slowly begin his training! He has healed well, and we are so incredibly grateful for the expert care and professional guidance that got him this far.
​Sherlock is such a special horse to all of us, but especially to his kid, Haylee. She was thrilled to join the road trip today and be part of the big update and seeing the hosital. Seeing them together reminds us exactly why the long road to recovery is always worth it. ❤️🐴
​So thankful and looking forward to the next chapters 🙌
