Very excited to get back together with another group of like minded horse gals this weekend in Sarasota! 🐴 🏝️

This photo was from our Palmetto class back in March. Students working together on a first aid scenario! ⛑️

One of my favorite parts about these classes is the teamwork, the connecting, the networking. It’s always a good time chatting with the students! ❤️

This!

Knowing your horse’s normal vital signs can help you recognize potential problems earlier,whether you’re at home, traveling, trail riding, or at a horse show.

To help horse owners stay prepared, we’ve created printable equine vital sign quick reference sheets in both English and Spanish. Full-page and half-page versions are available to print and keep in a trailer, tack box, barn, or first aid kit for easy reference.

The sheets include:
• normal temperature, pulse, and respiration ranges
• mucous membrane and hydration reminders
• space for your veterinarian and farrier contact information

Download the free reference sheets here:

Continued education is something we believe heavily in. This weekend we took to Florida Farrier Service, Inc 3 day barefoot trimming clinic. What a pleasure it was to be a part of this group!
This facility is phenomenal- clean, organized & stocked with goodies. This course was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this class, other classes & this farrier service to anyone! Check out their page as they have plenty of learning opportunities coming up!!

🚨🚨🚨

Now that Polk County FL has repealed the burn ban, here are some fire facts that are quite interesting! 🔥

As of mid-February 2026, Polk County Fire Rescue responded to more than 30 brush fires in a single weekend

The River Ranch fire in Lake Wales burned over 650 acres.

Statewide Impact: By Feb. 16, 2026, over 130 wildfires had burned more than 18,000 acres across Florida.

A brush fire can spread incredibly fast, with rates often reaching 14 miles per hour (mph) under windy, dry conditions, essentially moving as fast as a running human😟

You have 30 SECONDS to evacuate horses from a burning barn before it affects their lungs.

Florida isn’t the only state that deals with this. Are you prepared?🔥🔥🔥

🔥Do have evacuation orders? Do you have fire extinguishers and does all of your staff and/or boarders know where they are? Do you know what type of fire extinguishers you have? Do you know first aid protocol for a first, second or third degree burn?

⚡️These are all questions that shouldn’t be asked at the time of the emergency.

Most importantly 🚨Have you conducted a fire drill? Do you have an escape plan with multiple exits?

These are all things you should be thinking about, planning & preparing!!
