Meadow View Ranch

I think Abby may have hit peak Labrador Retriever today, and I couldn’t possibly love it any more. Between long, hot summer days and thrilling games of fetch, the kiddie pool is a necessity!

Mooch will forever be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for me. 🌈🐾

May your coffee be hot, your troubles be few, and your horses be broke today!

What are you up to this gorgeous Tuesday?

True partnership comes from understanding, not just expectation.

What other horse health/fitness hacks do you recommend?

I absolutely love riding in a quality, well-groomed sand arena, but some of the best tools for maintaining our horses’ health and fitness exist out in nature. Hill work is a crucial part of many rehab programs, so why shouldn’t it be a part of our normal routines with our horses?

I’ll add the caveat that the faster your horse is going, the less hill work should be done. Walking and some trotting is best, but too much loping on hills can do more damage than good. Like many things in life, moderation is key.
