Let whatever you’re doing in this industry reflect faithful stewardship so well a child never questions their well-being.

“Now, a person who is put in charge as a manager must be faithful.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬

“God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬

“The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭24‬:‭1‬

“To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭29‬

“Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭

We’ve added 2 Klene Pipe Structures H8 hay feeders to omit netting our round bales & get them off the ground.

Winter is going to be a breeze this year, finally! 🙌🏼

Years of wrestling nets, hay waste, & feeding hay without a tractor has humbled us.

We are so appreciative of our blessings & we show it through our stewardship practices.

———
We don’t deserve anything.

“In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

———
Horses are divine. We are charged to steward them in a way that honors God.

“Have you given the horse its strength or clothed its neck with a flowing mane? Did you give it the ability to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is terrifying! It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength when it charges out to battle. It laughs at fear and is unafraid. It does not run from the sword. The arrows rattle against it, and the spear and javelin flash. It paws the ground fiercely and rushes forward into battle when the ram’s horn blows. It snorts at the sound of the horn. It senses the battle in the distance. It quivers at the captain’s commands and the noise of battle.”
‭‭Job‬ ‭39‬:‭19‬-‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

———
It took us years to get here.

Years of tribulation.
Realizing the necessity of consecration.
And continued sanctification.

It never gets old seeing our herd use this year’s addition.

Over deployment, we planned to fence in this lean-to that was used for my family’s dog kennels years ago.

With some help, I got it cleared out last year & we finally got the job done this summer with some more help.

We are excited to see this be of good use in all seasons—hot, cold, wet, & dry.

Even when times are hard & desires seem out of reach, God provides in His divine timing. We are beyond blessed. 🤍

Can you guess what breed(s) are the smart ones?

The smart ones came over to be hosed down, stand in the shade, & indulge in the fan the whole time I chose to stand with them. Not even half the herd!

The other goobers stood in the sun the entire time. One went to a hay station to eat in peace.

All were sweating, a couple slightly flaring nostrils.

Questions I have for you:

1. How do you keep your horses cool in 150+ heat index days?

2. Are yours goobers like ours?
***Bonus if you can explain why they choose the BLARING SUN over shade with a sprinkler, water buffet, & fan.

3. Can you guess the breeds of each of the 4 horses that came to indulge like smart ponies do? They’re tricky!
*Hint: 2/3 breeds are hot blooded

4. How do you check to see if a horse is beginning to overheat or overheated?

𝙇𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨.
Especially in the horse world.

We’re often taught that responsibility means defending our choices.
That confidence means never questioning ourselves.
That experience means pushing through.

But defensiveness doesn’t tell us what the horse is feeling.
This article is an invitation to notice
when explanation replaces curiosity
and control replaces connection.

Because stewardship doesn’t ask,
“Am I right?”
It asks,
“What is my horse telling me?”
