Love this raincoat company and the people who own it! If you don’t know them- it’s a great way to support small business with high quality products 💕
Reaching out to all my new peeps, since my Facebook account was stolen a while back I am desperately trying to rebuild it. Could you all please share this page to your own page? I know horse folks are so great at helping lift up and grow small businesses. It takes a village!!

You know that feeling when you hear something at a clinic or lesson and it sinks in deep and gets you thinking for days or longer?
This recently happened for me when Harry Whitney shared about the importance of the Sweet Spot- providing a consistent place of comfort for our horses and then he went on to demonstrate it in all that he did for the 6 days of the clinic. A true master!
I recently wrote a reflection on this- I hope you enjoy it.
Reflections on the Sweet Spot
10 days spent with master horseman Harry Whitney got me thinking about many things. One of them has been the Sweet Spot- what it is and how to offer it so horses can find it.
