This short post is so important!
One of the first things I do when I get a new student is to evaluate their tack and equipment. There is so much garbage tack being manufactured today, many by companies that don't know the a** end of a horse from the head! I see it mostly in the speed events where people purchase "designer" tack and equipment simply because it looks cool or pretty, but I have seen headstalls with no browband or earpiece falling down the horse's neck, buckles in the eyeball, upside down bits, backwards bits, bits hanging too low in the mouth and banging the teeth, ears and brow areas being squeezed because of too tight a fit, etc etc. PLEASE don't purchase tack for the looks. PLEASE talk to a professional who is well-versed in tack and equipment fit. Set you and your horse up for SUCCESS by understanding the tools that you're going to use. Don't use something just because someone told you it's the best or just because it's pretty. Be sure it's the best set up for YOUR HORSE.
Also...just because something is expensive, does not mean it's good quality or fit!

A little delayed in posting this, but BIG shout out to Dr Corey Harms of Sierra Oaks Veterinary - Equine Services for saving my old gelding…. Many of you know and love “Spiderman.”
Dr. Harms pulled this rather large enterolith out of his re**um. He told me that usually they don’t pass them when they’re this size. I don’t know how Spiderman did it, but it was an all day affair… walking and walking and trotting and pain meds and TWO tubings with mineral oil (thanks to Dr. Ettlin for the first round!)
I am so glad to still have this old guy around for a few more years hopefully. He’s 26 this year and still going strong teaching kids to ride, being my backup horse at brandings, and we try to keep him slow at the gymkhanas (slow is not in his vocabulary).

Working with horses can teach you so many life skills.

Mind set is everything when it comes to competing. This was a hard lesson for me to learn…I’m ultra competitive and i don’t like to “lose” or “mess up.”
I had to do just that to learn to barrel race. I’ve made plenty of mistakes…. Every one has led me to where i am today. I’m a better rider for each and every “mistake” and “failure.”

Join me on Wednesday nights at 6:30. Would love to share the tips that have made me a better horsewoman. PM or text me for location!

It’s a simple fact—you don’t get to the winner’s circle by winning. #betweenthereins #barrelracing
