S2M Rides

🩷 So we’ve been keeping a little (not so little though) secret recently🫣. While I can’t exactly hide him from those that have been at the barn I haven’t said too much just because I wanted to let him get settled in and make sure he was a good fit. So far he has checked all my boxes. 🤭

So while I don’t have a name picked out for him, here is our new member of our crew! While I’m not sure what his future will look like I’m very proud to say that I’ve grown to like this guy a lot.🥰

You’ll be seeing a lot more of him soon! As of right now drop some suggestions, as I have no clue what to name him. My top choice right now is Moose 🤣 🫎

In case you needed a reminder…horses are expensive. Don’t own one 😭🤣

💔 My heart is absolutely breaking for all the competitors going through this. This is so disgusting to see how jealousy and poor sportsmanship went this far. To not only attack a helpless animal that we all love, but to attempt to take someone lifeline and family member from them.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved in this. This is something no one should ever have to experience let alone be considered about. Prayers and safety to everyone there right now as well. 💙 🙏

With all this rain that we have gotten, I thought I’d take a moment to explain why it’s very important to try to take care of your horses feet right now.

Thrush is one of the biggest issues you’re going to try to fight against. “Thrush” is a very common hoof issue in horses, especially during long periods of rain and muddy conditions. Thrush is a bacterial (sometimes fungal) infection that develops in the frog of the hoof — usually in the deep grooves beside or behind the frog where moisture, mud, manure, and bacteria get trapped. It often has a strong foul smell and can look black, soft, or mushy.

If left untreated, thrush can become painful and start eating away at healthy hoof tissue. Horses may become sore, tender when picking feet, or even lame in severe cases. Deep infections can make it harder for the hoof to stay healthy and balanced over time.

This is why picking out your horse’s feet is SO important during rainy weather. Constant mud and moisture soften the hoof and create the perfect environment for bacteria to grow. Cleaning feet daily helps remove packed mud, manure, and rocks while also giving you a chance to catch problems early before they become serious.

A few simple things can make a huge difference:
🩷 Pick feet daily (sometimes twice a day in wet weather)
🩷 Keep stalls and pens as dry as possible
🩷 Give horses access to dry ground when you can
🩷 Watch for bad smells, black discharge, or sensitivity
🩷 Use hoof treatments if you notice early signs of thrush

Healthy feet are the foundation of a healthy horse — especially during constant rainy weather! 🐴💙

The rain doesn’t stop the play! We made some small adjustments for our indoor arena so yall can come play too even if it’s a little too muddy to ride outside.

If you already have a horse and are feeling eager to ride them, feel free to message us about using our indoor!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Whether it’s the 2 legged or the 4, we love all of you!! 🩷🩷

With the last three weeks filled with San Angelo rodeo and the wacky weather, it’s been a little hectic around here. Let’s work on getting back on schedule! (once our arena dries lol)

So so beyond proud of these girls!! They did so good at the show today. This was MaryAnnes first show ever, and she killed it!! They had a BLAST🩷🩷

If you don’t know about this horse, I highlyyyy suggest learning about him. He truly was a legend!!

I have followed Endo the Blind for quite a while now. This horse is absolutely incredible if you don't know who he is. The bond between him and his owner is unexplainable and I absolutely LOVE and have loved watching this team. ♥️
However, the magnificent blind warrior is in a battle right now. Endo is dealing with edema, and he needs every ounce of strength, healing, and prayer we can send his way. Pray for the swelling to go down.
Pray for his levels to rise. Pray for his body to respond. Pray for wisdom over his vets.
This horse may not have sight… but he has more heart than most.
Let’s surround Endo with faith, power, good thoughts, good vibes, and relentless belief in healing.

Lord,
You created Endo perfectly, strong, brave, and full of light. Right now as he battles edema and low protein levels, we ask for healing over his body. Reduce the swelling. Restore his strength. Rebuild what is depleted.
Give wisdom to his vets and peace to the hearts that love him.
Cover this magnificent boy in protection and let his body respond with steady, undeniable healing.

Amen. 🤍

We love Valentine’s Day around here 🩷
