24.01.2022 Happy birthday to our equine family and friends

23.01.2022 The Horse Person Horse owners acquaintances fall into 2 categories....Horse person and Non horse person. The Horse person knows the difference between a bridle ...and a halter, what a hoof pick is and which end the combo piece of the rug goes... They are the ones you call when your horse goes through a fence, gets injured and arrive bearing all essentials including pain relief... The horse person is the one who takes turns walking a colicking horse, whilst waiting for a vet, and is your voice of reason when you cant be.... When given baling twine, the Horse person morphs into a modern day MacGyver, there is nothing they cant fix.... They examine poop with you, hold torches for you and also have a wardrobe with one section dedicated to "Paddock Fashion".... During the summer months a horse persons choice of makeup is dirt and sweat with numerous "beauty" spots...also known as flies....these are only temporary.... The horse person has a tack shed that to an outsider looks like a tangled mess of ropes and leather but not to them....they are able to put their hand on exactly what they need in a heartbeat... When asked "can you just check the horse on the way past" the horse person knows this means.... Check the water.. Check the fenceline... Check the gates shut and check for injuries... The horse person lives by the "Survival guide of the bush"....The horse will always kick...the bull will always charge and the gun is always loaded....remember those rules and life will be a little easier. When greeted by flattened ears from a mare in season, the horse person will casually walk right up to them and say "Mornin Darlin is that the best youve got.." The horse person is often covered in scrapes and bruises with blisters on their hands....they will be sore where you didnt think it would be possible to be sore and quite often have a broken bone or two.....mention a Doctor and the response will be "Nah she'll be right".... They are the ones who take note of wind changes thru bushfires and message you telling you that the float is hooked up and they are on their way to get your horses out.... The horse person knows what Psyllium is used for and the importance of salt..... They can rattle off every worming paste they have ever used and the date of the next treatment but ask them when they had their last personal health check and youll be met with a blank stare.... And whilst they are there for all of the good days, they are also there for the hardest...... The horse person will offer to make the call when you cant and offer to hold the lead rope as you say goodbye... They will know whether to stand by your side or give you the space that you desire...either way itll be done as their own silent tears fall down their face.... Whilst the horses are our herd....the horse people are our tribe.. Horse ownership reality... Would I have it any other way? Not in a thousand lifetimes........By Jo Harmer

12.01.2022 I DID NOT KNOW... I did not know a horse could bring people into your life that end up meaning the most to you. I did not know a horse could make the hardest ...days of your life bearable. I did not know a horse could teach you to put others first. I did not know a horse could remind you time and time again that your gut is always right. I did not know a horse could break your heart. I did not know a horse could pick you up when you have fallen apart. I did not know a horse could teach you to dream again, after you thought it was not possible. I did not know a horse could make you believe in yourself. I did not know a horse could teach responsibility, work ethic, and dedication. I did not know a horse could make you believe in something when no one else does. I did not know a horse could make you learn to forgive and forget. I did not know a horse could humble you faster than you can say humble. I did not know a horse could make you a winner. I did not know a horse could also teach you how to lose gracefully. I did not know a horse could instill patience in you. I did not know a horse could make you listen better. I did not know a horse could give you their heart. I did not know a horse could change your life. I did not know a horse could do all these things... but now I know. Written by Alissa Kelly
