Are You a first time horse owner or thinking of being one?

Some times we get into projects with out knowing what they entail! Like for instance, my quilting project, I started three years ago thinking it would be a breeze! Well guess what, It took me three years to get the blocks together and now as I look at all the hand quilting I had planned I think it will take the rest of my life to finish it! The project was bigger then I thought!
What does that have to do with owning a horse? Well sometimes we get into situations before we know what the project requires. Like for instance, Horses need worming every several months , trimming every six weeks, they need shots, grooming , proper food ,do you know what kind of hay and supplements ? Does your saddle fit your horse ? Do you know how to get a good fit ?Did you know they need sand removel treatment's , Do you know how to treat wounds, skin irritations ,clean hoofs , sheaths, & eyes? Before stepping off into it ,one must be informed as to what the project requires to be able have a successful experience! Happy trails!

Now for the spring riding reminder: as we all turn our thoughts to the trail and the riding season , I remind myself I must condition my horse after the winters inactivity before I hit the trail. start in the round pen or if you don't have one use a launge line or start taking walks with your horse it will condition both of you ! Clean up your tack ,Wash or vacuum the saddle blanket's, oil the ole saddle , If your like me I oil or saddle soap my saddles several times during the winters off time. Then that's already done for my spring cleaning time .. Happy Trails see ya there!
