🦜🍹Patrón and I had the best time with our Jimmy Buffett theme post and freestyle! Patrón loved everyone of his margaritas!! We are sad to hear of the passing of Jimmy Buffet. His music made for some great times with a horse I had so much fun with!!

I love our “village” at Horse Haven of Tennessee and how we all work together for every horse that comes into the barn!

Touch with intention

Feel your hand on the horse, and feel yourself
Don’t fuss, don’t tickle, don’t rearrange, don’t pick, don’t scratch, don’t correct, just feel -

Feel the inside of you carried to the inside of the horse

Be here- with this horse, right now
clear energy, not muddied by what you want, what the horse is doing, thoughts of something somewhere else

Your feel carried directly to the horse

Touch with intention is the highest discipline there is

Dive into it, and a deeper world of the horse opens up to you

😜The tongue of a horse weighs over 1kg (approx. 2.5lbs) and is 40cm (16in) long)!

🤪The back of the tongue is attached at the throat to the hyoid bones, that also connect to the jaw.
😛It links to a chain of muscles via the fascia, extending to the sternum, shoulders and forelegs.
😝Amazingly these muscles then link to the pectoral and abdominal muscles and on to the pelvis and hind limbs.

😜🏇🏻This is why the riders hands, body balance & stability,😛Along with the action of a bit in a horse’s mouth😝can have such an impact upon the rest of his body when working/schooling. 🏇🏻

I LOVE my job!! This girl is seriously the sweetest!! Don’t overlook the potential of a senior horse! They have a lot to offer it just may look a little different than a younger horse! ❤️

They look forward to their mini bodywork sessions! It’s amazing to watch them react and the moment they release!

Just tried the Apple juice in warm water and it was a hit! Shine finished off his bucket fast and tried to get to Princess’s. Princess I’m pretty sure would have swam in it if she could! Two great options to get your horse drinking!!

🪣🪣💦💦❄️❄️ Do y’all recognize this? It’s the same concoction I used in Patrón’s big margarita glass he drank from. It’s warm water and a handful or two of the Omelene feed. It’s a great way to get a horse that’s not drinking to drink! My personal horses LOVE this stuff! In preparation for the crazy cold temps we are about to get, we have been giving our horses a bucket of this twice a day for the last few days to make sure they are hydrated. We also added electrolytes to their feed. Tonight we filled their stalls with an abundance of hay and stopped grain for the next few days. You can also add apple juice (1/4 to 1/2 cup) to your horses water bucket if they don’t like the other.

🎥🎥🎥 During Rally PopFizz was also at the barn shooting video for Horse Haven of Tennessee. They were able to follow Patrón’s journey and incorporate it into their video showing the mission of HHT! If you’re looking for a place to volunteer we would love to have you join our amazing family of volunteers!
