I think I’ve mentioned before that I have my Certification in Clinical Aromatherapy for humans and I also have several certifications from highly regarded Veterinarians in the use of essential oils with horses. In that light, I have been regularly using essential oils with my own horses for over 15 years and the results I […]
Several years ago, I obtained my Certification in Clinical Aromatherapy for people and I also obtained several certifications for using essential oils for animals as well. During this time, I also began researching supplements and other complimentary therapies and modalities, along with a friend of mine who is a Board Certified Integrative Physician. She introduced […]
We are heading into our third year with these stall mats and not one thing has changed. These stall mats remain durable, comfortable, versatile and functional. These mats were easy to install and provide maximum comfort for our horses (and us when we’re cleaning stalls). In addition to being affordable, Stall Savers are one single […]
We admit it, we couldn’t pick just one so we had to tell you about our two favorite fly masks! We love this fly mask from Shires for a variety of reasons: it offers more room in the eye area, it’s easy to get off and on, it’s difficult for your horse to get OFF […]

Regardless of the specific work/performance environment, their nutritional needs can change from day to day, depending on their activity, overall health and stress levels. […]
I am always keeping an eye out for people, organizations, products and services that I believe will inspire, motivate and benefit you, your family, your horses and your community. One of the things that is near & dear to my heart is the plight of horses who find themselves abused, neglected or just looking […]
I am currently in the market for a new horse and have embarked on my journey in search of the perfect equine partner. I’m looking for ‘horse nirvana’…the perfect partner to help me continue my horsemanship journey. It’s not an easy task, and it’s certainly one that requires more patience than I was born with. […]
Safety FIRST has always been the moto at our barn and in that light, it’s fair to say I’ve been purchasing helmets for my daughters and myself for years.
