Yesterday, I was doing some work around the barn, and decided to go grab a rake. It was a large, metal rake, and as luck would have it, was facing away from me. So, being a smart person, I said, I’ll just really slowly step on the teeth of this rake and have it come upright towards me. I thought I could manage it. I thought I was smarter than the cartoon character that steps on a rake. I was not, and today I’m sporting a very large egg on my forehead, and struggling to wear my helmet. #glamorouslife #equestrianstyle

News & Notes:
What to do when you’ve got a really slow moving young horse? I’ve got one right now (pictured above), and he’s lovely and safe and dead quiet to ride. Downside is, he can barely trot around the ring for a few times in a row, he’s so tired by moving his giant body around. He needs some long slow miles to build strength to move a little faster, but it will come! Horse & Hound has some suggestions for teaching a young horse to go forward properly. [H&H]
It’s no secret that horses shaped our world into what it is today, even if they aren’t part of everyday life for everyone anymore. From being major assets in war times, to lending a hand to the economic boom in cities, and still supporting rural towns around the world, horses have worked alongside humans for as long as we can remember. If you’re into history, check out this history of the horse. [When Horses Ruled]
