Horse & Rider Resources

01

The Free Plan 

Tailored to horse and owner specifically. Covering key topics like a 30 Day Action Plan to build a solid foundation with your horse, Nutrition Plans  that fit the horse and owner best based on lifestyle, Ground Work exercises that all levels of horsemen and horses must be able to do with any type of experience, a Respect Test for horses and their owners to better understand each other, a Soundness Check for mind and body of the horse and person (most of the time it's the person who is the most problematic), and choosing the Right Gear for both horse and rider safety (as well as legal discipline requirements).

03

Horsesense: as in Commonsense

Covering key topics of Horse-Sense like learning how to bridge the gap between human logic and equine instinct, reading subtle body language and energy cues, helping one to better understand  the universal equine language to build a deeper, more trusting bond with your horse.

05

Does Your Horse Pass the Soundness Test?: Do You Pass the Soundness Test?

Covering key topics like self-soundness checks to evaluate your horse’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being without relying on expensive vet imaging. While formal assessments from a vet and farrier remain crucial for deep diagnostics, daily self-checks help catch issues early. A vital part of this is the 20% rule (ensuring your horse's total tack and rider weight does not exceed 1/5 of the horse’s body weight), preventing undue stress on their joints, ligaments, and bones. Soundness is a holistic partnership: when a horse displays behavioral or movement issues, the root cause is frequently traced back to the rider's balance, tack fit, or riding technique rather than the horse itself. Here you can find specific instructions on how to perform a basic, DIY hoof-to-ear self-check.

07

Comfort Starts with Protection

Covering key topics of essential equine care and how important it is to defend your horse from biting insects and irritation using targeted fly masks, sheets, and sprays. Discover the clean environment advantages like how stall management, pasture maintenance, and manure control drastically reduce not just fly or other bug populations, but health risks too (especially for broodmares). Other topics like understanding how improperly fitted saddles, bridles, and blankets cause discomfort and behavioral issues (and how to ensure the right fit), as well as a check list of all the right supplies for every horse, such as the must-have grooming tools, health supplies, and daily care essentials every owner needs (also covering deworming, vaccines and their importance).

06

Heavy is the Food that Feeds the Horse
