Welcome to our blog, a space dedicated to retired horses. We’ll share horse care and barn tips from a cottage-industry style perspective – caring for a small herd in your own back yard. (If your backyard has shelter and fenced in paddocks that is!) My goal is to empower others to join the cause because nothing feeds the soul like caring for horses in this phase of their lives, and more of us are needed. The horses need us, and so do their owners!
We cover everything from bedding choices and mucking to essential supplies, cleaning and new boarder onboarding tips. Also, dive into our “Lessons Learned” for practical advice on cost management. SEE MORE
We dive into topics like nutrition, grooming, stall buddy placements, and mental well-being to ensure our equine friends live their best lives. SEE MORE
Here, we’ll share stories of how our own herds have communicated, formed bonds, and established their social hierarchies. Trot along with us through stories that will warm your heart and amaze you by the magnificence of the natural order of their relationships. SEE MORE
We wouldn’t be complete without a kid’s section! Here kids can learn all about them – things like their vision, anatomy, how they communicate, and why they kick when you run up behind them! Whether you were born with the horse gene, or just curious, “Kids Korner” is packed with exciting facts and playful tidbits to spark imaginations and love for horses. SEE MORE
