Going Beyond English Riding in Young Adult Equestrian
When I think about the books I read growing up, the Saddle Club or the Thoroughbred series. They revolved either around English riding or thoroughbred horse racing. Though the Saddle Club had a friend (Janie, I believe her name was) who rode western on a ranch that they visited in the summer, no o

I’m Hooked on Mini Whinnies
I admit, when Breyer first came out with their Mini Whinnies line of model horses (1:64) I thought they were a gimmick. They are micro miniatures, much smaller than stablemates, which are about 4" high and my favorite line of model horses. (Less storage space). But since I like to buy a blind bag when I go to the farm store to get feed, I decid

What Year of the Fire Horse Means To Me
We moved into the year of the fire horse just a few days ago, and my social media feed has been filled with posts about charging ahead, being impulsive, not being stagnant. And I can see that with the yang aspect of fire combined with the horse. I'm reminded of the Chariot tarot card, one where the chari

Horses As Therapy
There's some bills I don't mind paying, and for me that's the horse expenses. I mean after all, I look at what I'm spending and I could either be paying that in copays to a medical system that has shown time and time again that it has failed me (I am in rural Missouri where "we don't treat pain" has turned into "we don't treat bodies in pain for anythi

Supply Chain Interruptions and Feed Changes
A couple of weeks ago when I went to buy horse feed I had a shock when I found out the feed store was out of what I usually fed. Mostly because this is a feed that's made by the feed store, albeit in another town, so I thought they'd never run out. When MFA closed my local store, leaving me only with one that was an h

An interesting equine use for AI (Preventing Racetrack Injuries)
I don't keep up with horse racing as much as I used to, though there's still a blog I visit. Partially because I have very mixed feelings about the sport, but also frankly all the scandals around Bob Baffert (a big name trainer) and the Triple Cro

Horses Are Creature of Habit
I'm going to be feeding late tonight because I have a late afternoon appointment. It's okay because some experts say it's good not to keep horses on a tight feeding schedule so they don't anticipate food and get pushy at meal time. I'm thankful that my herd isn't like that. They simply go to their bucket and wait. Except..when I'm late.

When I'm late feedi

Tadpoles in the Horse Trough
Welcome to the first entry in what I hope will be a new weekly series, Horse Talk With Kit, where I share bits of my life here on the farm that inspire my writings as well as more general horse care information. My goal is to be more transparent (and dare I say it more "human") with you, as well as share what brings me joy every week. Thanks for bein
