    The Patriarchy Isn't About Horses so I Lost Interest

    The patriarchy not only takes form in politics but also in the horse world. Big name trainers are predominantly men while mostly women occupy facilities at the local level. Even in equestrian circus arts women are capped at their physical strength while men have no limits. As a cis woman who rode in jeans and performed "masculine" tricks, here are some of my stories and some ideas to fight the patriarchy in the horse industry. Support women in business; vets, farriers, trainers, etc., don't give a hoot about the gender role traditions, and create a safe space for our allies. Love, your female knight.

    Keeping it Short, Simple, and Sweet

    There are many schools of thought based around how long and how hard we should work our horses. Many of those schools of thought are outdated and old school. Seeing horsemanship with discernment can provoke change in an individual and an individual can provoke change in the collective. This is what we call evolution and progression. If not the old ways, than what? Using scientific data from animal psychological studies and experience from professionals I stand behind and witness amazing results with keeping sessions short, simple, and sweet. Ideally 20 minutes 4 times a week. Check out the cited information on physical and mental capabilities of horses to support this. Oh yeah and come to summer camp!

    The Power of Grace and Gratitude in Horsemanship

    We get into equestrian sports from the love of the horse. When does love of the sport overpower the love of the horse? When you see a beautiful flower, do you pick it or water it and provide what it needs to grow? Attitude and perspective in horsemanship can change just about everything. It's not about what you're doing but how you're doing it. Intention ripples through everything; your horses, your students, and your inner peace. Ask yourself why you're here and what you bring to the animals, art, sport, or industry.
