Harvest Moon Ranch - An Intuitive Approach....., The ranch focus is balanced between the horse’s needs and the human’s needs. For the horse it’s about balanced nutrition, keeping stress levels low, building healthy immune systems and creating a grounded environment where the horse can relax.

This! Overly long toes are a crazy thing imo

A viral post is telling owners that toe length doesn’t matter for laminitic horses, and that the vets and farriers recommending you take the toe back are wrong. The published research, the r…

Roy had his first visit with Fenja Königsmann the osteopath in December of 2024.

During his first visit in 2024 he was compliant. A Good boy. But worried and pretty tense with a hard little eye and a tight mouth and a painful stomach. He tolerated what we did but he was always ready to walk off and be alone as soon as I let him go. That was just his preference for a long time.

Until this last visit - his 7th visit which was yesterday. He was such a different horse. He was the horse that showed up a month or so ago. A healed horse. A happy horse. A horse with a voice and a horse with a say in what happens with his body. A horse in total agreement to the work being done. A horse that finally truly understands that what they feel - matters.

He was so in agreement that during his session he began grooming my head. Roy has never offered to groom me under any circumstance so when he started I couldn’t bring myself to ask him to stop. I didn’t want to shut down this incredibly sweet offer from Roy. It really did just stun me. I’m still ruminating on the whole appointment.

It’s just so special to see a horse that you’ve worked so hard with grow back into who they were before all that damage & resulting baggage changed them. Hes reminds me that patience is always worth it.

The mental damage horses suffer is often worse than the physycal damage they suffer trying to live life in a system created by humans to benefit humans.
