Inspiring, connecting and informing the horse community in San Luis Obipso County, California – and beyond.
With the recent rash of warm and cool weather, intermixed with a little rain and then burning sunshine, the Central Coast has seen a spike in flies and insects of all sorts. Sarah Williams shares first-hand information on how to thwart the bothersome flies.
Living the horse life means that you are going to have times when you put in more than it seems like you’re getting in benefits. During the “off season” or the “in climate months”, remember that all the time and effort you put in will pay off when it comes time to saddle up again and get back out there. Sarah Williams helps us find balance between horse care and saddle time.
There are many things we count our blessing for, and among them is our thankfulness for you, our SLO Horse News Readers. Sharon and Sarah write out the many things they are thankful for.
The sensitive and accepting yet vulnerable and powerful nature of a horse can be used to provide healing and enrichment for humans from all walks of life. We call it “horse power”, and there are many wonderful programs where great things are happening through purposed horse interaction. Enjoy the stories of miracles happening every time a horse interacts with a human in a variety of Therapeutic Riding programs and Equine Assisted Therapy programs in SLO County.
Our SLO County world is bursting forth with color which invites us to get out and explore on horseback. Be sure you and your horse are prepared to enjoy the trails and know proper etiquette to be sure others will enjoy the ride too.
