My dad and my older sister are my equine helpers. My dad helps me with my grooming, fencing, sheltering, and stuff like that. My sister helps me with my riding.

My Dad is the one who helps me, he has never had a horse but, he watches me ride and when i change how i ride with out realizing it he tells me, and when I’m gone he takes my horse for walks and tells me if he thinks something is wrong.

Whenever I come across a problem at the barn that seems almost impossible to fix, I turn to my trainer. She always seems to have the solution to problems that would stump even the most experienced of equestrians. I am lucky to be at the barn i am at now because I don’t know what I would do without her.

When I have a question about riding or my horse’s behavior I turn to my best friend. She almost always has an answer to my problem. If it is a medical question I ALWAYS turn to my vet, this way I can ensure my horse’s health and happiness.

My guru is my daughters’ coach. Even though we now live 8 hours away, she is by far the most well-versed horse person I’ve met. Whether its behavioural issues or medical issues, she likely has a solution. I’m pretty sure she’s a horse whisperer – the real deal.

The person I turn to is my sister. I’ve been away from horses for so long that most of what I have learned is slowly coming back to me. If I don’t know something I’ll always ask her.

I will definetly turn to my trainer, Youtube, and , you guessed it, training books when it comes to my three year old. I love him to pieces, but being a foot taller than me, he can be intimidating

I talk to my trainer and my horse’s massage therapist. (Yes, he has one while I do not) She has an amazing eye for horses and can diagnose pretty much anything in seconds. She always has a solution for any issue, whether it’s a problem of not going forward or refusing fences over and over. She has a logical and a reasonable approach for it all, even when I’m in hysterics over my horse’s extreme sensitivity to mosquitoes! She keeps her cool and has saved my butt so many times! We all have our own opinions, but I can count on her to deliver a sane and calm approach towards any problem, big or small!

When I need some advice, I usually ask my barn manager! She is fantastic and can tell you exactly what you need to do! She is also absolutely hilarious… She can make any dire situation humorous. She has years and years of experience and many stories of shows, lessons and the equestrianne lifestyle! She is a rough around the edges kind of person, and can terrify you in the arena, but she is wonderful and talented individual!

My horsey guru is my best friend, trainer, and barn manager! She has about 45 years of experience with horses, and there is nobody I would trust more with my horse’s health. She is also the best trainer I’ve ever had. Always fun, positive, and an excellent problem solver for those not so great days with our equine friends. Even with medical mishaps or nutritional needs, she has always amazed me with her impeccable horse sense! She has always been right at my side through thick and thin, and I am eternally grateful for her and the friendship we share!
