Will Chilli get the attention she craves?

Watch closely as we observe the subtle interactions and expressions in these horse videos. Understanding horse behavior and animal emotions is key to good horsemanship, especially when interpreting body language of horses. Join us for some more horse talk from the barn on my weekly Tuesday livestreams!

Today I am grateful for the quiet of a Sunday morning. For all of the animals being healthy and alert this morning. For the fabulous day I had yesterday. We had nice new horse clients and it was wonderful to be able to freely give so much information to these new horse owners to set them up for success! I am grateful I have food in the fridge. I am grateful for the sunshine, the whole day ahead of me to freely spend as I choose, and for my family. Much to be grateful for this day of thanks, and every day.

Are you reflecting on gratitude this Sunday morning, my Animal Loving Angel? I sure hope so. I encourage you to take a moment today, right now, to take a deep breath, close your eyes, and in your mind find something to be grateful for. There is always, always, something to be grateful for.

Wishing you the most amazing day, my animal people out there. Spend some quality time with your pets today (or someone else's), you know you need more of that smile it always puts on your face just to be in their presence, am I right?

If you are local to the area, be sure to snag your ticket for our (#kyderby) Kentucky Derby party at the Wild Game on Saturday May 2nd from 1-5 pm. Nacho bar, hat contest, mock betting, raffle baskets, and other prizes all afternoon. The Wild Game is the most fun place to be for all horse lovers on Saturday May 2nd. This is not about exploiting animals, this is about celebrating their achieve achievements.

And if there is anything I can do for you, to help you in your journey to live a longer, healthier, happier life with your animals, I am here for you. Make it a great day, and God bless!

​P.S. Of course Chilli will get the attention she deserves, she is too beautiful to resist! :)
