#Repost @johnhaime with @make_repostJoin us in celebrating Adopt a Horse Month with the ASPCA’s Right Horse Initiative! We believe that equine adoption is vital to the health of our industry and the well-being of the equine population. Adoptable horses come in all breeds, sizes, types, and abilities. Visit @therighthorse to see some of the wonderful horses looking for new families and consider giving them a home and a chance: therighthorse.org. @aspca #adoptahorse #adoptdontshop #horsesofinstagram #horselife #equestrianlife #horserescue #horsesandhumans #horseadoption #horseandriderbooks✨Tuesday Tip✨ When braiding running braids (often used for horses with long manes), pull tightly and smooth with your thumbs to keep the braid close to the crest. If you pull tightly enough, the braid will start to "roll" so you can see the underside of it instead of the side.

He’s not. You aren’t being clear." Jane Savoie in Dressage Between the Jumps, published by TSB.
