5 Ways to Relax with Your Horse

5/18/2018

With summer just around the corner and the warmer weather starting to give a taste of what's to come here are five ways you can spend time with your horse relaxing. Summer is the time to horse show every weekend but, just like we need a day off, sometimes our horses need a break from training and the routine.

Go for a Trail Ride

Wether you go for a walk around your barn or trailer out to the trails, this can be a great way to get together with friends and enjoy some beautiful scenery.

Go for a Swim

Some horses will think this is more fun than others but combining sun, sand, water and horses make for a wonderful mini vacation.

Go for a Bareback Graze

Maybe after you ride or if you are just feeling like enjoying the sound of your horse eating grass, going for a bareback graze can be just what the doctor ordered.

Give Your Horse a Bath

Sometimes giving your horse a bath and getting them to look their best without the pressures of a show can be a great way to look after your horse. And going out to let them graze while they dry can be so peaceful.

Practice Your Ground Work Skills

There is so much to learn about horses. Doing some groundwork or going to a clinic to learn something outside of your regular discipline can really help you learn more about what your horse needs from you.

What a wonderful post highlighting the importance of relaxation and bonding between horse and rider! Building a harmonious connection with our equine partners is truly a rewarding experience that deepens our understanding and trust in one another.

I particularly enjoyed the five ways you've outlined to relax with your horse. Each suggestion offers a unique opportunity to create moments of tranquility and forge a stronger bond. While reading your post, I couldn't help but think about the role that <a href="https://centerlinedistribution.net">horse calming supplements</a> can play in promoting relaxation for both horse and rider.

Incorporating horse calming supplements into our equine routines can be a valuable tool in creating a calm and serene environment. These supplements are formulated to support horses in finding their inner peace and can contribute to a more relaxed state during various activities, such as grooming, groundwork, or riding.
