Guest Blog – Ally O’Neill Interview
Please tell the readers where you grew up and how’d you get into horses? I don’t remember a time in my life where I haven’t been completely obsessed with horses. I started out just being a horse crazy kid and read as many books as I could, including all of the ones that explain the […]

Helmet Safety ©
Last week was Helmet Safety Awareness Week, so I thought it was important to address the importance of wearing a helmet when we are around our horses; particularly when we are riding. As an equestrian that has had a few spills and mild concussions as a result over the years, and also witnessed these happening […]
Self Care ©
R U OK? Day is coming up this Thursday on September 10th, and it has made me remember how terrible us Equestrians can be at giving ourselves the love and care that we need to be our best selves. Most the time we are too busy caring for our horses, working our day jobs and […]

Sharon is always finding ways to help fellow equestrians. She’s overcome many obstacles and is now a Para-athlete as well as a Paralympian. Sharon can you tell […]
