Sundog Stables

This boy needs your help!
My friend who owns him is needing to find him a companion spot or long term home.

He’s 14 years old now, pasture sound - can be occasionally ridden at a walk but otherwise comes up lame if anyone trots or canters him. Doesn’t kick buck or bite, reasonably respectful on the ground, easy to cross tie groom bathe etc. Getting his feet done today. He stands 17.1hh.

Please share his details…..he is such a lovely boy.
If anyone is interested please reach out to me and I can put you in contact with his owner.

This made me laugh…. And I don’t like numbers. Lol.

Everyone remember this? 😂

Nothing smells better❤️

There’s something about the smell of a horse that only horse people truly understand. 🐴❤️

The warm breath, the hay, the leather, the unmistakable scent of the stable… somehow it all feels like home.

For some, it’s just a smell. For us, it’s memories, early mornings, muddy boots, quiet moments and the company of an animal that can bring peace without saying a single word.

Sometimes all you need is to close your eyes, breathe it in… and everything feels a little better. ❤️

Soooo true!

Good information

Quick anatomy lesson that could change how you feed your horse:

Horses don't have a gallbladder.

In species that do — humans, dogs, cats — the gallbladder stores bile and releases it in concentrated bursts to emulsify dietary fat. Big meal with a lot of fat? Big release of bile.

Horses secrete bile continuously from the liver in small, steady amounts. There's no storage. No burst capacity. Just a slow, constant trickle.

So when we dump a cup of oil on a horse's feed, we're asking a system designed for slow, steady fat processing to handle a concentrated amount it was never built for.

The horse's evolutionary fat source? Seeds and the lipids naturally present in forages. Small amounts, consumed gradually over hours of grazing.

This is why I recommend whole food fat sources — h**p hearts, chia seeds, stabilized ground flax — over isolated oils. You're working with the biology instead of against it.

The horse already told us how it wants to eat. We just have to listen.

hang in there
