Another one for the fun fact lovers😋

Did you know that horses have just one less bone than humans? 🤯

Humans typically have 206 bones, while horses have around 205, with their front legs attached to the rest of their body only by muscles and tendons! This unique structure of theirs contributes to their incredible range of motion and their ability to pull off impressive gallops and jumps, as their body is naturally built to absorb such huge impact.

Nature really knows how to keep things interesting, doesn’t it? 😌✨

Happy May everyone🌼❤️

We are back with a long time awaiting fun fact 😋

Did you know that horses can’t burp or vomit?😳

Due to a very strong and tight muscular valve between the oesophagus and stomach, the cardiac sphincter, that prevents food or gas from returning upward, their digestive system is basically a one way street..

So unlike us, with a ‘reverse’ option, horses are way more sensitive than you’d think!

Remember why you first started riding?🏇

Sometimes we get lost in the process. We let our emotions take over and forget why we began in the first place — for the love of the horse, for the quiet serenade that plays in our minds when we’re in the saddle, for the way the world softens and stills when we’re near them.

For that and for so much more… Go back to the beginning and hold on to that thought. Always🩷
