In the heart of the Palisades fires, Kalyna Fedorowycz became the epitome of courage and dedication in the equestrian world. When faced with a horse too frightened to load into an evacuation trailer, she didn’t hesitate—she volunteered to ride it to safety. As flames threatened in the distance, Kalyna mounted the horse, her father driving behind for support, embodying the deep bond and trust shared between horse and rider. This extraordinary act reminds us of the lengths equestrians will go to protect their horses. It’s not just a sport; it’s a lifestyle built on loyalty, bravery, and an unspoken connection with these majestic animals. Watching Kalyna guide the horse through the chaos is a powerful testament to what it means to be a true horsewoman. In times of crisis, such stories inspire and unite the equestrian community. Whether you’re involved in horse rescue, training, or simply admiring from afar, Kalyna’s bravery underscores why horses hold such a profound place in our hearts. Her story isn’t just about riding—it’s about love, trust, and risking everything for a companion that means the world. This moment encapsulates the resilience of the human-horse bond and the unwavering spirit of equestrians everywhere. #EquestrianLife #HorseRescue #PalisadesFires #HorseLove #RiderAndHorse #EquestrianCommunity #HorsebackRiding #HorsesOfInstagram #HorseStories #HorseCare #EquineHeroes #AnimalRescue #Bravery #EquestrianBond

Round pen work is very important for new / young horses but can also be used for finished horses. We round pen all our horses no matter level of training. It gets the thinking side of their brain going, get control of their feet, is great for pressure work, and builds on the respect and trust. Tank in the first video is a young 4yo OTTB who does well but still has some baby in him, as you can see from his head tossing. But in the end he yields to it. Apollo in the second video is a 12yo gelding, who is a great horse but under saddle is a little slow. So we are just working him to pick up his feet and speed some. And you should recognize Eagle Rare in the last video. He was the horse we laid down a few weeks ago. He gets better everyday with his respect and trust, and our bond is strong now. It’s been a long year for us together but it’s been worth it to see him turn into a great horses and leader of the herd. You’ll see all these horses on camp this year plus the rest of the herd! Please reach out if you have any questions or need help with a horse and keep grinding!

At an under tack show held by Ocala Breeders’ Sales (OBS) in Ocala, Florida, a reckless sprint event turned deadly: A horse was killed by track staff after a collision, and a jockey lay motionless on the ground. Under tack shows don’t have to be fatal. Deadly sprints used to drive up selling prices of young horses at these shows are pointless. They’re not even good indicators of performance for future races. When they don’t kill the horses, these events (and the training leading up to them) often leave the animals with permanent injuries. Thankfully, PETA has a plan that would stop most of the carnage at under tack shows without significantly affecting their operation. The proposed format would demonstrate juvenile horses’ aptitude for real races instead of dangerous, breakneck sprints that they will never perform again. Please, take a moment to defend young horses who are used for racing by indicating your support for PETA’s proposal. https://lnkd.in/gkc7Vtjx #NotOursToUse #AnimalRights #AnimalWelfare #AnimalSafety #NotYourEntertainment #endspeciesism #activism #activist #advocate #advocacy #animaljustice #animalliberationnow #AnimalRightsActivist #Horses #EndHorseRacing #AnimalsUsedforEntertainment
