At Blue-Star, Horses Work

Blue-Star Equiculture supports working horses. When I see these horses up close – many of them are retired carriage horses – it is clear to me that they need exercise and work to stay healthy and sound. They are big animals with powerful muscles, they are eager for work and eager to move. Work heals horses, it grounds them, as it does for border collies and therapy dogs. It is uplifting to see.

At Blue-Star they live and work and rescue working horses, I learn much from watching them and listening to them. They teach the horses to work and find work for them, they also demonstrate the work horses do all over the area.  Sadly, many people think work for horses is so cruel and abusive they seek to ban it, rather than understand it,  change it, improve it, or learn about it. I support working animals, I  have lived with them for a long time and see the power of what they do.
