Looking for a hunter pace? Check out New England Equestrian Center of Athol's upcoming event on Saturday!

Getting ready for next Saturday's Hunter Pace at NEECA. We've got some fun jumps set up all over the place, but this line up through the meadow is pretty awesome. Remember, you don't have to jump all, or any, of the jumps on the course. (We have 3 divisions so you can choose the level you're most comfortable with). This is about having fun and getting out to enjoy a great day with your horse and friends! Go to neeca.org to sign up today.

Join Horse Logic columnist Nicole Birkholzer - Mindful Connections for a zoom call September 22!

Just last week at a therapeutic riding center, five new horses introduced themselves to me. They had all been in the program for less than a few months—an ideal time to check in.

One horse immediately shared that he was well prepared for the job but wanted to make sure the lessons would be interesting and varied. Another showed us that he likes to be touched and tacked with slow motions—none of that quick brush flicking we so often do when we’re under pressure to get a horse ready for a lesson.

Every horse brings a history, and how we welcome them shapes their future.

Join me for Horses on the Move, a live Zoom call on Sunday, September 22, at 7 PM (ET), where we’ll explore:
• How to tune in and make transitions easier for new horses.
• Ways to prepare them for their new job.
• How to keep them engaged and fulfilled for the long term.

This call is for instructors, staff, and volunteers who want to support their horses with the same care they give their riders.

There will be a recording.
Mark your calendar and bring your questions—let’s talk about the mindful side of moving horses.
