Mid Coast Equine

Mid Coast Equine

If your barn is closed or thinking about closing. Please keep in mind that this decision wasn't an easy one. Seeing it from the barn owner's perspective is important. It's about more than just your horse.

Here are a list of things you can do if you are unable to go to the barn at this time:
-Thank your barn manager/owner/staff. An attitude of gratitude goes a long way. I guarantee you’ll feel better about yourself and I guarantee that’ll bring a smile to their face
-Write a list of goals and share them with your trainer (but keep in mind they will get back to you when they can)
-Have a barn family zoom session
-Read some horse related articles online (There are millions!)
-Read a book
-Sponsor a school horse...ya those guys aren’t covering their tabs right now .
-Join a rider fitness challenge
-Breathe. We’re going to be back and better than ever.
