Collaboration means success.
We can’t have all things in common, but we can have some things where we are in accord.
The deep, abiding love of horses – the value of the horse and the hope we can make more horsemen and women better . . .these are things we can build partnerships upon.
So when we were invited, at no cost to Heart of Phoenix, to take part in the Josh Lyons- Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy – Trainer’s Clinic last week, we were incredibly thankful because it meant that message of “Let’s Help Horses and Horse People” had connected with the industry insiders, but we also felt that it proved the industry is looking to work toward an amazing tomorrow for horses!
We are, too.

In light of recent flooding, wildfires, and other natural disasters in the United States, there has been increased concern regarding how to prepare horse farms for various natural disaster situations. Being prepared before disasters occur is the best way to increase your animal’s chance of survival and safety.
Before a Disaster Hits
Do you have an updated yearly plan of action for emergency situations? Having a plan of action before a disaster hits can help reduce both human and animal stress, increase survival, and minimize damages. Always heed evacuation notices to keep you and your family safe.
