Mid Western Spirit

🐴 I learned so much from my conversation with saddle fitter Jordan Kopras of Saddles in Motion.

We talked about how saddle fit impacts a horse’s comfort, movement, and behavior — and the small signs riders often miss.

Such a thoughtful and eye-opening interview. ❤️

The article also includes information on Jordan’s upcoming saddle fitting for anyone interested in scheduling with her.🤠

Independent saddle fitter Jordan Kopras of Saddles in Motion explains how proper saddle fit impacts horse comfort, movement, and performance for riders across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

Sometimes the horse is trying to tell us something long before we recognize it.🐴

In my upcoming Mid Western Spirit article, I sit down with saddle fitter Jordan Kopras of Saddles in Motion to talk about saddle fit, horse behavior, and the subtle signs riders often overlook.🤠

Coming next Thursday. I can’t wait to share this one with you.

Deworming recommendations👇

F***l egg counts have returned!

Every Thursday in April we will be performing f***l egg counts at a different Spikes & Houles location!

All you have to do is bring in your horse’s p**p sample up to 5 days ahead of time and we will run the sample in store and send you back the results and deworming recommendations!

Blindly deworming just worsens parasite resistance, and utilizing f***l egg counts to strategically deworm is a great way to be a responsible horse owner and prolong dewormer efficacy.

Let us know if you have any questions!
