Life in the Crossties: Back at the Barn with Kentucky Performance Products

Every barn does things a little differently, every horse has a unique routine, and every ride is a whole new roll of the dice. What never changes is the quiet time before and after every ride between you and your horse. In the lead-up, you’re full of anticipation about what the ride will bring, what to remember, what to work on, what you expect of your horse.

In the cool down, you’re going through the ride in your head, sometimes full of elation and relief and excitement for the future, and occasionally wondering why it is you’re here day in and day out and how you’re ever going to get to the goal posts. Though it can be a mixed bag, that quiet time with your partner is a sacred moment in all its forms. It’s the gift we give to them for all they do for us.

Here’s a few beautiful, sweet, and sometimes funniest moments you’ve captured of the ones we love in their quietest hour.
