Braving the Cold & Tackling Social Media: How AI is Changing the Game for Equestrians
The winter morning greets me with a blast of -25°C air as I waddle out to feed the horses. I’m bundled up like a marshmallow. My phone is tucked somewhere beneath layers of winter gear, and my eyelashes are already freezing together. Some things never change. Winter in Alberta is always brutal. Keeping up with social media while juggling horse care feels just as frosty sometimes.
Fal’s curious face peeks around the corner as I approach with breakfast. Nitro, predictably, spooks at the sound of my snow pants swishing. Rygel gives his best grumpy old man look, daring the others to come near his food. As I toss hay to them, I’m mentally scrolling through content ideas for the accounts I manage. And in case you haven’t noticed—my own socials have been quiet while I’ve been busy creating content for others.
AI & Equestrian Social Media: A Helping Hand, Not a Replacement
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with AI Social Media tools to help manage my online presence. You know that feeling when you’re juggling feed schedules and lessons and trying to keep Instagram alive? Yeah, me too. That’s exactly why I started looking into AI. Not to replace the real moments we share, but to help organize them better.
The thing is, social media for equestrians isn’t like other industries. Our followers can spot inauthentic posts a mile away. Kind of like how Fal always knows when someone has treats in their pocket. They want to see real moments. Frozen water buckets, perfect jump courses, and yes, even Nitro’s belief that falling snow is out to get him.
Using AI to Keep It Real (and Keep Up!)
What I’ve discovered is that AI can help tell our stories better without taking away what makes them special. Think of it like having an extra pair of hands in the barn. The work is still done your way, just more efficiently.
Some days, when my fingers are numb from changing blankets, and my face is wind-burned, the last thing I want to do is figure out what to post. That’s when having a content strategy backed by AI feels like watching Dolly find the perfect distance to a jump—it just clicks.
Let’s Navigate This Together
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by social media, you’re not alone. The digital world keeps changing faster than Fal’s expression when he spots the treat bucket, but that doesn’t mean we can’t adapt.
