Dogs and horses can form a really strong bond, especially if the two are brought up together at a horse farm. Both of these creatures:
Enjoy outdoors
Enjoy playing and running
Enjoy food
Love affection and humans
Get along well with a variety of other animals (such as goats, cats, sheep, etc.)
Plus, you can teach both of them super fun tricks. However, it’s not true for all dog breeds. Smaller-sized dog breeds might be afraid of horses.
You bought a new horse property and now you need to move your horse. Maybe you have more horses than place in your trailer? Transporting your horse is a major responsibility. Not just in terms of finances, but there are a number of other things to consider. When it comes to shipping your horse with FedEx, the good news is that yes, FedEx does offer the option of shipping your horse across the US.
FedEx offers specialized chartered Air Freight Delivery Services that can be used to transport horses from one part of the country to another. There are a number of key points that you must know about such services. Before opting to ship your horse on air freight, it is important you know everything that there is.
Water Quality and How It Affects Horses
Water safety for horses takes on whole new meanings when groundwater is involved. Caring for pastures and paddocks is essential in maintaining local bodies of water and making them reasonably clean and safe for horses to drink, especially on warm days. Even so, tap water needs a little more attention as well for it to be good for horses on top of whatever treatment
When your dog first sees a horse, he’ll most likely react by chasing the horse or barking at it. That could be because the dog is afraid or nervous about the horse and reacts by trying to frighten the strange creature away by displaying aggressive behaviors.
Dogs are naturally predatory animals that hunt other species for food. On the other hand, horses are prey animals that instinctively take flight when they feel threatened. If your pet is not restrained the first time he encounters a horse, the chances are that Fido will set off in hot pursuit of Dobbin!
As the owner of an equestrian property, you are in an enviable position. Not only do you own sprawling land, but you can also live and ride on your own property. But in addition to that, there is serious untapped potential for additional income. Your horse property can become a very profitable business. You can choose to keep it equestrian-related or get a little creative with it. But remember that you will most likely need to apply for a permit in order to change your property. That goes for building or using it for other purposes other than riding. Make sure to check your local laws before making plans or starting work on turning your property into a business. Equine conservation is a crucial issue that cannot be ignored and its importance overstated. You also need to look into insurance issues.
Have you ever seen a horse get anxious and stressed? The idea of an anxious and stressed horse seems atypical, but horses are emotional animals that are prone to anxiety and stress when put under certain social and environmental triggers that lead to their anxious behavior.
If you have ever had the experience of being an equestrian or examining horses from a close distance, whether during a show or on some horse farm, you might be well aware of the behavioral changes that occur in horses while they are in the show or the farm.
Humans historically owe a lot to their equine friends for all the hard work and companionship. Research shows eye-popping emotional bondage that is formed as a result of human-horse interaction.
Professionals use equine therapy to guide humans through various activities with horses to address as part of their mental health treatment. Equine therapy is a proven and effective way of dealing with stress or depression. It can play an important role in helping students boost their self-awareness and social skills.
By engaging in grooming or feeding activities, you can help yourself too. If you have never tried equine therapy, there are at least five good reasons to do it now.
