A few tips on horse care for beginners and horse property owners (and others). These are primarily on the topic of Health Care.
Sweet Itch, What Is It and How Do I Treat It?
Equine therapy, or horse riding treatment, became popular in the middle on the XX century. Its goal was to help handicapped people in learning and physical development so they could return to normal life. Since then, doctors have been widely recommending it as a treatment method for children with autism, ADHD and dyspraxia. Horse therapy can help children with communication, behavior, emotional or social problems, physical and developmental challenges.
At the same time, equine therapy includes much more than simply riding a horse. A trained therapist builds a vast educational environment using pictures, stickers, boards, games and other tools. And adds interaction with a horse, of course. It helps children to train a wide range of social, physical and cognitive skills in natural surroundings.
Some people enjoy horseback riding in nature. Others enjoy equestrian sports such as Polo, show jumping, racing, dressage, etc. Needless to say, horse-based tourism is thriving! However, there are still some misconceptions about this kind of tourism. Namely, it should not be mistaken with horseback riding tours that last for a couple of hours. Horse-based tourism must include at least two days with an overnight stay (or more) where the equestrian activity is the main motivation.
They see you coming into the paddock, watch you approaching out of the corner of their eye, heads down, still eating, pretending that they haven’t seen you or heard you when you called them …. and they wait; until you are within a hairbreadth of them and then … wham; they’re off … racing like the wind with their heads up and tails flying in the wind, you can almost see them laughing at you!
Most companion animals cohabit with horses well on a horse farm. Animals like dogs, cats, goats and chickens can live with horses, provided their owner knows how to care for them and spot potential problems before they happen. There are some animals you don’t want living with your horse. Here’s a look at unwanted stable mates that can move in and cause trouble.
Moving to your new horse property may be a time filled with excitement as you begin to make plans for a new life, but the move itself can throw you and your family members (whether they walk on two legs or four) into a frenzy. A move to a beautiful horse farm can mean growth, new opportunities, and renewed vigor for life.
Horses are beautiful animals and horse farming is a highly sought lifestyle for those who enjoy riding or showing their horses. It’s exciting to finally sit down and make plans to relocate everything to farm. Still, the excitement that lies on the other end of the move doesn’t necessarily eclipse the stress of the moving process. This means that it’s important to take whatever measures you can to make the move easier on you.
The coronavirus pandemic has changed our lives dramatically. Currently, we are all making serious efforts to stay safe and healthy until this difficult situation eventually comes to its end. Barn owners are faced with tough challenges to keep the virus off their barns, provide the horses with necessary care on a daily basis, and keep a sense of normalcy despite these circumstances. New practices are being implemented to protect all the essential workers from the virus. To help you overcome the current problems here is some useful advice on keeping your barn safe from coronavirus.
You may state horse riding is an easy task. Well, we wouldn’t say so. Any professional equestrian, in fact, would confidently say it needs concentration and an ability to control your body. Coordination is key. You need to watch the rein pressure together with your leg pressure and control the posture simultaneously. When on the horse, there is no steering wheel to direct the animal, and all the more there is no safe belt to fixate you tightly on the saddle. Even if the horse attempts to kick you off, you need to develop a high level of body awareness and find a way to support yourself.
Having horses on your own property or farm is fun, but it is by no means an easy task. To be able to take care of a horse or horses, you’ll need to have pastures that you manage properly. With high-quality pastures, you can make sure that your horses have excellent nutrition.
On the surface, it sounds easy, but adequate pasture management is a challenging task, largely due to changing environmental conditions. But do not worry, if you want to know more about pasture management, grazing, and grooming your horses, you’ve come to the right place.
