The Importance of Keeping your Horse Fit by Caryn A. Tate Your horse is an athlete, especially if you work him in a particular field, such as barrel racing, roping, ranch work, or jumpers. I can't stress enough the importance of keeping this fact in mind as you feed him and take care of him. A horse isn't a miracle animal who can sit around in his stall all week long, and then on Saturday, come out and make amazing time on the barrels. As their trainers, we have to realize that our horses have bodies (and minds) that need to be conditioned just as our own do. One of the reasons that it is our responsibility to observe our horses' fitness and level of health is because, of course, a horse can't speak. He can't tell you where he hurts or how it feels. So it's up to us to be observant and notice the way that our horses move, the sounds they may make, the body language they have as they move or you ask them to do something. If they limp, or act as though some part of them is more tender or sensitive than usual, we must be able to notice that and take proper steps to help them heal. That’s why it’s so important to teach kids who spend time with horses or other animals how to notice these things. Kids can be epecially rough with them if they aren’t taught to be sensitive to their more hidden needs. We can look at it as the least we can do to repay our horses' sensitivity and unconditional love to look out for them. After all, if we don't look out for our own horses, who ever will? And as tough as horses are, we all know they tend to be prone to injury (at least compared to most other animals)! Make it a part of your routine with your horse to observe his movements and what he may be trying to tell you. It will be a big payoff when it becomes a natural thing for you to do.

Breaking News - Dec 2005 New Patent for Farm Animal Odor Control As the population continues to move beyond urban boundaries and into rural communities, farm-related odors are increasingly becoming a point of contention between new residents and farmers raising livestock. Such conflicts can have significant economic repercussions if farmers are forced to relocate or reduce production in order to limit objections to odors. Now, a new patent to be issued to Philadelphia's Monell Chemical Senses Center utilizes a unique method to reduce animal waste malodors, thereby helping farmers and their animals to co-exist peacefully with their new neighbors. read the rest of this story News Copyright © 2005 InterestALERT All rights reserved. |
