We all know that you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. One of the times you need him to is after hard exercise, when he’s lost body water and electrolytes through heavy sweating. It’s vital to avoid dehydration, which can lead to problems such as kidney damage and colic.

Remember the Three Little Pigs and their houses? The house of straw, flimsy and unstable, ready to blow away with a gust of wind; the house of sticks, built with a little more stability, but still unreliable when the chips were down. The ultimate house, the house of bricks, was ready for anything, solid and dependable.

Having horses is a lot of fun. These massive animals can bring a lot of joy to your life. While they are a lot of fun, they do require a lot of work, and much of this work is in an effort to protect them and to keep them in a safe area. The way that most horse owners do this is with a horse fence. A horse fence is a great tool because it not only keeps other animals away from the horses; it keeps the horses in an area that is safe for them. It is important to keep the horses in an enclosed area when they are not being directly supervised for their safety as well as the safety of others.

How Often Should You Shoe Your Horse?

The standard farrier practice is to shoe a normal healthy horse every six to eight weeks. That periodicity takes into account primarily two things, shoe wear and hoof growth. A healthy hoof will grow at about the rate of a quarter inch a month. A quick bit of math that means in two months time the hoof growth will equal about one half inch. That is enough to get a horse out of “balance”. Allowing the horse to go more than 60 days without being trimmed or reshod will probably begin to cause stress in the three distal phalanxes. The three foot bones, coffin bone, short pastern bone and long pastern bone carry a lot of weight. It is those three bones that are of the most concern. A hoofed allowed to grow past the normal shoeing interval can lead to dramatically poor performance, injuries or even diseases such as navicular. The best thing you can invest in for your horse is proper hoof care. No hoof, no horse.

With any wound be gentle and use your common sense and stay calm to prevent causing your horse any further pain or worry as this can lead to the horse becoming unstable with its behaviour especially if he doesn’t feel safe and secure. Call your vet if you are unsure of what to do.
