DID YOU KNOW...

-for every 1 centimeter of extra toe length- this results in an extra 50 kilograms of force acting on the tendons

-1 degree drop in sole angle where the DDFT inserts into the coffin bone (affected by Palmar Angle) can lead to a 4% increase in the pressure exerted by the DDFT on the Navicular bone

These simple facts highlight how important it is to keep your horses on tight shoeing schedule and receive correct trimming/shoeing to give them a long and successful career.

1. The horse’s stomach (which is about the size of a rugby ball) can broadly be divided into two sections; the upper non-glandular (or squamous) region where food enters the stomach, and the lower glandular region where stomach (hydrochloric) acid is produced. Although the lower region is constantly exposed to acid, it generally has adequate protection and ulcers are most commonly found in the upper region.

2. Having evolved to spend around 16-18 hours per day foraging, the horse’s stomach is constantly producing stomach acid to digest food, even when the horse is not eating. A combination of prolonged periods of stabling with little or no forage and exercise can results in gastric acid ‘splashing’ onto the upper region of the stomach.

3. Saliva provides a natural buffer to stomach acid but unlike people, horses only produce saliva when they chew. Feeding short chopped fibre helps to extend eating time which in turn encourages saliva production and increases the horse’s ability to buffer damaging stomach acid. Chaff also forms a protective 'fibre mat' on top of the stomach contents, thus helping to prevent strong stomach acid splashing up onto the non-protected (squamous) region of the stomach where it can increase the risk of ulcers forming.

Ideally choose a fibre containing alfalfa as the high protein and calcium content is thought to further help buffer stomach acid. SPILLERS Alfalfa-Pro FIbre makes a great choice and has the added reassurance of the BETA EGUS approval mark.

Aldborough Hall Stud Livery is a 5-star livery yard that is easily accessible by public transport and backs onto the beautiful Fairlop Waters. They are one of three finalists for ‘Livery Yard of the Year’ from the Equestrian Business Awards. They offer full livery to 17 horses who participate in a range of disciplines and work to a very high standard whilst keeping a relaxed atmosphere.

On-site they have a large indoor and outdoor ménage. Some of their previous employees have gone onto careers such as running their own yards, a dressage rider in the USA, to working in The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery.

They are now looking for 3 new enthusiastic and reliable apprentices who want to work to the highest level. They must have a passion for horses, be hardworking, and be a team player.
