🐴 Help Brodie !! 🐴

Our Horses Need Your Help

Brodie, pictured below, is one of 15 horses that Equitopia has taken in over the years.

Brodie was brought here by a young girl who had learned how to ride on him. He was being given away to anyone who would take him, as his owners no longer wanted him.

He has SEVERE arthritis in his left knee, and his body is not in great shape due to his lack of care over the years.

Sadly, the young lady who brought him here also abandoned him three months in - it's a much different story to CARE for a horse as opposed to just getting on to RIDE.

Brodie is NOT rideable.

We are in need of hay this coming week - we go through four bales a day to keep these guys fed, so need $1900 to get an 18 day supply.

We have a GoFundME ongoing to try to help us with the expenses, which are $7-$10k per month.

You can also support them by becoming a member of our educational platform, where we teach people how to care for horses in a way that helps them to not end up like Brodie:)

Please support our Vision, Mission and horses by making a donation or joining our community - a big thank you from Equitopia founder, Caroline, and her 15 kids!

Hey fellow horse lovers! Are you struggling with keeping your horse property manageable during the wet seasons? Don't worry, you're not alone! 🐎

We all know that mud and flooding can be a big headache for horse owners. But fear not, there are some simple tips and tricks that can make your life a lot easier.🤞

First things first, make sure that your drainage system is in good shape. Regularly clear out any debris and ensure that all pipes and culverts are functioning properly. You can also create a drainage ditch around the perimeter of your property to divert excess water away from high traffic areas.

💡Another tip is to install geotextile fabric or gravel in high traffic areas such as gates, water sources, and feeding areas. This will help prevent mud from forming and make it easier for your horse to move around without slipping.

💡Don't forget to provide your horse with a dry, well-drained area to stand and lie down in. You can use wood chips, sand, or gravel to create a suitable surface. And if you're dealing with particularly deep mud, consider using rubber mats to provide a stable surface for your horse.

Remember, taking care of your horse property during the wet seasons can be a lot of work, but it's worth it to keep your horses safe, healthy, and happy. We're all in this together, so let's share our tips and tricks in the comments below!

Hey there horse lovers!🐴 Me again!

Are you aware of the importance of parasite control for your equine friend's health? Horses are vulnerable to a wide range of internal and external parasites, including worms, bots, lice, mites, ticks, and flies. These pesky parasites can cause a variety of health issues such as weight loss, colic, anemia, diarrhea, and skin irritation. As a responsible horse owner, it's crucial to implement effective parasite control measures to ensure your horse's health and well-being.

One of the most critical aspects of equine parasite control is regular deworming. Deworming involves administering anthelmintic drugs to kill or eliminate parasites from the horse's body. The type of anthelmintic used may vary depending on the horse's age, health status, environment, and geographic location. Veterinarians often perform f***l egg counts to determine the appropriate deworming schedule for the horse.

But deworming is not the only solution for effective parasite control. Horse owners should also implement good management practices to reduce the risk of parasite transmission. These practices may include regular cleaning and disinfection of stables and equipment, proper manure management, and pasture rotation. Additionally, minimizing exposure to flies, which can transmit various diseases, is also essential.

Over-reliance on deworming drugs can lead to drug-resistant parasites, which is why it's important to use these drugs judiciously and to implement other management practices. Monitoring horses for signs of parasitic infections is also crucial. Early detection and treatment can prevent serious health problems and reduce the risk of transmission to other horses.

So, let's work together to ensure the health and well-being of our equine friends by implementing effective parasite control measures. Your horse will thank you for it!

Yes 🙌 listen to your horse 🐴
Every behaviors are a opportunity to open a heart for a conversation with your horse.

LISTEN TO YOUR HORSE

If your horse has a behaviour problem then it will either be your fault or your responsibility.

'Misbehaviour' in horses is either normal behaviour that the handler has misinterpreted, or behaviour that the horse is performing as a result of pain, unsuitable management, bad training or any combination of the three.

Instead of asking if there is a gadget/stronger bit/drug/quick fix/punisher you can use – ask 'why is my horse behaving this way and how can I resolve the problem?'
