What are your thoughts on the Equestrian being banned from the Olympics for abusing her horse? Unfortumately, we have witnessed someone with a similar action loading a horse into a trailer in which we shared our displeasure. Needless to say, they didn't board here long.

Animal rights group Peta has called for equestrian events to be banned from the Olympics after a video emerged showing Charlotte Dujardin whipping a horse

Is Senior Active" right for your Thoroughbred? Hear what Megan R. had to say-
"5 stars- My very picky OTTB loves this feed! He nickers for it every time I come to his door with it. If he’s out in the arena, he will come running to eat it. I don’t have to feed much of it which is really nice. He’s only been on it for almost a month now but I’ve noticed he’s seeming to fill out a bit. His coat is very shiny and soft. It also doesn’t make him super hot which is a huge plus. I think he feels really great on this grain."

Great training idea!

This was the challenge for my student today. Not only did it put her hands in the right place, and organized her arms in a way that I could have never explained it better, it gave her a real feeling of feeling the bit connected to her ring fingers.

With show season in full swing, don't forget trailer maintenance. It can leave you stranded. I am a little OCD, so my checklist may be a little aggressive on how often, but here is the list I do on my trailers:

Every Trip:
- Check tire pressures (You can install caps that show green if they are full to save time, or a TPMS system that also screws on your valve stems).
- Check safety chains and lights.
- Check trailer brakes. To do this, I put the truck in Drive, press and hold the brake plunger on my brake controller, and let off the brakes. If you move, you have a problem.
- Check trailer connection for corrosion. I use dielectric grease to keep mine clean, found at any automotive store.

Every 3 months:
- Grease bearings. I use bearing buddy's to make it easier.
- Grease jack and run completely in and completely out.
- Check tire for uneven wear. Not normal with horse trailers with the axles so far back, but uneven loading can cause fish tailing and excessive tire wear.

Every 6 months:
- Grease tongue coupler.
- Check emergency brake disconnect. This is the cable that goes to a little box. I test by having the truck connected, pull the plunger out of the box and pull forward. If it doesn't, your emergency brake battery is depleted and either needs charged or replaced. This is crucial if your trailer ever detaches from your vehicle.
- Grease all hinges.

Every Year:
- Rotate tires just like a vehicle. The rear come forward and cross sides, the fronts go straight back. On my tri-axle, I do the same process, but axles 1 and 2 go straight back, and 3 crosses to the front.
- Measure the hub distance with a bob. This is more advanced, but insures that you don't have a loose spring or axle moving.
- Check tires for dry rot cracking. Sitting out in the sun damages the tires and dries them out.
- Inspect the underneath for any weak spots, dry rot(wood) or rust(metal).

If you have any questions, just ask and I'll be glad to answer. Happy Hauling!
