Great explanation 👍👍 I’ve been fired from accounts because horse owners thought I left “too much” toe or “I looked it up on the internet and it should look like this” but in reality that’s what the horse needed. It comes down to trust the training of your farrier it’s likely to do you more good.

Balance is key

Just a guess but I would say most horse owners don’t stretch their horses.

Stretching your horse is important for several reasons, as it contributes to their overall health, performance, and longevity:

1. Improves Flexibility: Regular stretching helps improve the horse’s range of motion, making them more flexible and reducing the risk of injuries, especially during intense physical activities.
2. Prevents Stiffness: Just like humans, horses can get stiff muscles after exercise. Stretching helps loosen tight muscles, promoting better mobility and comfort for the horse.
3. Enhances Performance: Stretching can lead to improved athletic performance by allowing the horse to move more freely, improving stride length, balance, and coordination.
4. Promotes Circulation: Stretching increases blood flow to the muscles, which helps in delivering nutrients and removing waste products. This contributes to quicker recovery after exercise.
5. Injury Prevention: By keeping the muscles supple and flexible, stretching helps reduce the likelihood of strains, tears, or other soft tissue injuries.
6. Relieves Tension: Horses, especially those involved in heavy workloads, can experience muscle tension. Stretching helps release this tension, improving the horse’s comfort and mental relaxation.
7. Early Detection of Issues: While stretching your horse, you can detect any stiffness, soreness, or discomfort early, allowing you to address potential health issues before they worsen.

Incorporating stretching into your horse’s routine, alongside proper warm-up and cool-down periods, helps maintain their physical health and ensures they are comfortable and ready for their work.

Often I’m presented with a horse and told that it’s lame in front. Often the front end problem will be created by a poorly conformed hind end.

Ready or not, fall is right around the corner! As a horse owner, the best part about this time of the year is knowing we won't have to deal with as many insect-related issues. However, now is also the time to start thinking about housing, nutrition and preventative health strategies suitable for the arrival of winter.

Your equine veterinarian is one of your greatest allies this season: be sure to give them a call soon to discuss vaccination and deworming protocols appropriate for your horse’s situation; use this opportunity to chat about recommended changes in nutrition and exercise program as well!

Some reasons to why you should clean your horses hooves daily.

1. Prevention of Infections: Regular cleaning helps remove dirt, manure, and debris that can harbor bacteria, reducing the risk of infections like thrush, which can cause lameness if left untreated.

2. Detection of Issues: Daily cleaning allows you to inspect the hooves for injuries, cracks, abscesses, or foreign objects (like stones or nails) that could cause discomfort or damage if unnoticed.

3. Improved Circulation: Picking the hooves also helps stimulate blood flow in the feet, promoting better circulation and overall hoof health.

4. Prevention of Lameness: Removing packed dirt or debris helps maintain proper hoof balance and prevents uneven weight distribution, reducing the likelihood of lameness.

5. Comfort and Mobility: Clean hooves improve the horse’s comfort while walking or working, ensuring optimal performance and preventing irritation.

Regular care is vital for maintaining a horse’s overall health and mobility.
