I agree 💯, horses need to be sedated for a proper oral exam and your horse should be checked every year. Also, why only veterinarians, or those working under the direction of veterinarians and allowed by the state’s veterinary practice act, should be doing equine dental work because they have access to the appropriate drugs to sedate the horses.

I have a personal story about preventative equine dental care I’ll try to share in a reel soon.

Even though the groundhog saw his shadow, and we have plenty of winter left to get through, there’s still only 44 days until spring. We can do it!

Daisy came to me in April 2024. I adopted her as a companion horse for Teaspoon. She was in good body condition but lame on the front. Her hooves, not terrible but not very healthy looking either, so we started there.

Here’s what we changed for Daisy:
1. Her environment & nutrition. Freedom to move and graze in a pasture. Forage + ration balancer + herbs. You can’t supplement your way to healthy hooves alone, without changing anything else.
2. Six week trim schedule. Very important to try and get this girl balanced and help her body move better to feel better. She feels better, she’ll move even more.
3. Enhanced blood flow to the hooves with regular BEMER therapy. To have a healthy hoof you NEED healthy blood flow. Period.

How do hooves get unhealthy in the first place? Things that inhibit blood flow in the hoof:
1. Living environment. Stalling or lack of turnout. Standing still = stagnant blood flow. It’s like a water tank or pond that has no water flow. The crud starts to build up, dirtying the water. Water flow keeps it clear.
2. Lack of movement. Maybe the horse is provided good turnout space but is not moving normally due to pain or injury.
3. Shoes, possibly. Consider this... The caudial cushion/frog needs contact with the ground to initiate the hoof’s blood flow pump with each step. Can the hoof flex enough with a shoe on to adequately work the blood flow pump? If the frog has atrophied, then no, it’s not getting contact with the ground and the pump cannot work effectively. Don’t worry, there are shoeing options for this.
4. Many medical conditions.

Let’s discuss! Share your thoughts in the comments.

The cold weather can affect our horses in many ways:
- Veins constrict, decreasing circulation.
- Horses tend to be tense, more reactive and less focused.
- It takes longer to warm up the muscles for a workout.
- Cold air and indoor ventilation might impact your horse’s respiratory tract.

The BEMER Horse-Set delivers a bio-rhythmically defined Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) to target the microcirculation of the horse, stimulating vasomotion to improve blood flow. BEMER helps promote healing and recovery during the health challenges that may be brought on during the cold winter months.

Good tips here! I’ve had trouble finding a feed scale in the past, ended up getting a fish scale with a hook to hang a bucket on for weighing pellets. Reach out if you need help calculating or have questions!

🌾 Weighing Alternative Forages for Your Horse! 🐴⚖️

When feeding alternative forages like hay cubes or pellets, weighing is the most accurate way to ensure your horse gets the right amount. Estimating by volume can be tricky and result in over or underfeeding. Here are key tips for weighing alternative forages.

⚠️ Consult an equine nutritionist before replacing any hay with alternative forage to ensure your horse's nutrient and health needs will be met.

⚖️ For every pound of long-stem hay you replace, feed one pound of alternative forage.

🐴 Make sure your horse receives about 2% of their body weight in forage daily. For example, a 1000-pound mature horse should receive about 20 pounds of forage (dry weight) daily.

🪣 Weigh and calculate your horse's daily amount of forage. For example, if you plan to replace 5 pounds of hay with hay pellets for a 1,000-pound horse, they will need 15 pounds of hay and 5 pounds of hay pellets to meet their daily forage needs.

💚 Keep your horse healthy and happy with the right amount of forage—no guessing! 🐎

It’s too expensive. Is it really? Would you rather pay hundreds in supplements or other ‘maintenance’ every month or spend less than $200/month for 3 yrs and have a therapy device you can use on multiple horses for the rest of their lives? It just doesn’t make sense to me not to invest in a BEMER. There’s no other device it can be compared to!
