I have noticed them needing more snacks🦄

Did you know that a horse with a moderate hair coat starts requiring additional calories for body temperature regulation when the outside temperature drops to approximately 50°F?

As the temperatures start to drop, especially overnight, it's important to remember that cold weather prompts special considerations for your horse's diet and care. This is particularly important when it comes to the older members of the herd; consult your primary horse doctor to formulate a plan to keep your horses happy and healthy this fall and winter!

Kissing spine is a condition where one or more of a horse’s vertebrae are close together and touch, or “kiss.” As imaging technology has improved, so have veterinarians’ ability to diagnose things like kissing spine. For some horses, it’s a devastating diagnosis. But for a whole heck of a lot, it is merely a point of interest, based on where it is, how bad it is, and how much it bothers the horse. And the best way to support a horse with it is to make them engage their abdomen and add topline. Riding a horse properly on the bit is physical therapy, and helps pull the vertebrae back apart. After a kissing spine diagnosis, watch your saddle fit, use a good veterinarian, and take a deeeeeeep breath. There’s a whole lot of funky x-rays at the Olympic Games 🩻

We all have the ability and duty to be an advocate for horse welfare in many big and small ways everyday 🐎

Charlotte Dujardin. Cesar Parra. Andreas Helgstrand. Blue tongues and hyperflexion. The dressage world has been hit by a series of controversies and scandals that have caused concern far beyond the confines of the horse community, leading riders and the general public alike to question just how high...
