It's been a busy few months! We have relocated to Mondamin, IA! Unfortunately Facebook has made it difficult to change our address. We're excited for this new adventure! Although we will no longer be boarding on a large scale we are entertaining the idea of boarding at our new property on a very small scale! Our biggest adventure has been our egg sales! We'd love to get you on our list - we are consistently in the Omaha area as well!

We have immediate boarding availability for one large group dry lot (4 horse maximum) as well as the opportunity for a trainer to lease half of the barn or individual self care stalls! We also have room for 3 full care stalls! Indoor arena, round pen, viewing area, several tack rooms, heated wash bay, outside ties as well as crossties inside the barn! Even more exciting news - we are breaking ground for the outdoor arena in the coming weeks! It will be ready in time to ride in the perfect fall weather! For more information please message us!

EFFECT OF WALKING OVER GROUND AND RAISED POLES VERSUS NO POLES ON EQUINE LIMB AND BACK KINEMATICS

V. Walker, R. Murray, R. MacKechnie-guire, J. Spear, R. Newton and C. Tranquille

Walking over raised-poles (RP) is often recommended for equine rehabilitation and strengthening, but there is limited information on movement patterns in horses walking over poles. 41 horses (mean age ± SD:9±5 yrs; mean height ± SD:148±12 cm) deemed clinically sound by an orthopaedic specialist, wore 36 hemispherical markers at predetermined sites, and inertial-measurement-units (IMUs) fixed to the poll/withers/tuber coxae (TC)/sacrum. Three lanes were set- up in a waxed-sand-fibre surface arena: (1) no poles (NP); (2) five ground-poles (GP); (3) five RP. Horses walked in-hand four times down each lane at their own comfortable pace; half started with NP and the other half started over RP in randomised order. High-speed-motion-capture (240 Hz) and digital-image-analysis software were used to measure limb joint angles at mid-stance and mid-swing. Spinal kinematics were determined using IMU data. Descriptive statistics, and univariable/multivariable-mixed-effects-linear-regression analyses were performed, with horse included as a random effect term to account within animal repeated measures; a significance value of P≤0.05 was used. A significant increase in joint range-of-motion (increase 0.6-60.8°/joint) and mid-swing flexion of the fetlock, carpus, elbow, shoulder, tarsus, stifle and hip (increase 2-34°/joint) when walking over GP/RP compared to NP. The withers/sacrum/left and right TCs moved significantly more in a mediolateral direction and significantly less in a craniocaudal direction when walking over GP/RP compared to NP (P≤0.0001 for all variables). The changes over GP/RP may be due to stepping up over the poles: increasing limb flexion, increasing lateral bend and inducing rotation/tilting of the pelvis. This information can help direct rehabilitation/training programmes.

We had a GREAT Halloween show/party last Sunday! Every horse did something they had never done before or completed an event or obstacle that they refused to in the past. Im so proud of every single one of you!! Huge shout out to the kids who came out, especially those that don't regularly ride that got the opportunity to share some of our horses! Also to the husband's and significant others that DONT ride that made the Hubby Race a BLAST!!! Here's a photo dump of the show!
