"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." (James 1:2-4, NAS) Lord, teach us to endure, in Jesus' name.

Info on colic

Info on colic

Colic is not a disease, but rather a combination of signs that alert us to abdominal pain in the horse. Colic can range from mild to severe, but it should never be ignored, as many of the conditions that cause colic can become life threatening in a relatively short period of time. Only by quickly and accurately recognizing colic โ€“ and seeking qualified veterinary help โ€“ can the chance for recovery be maximized.

Virtually any horse is susceptible to colic, so management practices can play a key role in prevention. And although not every case is avoidable, the guidelines listed in the graphic can help you maximize your horseโ€™s health and reduce the risk of colic.

As always, remember that every animal is different depending on age, breed and other health conditions, so be sure to work with your veterinarian to address any concerns specific to your situation!

Sharing a post that lists some of the unmounted activities you can do with your horse besides riding. There are more. What non riding activities do you enjoy with your horse?

It often surprises people when I initially tell them that I donโ€™t ride my horses. Yet, there are countless enrichment activities to engage with horses outside of the saddle. Here are some of our favorites:

๐Ÿด ๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: Grooming isnโ€™t just about keeping a horseโ€™s coat clean. Itโ€™s an opportunity to bond, check for injuries, and provide a soothing, tactile experience that promotes trust and relaxation.

๐Ÿด ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ ๐—ข๐—ฏ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: Observing horses in a herd can offer valuable insights into their natural behavior and social dynamics.

๐Ÿด ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜‡๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: Desensitization is the act of gradually introducing a horse to new or potentially frightening stimuli to reduce their fear when said stimuli is encountered again in the future. Plastic bags, tarps, umbrellas, pool noodles, and other noisy objects such as a rattling can are common desensitization items.

๐Ÿด ๐—ฅ+ (๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜): R+ is a great way to teach and reinforce behaviors. For example, clicking and offering a treat when a horse follows a target or performs a specific action like lifting their feet can help them associate positive outcomes with desired behaviors, making training sessions more enjoyable and effective for all parties involved.

๐Ÿด ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: Handwalking provides exercise and mental stimulation while strengthening the human-horse bond. Allowing horses to graze during a walk is a simple way to enrich their life and offer a natural behavior simultaneously.

Whatโ€™s your favorite way to interact with horses out of the saddle? This week, we challenge you to try at least one of these non-mounted activities with your herd and tag us!

Key Benefits of Equine Facilitated Activities & Equine Facilitated Therapy for ADHD:*
1. Improved Focus and Attention: Engaging with horses requires individuals to be present and focused. Through specially designed activities, our program helps improve attention spans and concentration & allows for ability to focus for longer periods of time.
2. Emotional Regulation: Interacting with horses can have a calming effect on the nervous system, aiding individuals in managing emotions associated with ADHD, such as impulsivity and frustration.
3. Enhanced Self-Esteem: Accomplishing tasks with a large and powerful animal like a horse fosters a sense of achievement and boosts self-confidence.
4. Developing Social Skills: Horses are highly attuned to non-verbal cues, making them excellent partners for developing social awareness and communication skills including empathy & teamwork, which can be challenging for those with ADHD.
5. Building Responsibility: Caring for and working with horses instills a sense of responsibility, promoting the development of important life skills.
6. Reduced Stress and Anxiety: The calming and grounding nature of working with horses can help alleviate stress and anxiety, common co-existing conditions with ADHD.
7. Development of Healthy Coping Mechanisms: sessions provide opportunities to learn and practice healthy coping mechanisms for managing ADHD symptoms and everyday challenges.
8. Improved Physical Health: Spending time outdoors and interacting with horses can lead to increased physical activity and improved overall well-being.
Horseback riding can be therapeutic
โ€ข Both therapeutic and recreational horseback riding are recommended for individuals with ADHD. This is because horses respond to both spoken and non-spoken communication through the use of reins and the riderโ€™s legs to direct them. Taking part in this system of communication may provide some of the therapeutic benefits of working with a horse.
โ€ข โ€œThe rhythmic stride of the horse is calming, and after a while, the horse and rider kind of blend into oneโ€”they work together, almost as if they were one organism,โ€ says Dr. Arnold.
โ€ข Many of the common goals of ADHD therapyโ€”increased focus and organization, as well as improvements in executive functioningโ€”can be met by riding and caring for a horse. That means participation not only in regular feeding and grooming, but in saddling the horse for riding. For the rider it includes concentrating on his posture and foot and hand placement, as well as a sense of being in control of the horse.
โ€ข โ€œYou need to check on all these things before you start,โ€ explains Dr. Klee. โ€œSo itโ€™s not just the organization of getting the animal ready, itโ€™s really the organization of what do you have to do before you even start to move.โ€

Sharing info on Cushings disease vs metabolic syndrome in horses.

With each passing year, horses are living longer lives and many survive easily to 25 years of age or older. While this is good news, it also means that we need to be aware of changes that can occur with age in order to preserve the health and quality of life of our equine friends.

For example, Equine Cushingโ€™s disease is one of the most common diseases of horses 15 years of age or older. This syndrome is better defined as Equine Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) because it reflects the location within the brain that is abnormal. Clinical signs are associated with abnormally elevated hormone concentrations in the blood.

Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) is another endocrine disorder that can affect mature horses and shares some of the same clinical signs as PPID. Although the two disorders feature some striking clinical similarities โ€” most notably a predisposition to development of chronic laminitis โ€” the underlying disease biology is quite different in each case. Successful management relies on proper diagnosis by your equine veterinarian first.

Our understanding of both conditions, especially EMS, is incomplete and evolving, but sufficient information is currently available to highlight some important similarities and differences for the interested horse owner. Consult your veterinarian for more information and work with them to develop the best wellness practices to ensure a healthy life for your mature horse.

When to seek same day care from the vet.

There is no doubt about it, equine emergencies are stressful! However, not every equine medical issue requires a veterinarianโ€™s immediate attention.

Check out this veterinarian-recommended guide from the American Association of Equine Practitioners to get a better idea of what constitutes an urgent and same-day emergency.

Remember, if you are unsure if something constitutes an emergency, call and consult your veterinarian to determine the best course of action. We are always here for you.
