Tokyo—Aug. 2 There’s a special kind of pressure that comes with entering the Olympic Games' eventing show jumping ring last to go. But if Julia Krajewski felt the pressure of sitting in first place, she didn’t let it show. In her round in...

Great info. Thanks for sharing! Love your horse!

Hot summer weather puts horses at risk not only for dehydration and heat stress but, just like humans, the skin damage and discomfort that accompany a sunburn. Equestrians and judges alike love some chrome on a horse, but those white patches and the non-pigmented pink skin underneath are more likely to suffer from sunburn, especially in areas where the skin is more sensitive — like around the eyes and the nostrils.
In horses prone to recurrent sunburn, there are also long-term consequences to consider in addition to the pain and discomfort. One of the most significant of these issues is an increased likelihood of developing squamous cell carcinoma (a common cancer).

If your horse is susceptible to sunburn, contact your veterinarian for more information about sun damage and recommendations to keep your horse protected this summer.

More information about sunburn and photosensitization is available on our website at https://aaep.org/issue/sunburn-photosensitivity

What do you think should be done?

https://www.goodhorseproducts.com/equi-ping-safety-release-dont-let-your-horse-suffer-for-tying-mistakes-or-an-unforeseen-emergency/

People frequently use this growth chart to discuss riding ethicality under a certain age but today I’m going to use it for something different.

Something I have had the displeasure of seeing rampantly online, particularly on Tiktok, is videos depicting young horses pulling back violently whilst tied and having it framed as a learning experience for teaching horses how to learn to tie “politely”. The horses in such videos are hard tied, often in non-breakaway halters. This is incredibly dangerous and hard on their neck if they pull back hard, especially the younger they are. Such a method can cause lasting damage, whether you notice or not, and not just physically but also mentally.

When horses have panic responses that cause them to fight violently in attempts of escape and then miraculously “calm” even when none of the pressure has been evaded, what you’re witnessing is a learned helplessness response. This isn’t training and you don’t need to risk neck injury or cause your horse mass amounts of anxiety to teach them to tie. It is such a stupidly unnecessary risk when you can teach them to tie without the idea of ever pulling back hard coming into their heads by instilling confidence into them. In which case, you can happily use breakaway ties for safety purposes because, after all, you have a flippin’ flight animal that could have a panic response and may run into a scenario where they absolutely should be able to flee if needed (ie: instances of actual danger, not just “spookiness”)

Aside from hard tying for training purposes, even with well trained and experienced horses, you should always consider using breakaway ties or halters when you’re tying them up in the event of accidents. Horses can fall, pull, get a leg over or do a whole number of miraculous things to maim themselves when you least expect it and these are very real concerns when tying horses. I will never tie horses without breakaway halters or by tying to a piece of twine for the sole purpose of safety; I’ve seen way to many avoidable accidents to endorse it even without worrying object damage to young necks.

Accidents are best avoided and tying horses safely is one of the easiest things you can do. If your horse ties as well as you think, using a breakaway tie should not matter because they won’t try to to break it. I’ve seen way too many silly justifications that serve only to put down people who practice tying safety precautions under the guise of them having more poorly trained horses and it’s an utterly illogical statement because horses who tie well should be able to be tied to a string without pulling back to leave. If they’ll run off when not hard tied, perhaps it is time to ask yourself why they want to get away from you so badly.

Your horse is your partner and takes care of you, take care of them and remember that no matter how highly trained, they are a flight animal and always have the potential to have an innate flight response.

Interesting.

New research adds to the strong evidence that the Akhal-Teke, not the Arabian, is the breed of foundation stallions of the modern Thoroughbred.

“Contrary to popular belief, we could detect no significant genomic contribution of the Arabian breed to the Thoroughbred racehorse, including Y chromosome ancestry.”

“Recently... an analysis of horse Y chromosome haplotypes has indicated that the Y haplotype of the “Darley Arabian” actually originated from the Turkoman[/Akhal-Teke] horse, an ancient breed from the Middle East and Central Asia that is... also an “Oriental” type breed.”

“Five of the race-use [Arabian] horses carried the Tb-oB1* haplogroup attributed to the “Byerley Turk” foundation sire of the Thoroughbred breed. Tb-oB1* is found within a variety of breeds and lineages, including the Turkomen[/Akhal-Teke]. Therefore, these five horses may carry Y chromosomes derived from ancestors common to both racing Arabians and the Thoroughbred breed.”

Akhal-Tekes!
