Proper hoof care is essential for a sound and happy horse, so it goes without saying that a skilled farrier is both a necessity and a tremendous asset.

Don't forget to give a shoutout to your farriers this week and show them your appreciation for their dedication to their craft!

Imagine you are riding him on a balance beam. You need to keep him between your leg, seat and hand to keep him centered on the beam.

Operant conditioning, along with classical conditioning is part of the broad category of learning known as associative learning.

In horse training, associative learning is the major learning category that enables us to train horses to do anything that aligns with their behavioural repertoire and their biomechanics.

Operant conditioning is the most significant aspect of associative learning.

Operant conditioning relies on certain evolved tendencies of the horse's brain (telos) such as motivation and reinforcement and includes two forms of reinforcement and two forms of punishment.

These four elements are commonly known as quadrants, which are illustrated in the image below.

B.F. Skinner was very influential in the development of operant conditioning and wrote hundreds of papers on the characteristics of operant conditioning with regard to animal learning and the education of children.

He argued that internal needs and drives of individuals can be ignored because animals (and people) are more controlled by the
consequences of their behaviour.

This school of thought has been termed behaviourism, although nowadays this view is seen as radical behaviourism' because it is now recognised that many other elements such as arousal, affective state and attachment are highly influential in the outcomes of operant conditioning.

**Note: whilst negative and positive punishment are not uncommon practices in the horse industry, equestrians should consider the ethicality of such practices and learn about more effective and ethical approaches to training.

This excerpt is from the book Modern Horse Training: Equitation Science Principles & Practice, Volume 1 by Andrew Mclean which is available for purchase on our website.

Meet Cruz -
My American Warmblood. Nine years old, Hunter-Jumper that competes in Domestic and International Derbies.
Cruz has struggled with chronic diarrhea for months until I came across this product. I had previously tried gastro guard, bio sponge, sucralfate, and gut x .....but nothing was able to solve the problem.
After 2 days on VF-Advanced BioEZ® his diarrhea was gone. 30 days later he is still in the clear and has started to put on more weight and has a happier overall demeanor.
I am thrilled with the results I have seen in such a short amount of time and will continue to have this as a staple item in my horses diet!
VF-Advanced BioEZ® has been the only product able to fix my horses gut !
I've sent some before and after. Still some unfortunate minor staining due to his coloring.
Thank you so very much.

I LOVE Advanced BioEZ®-VF !
My mare that is always kind of iffy with her tummy, is totally different on the VF-Advanced.
She is N/PSSM1 and can get ulcer like symptoms ... but doesn’t have ulcers and BioEZ®-VF Advanced took all of that away.
She's not had any stomach issues since starting her on it!
Thanks BioEZ®

I love this product: BioEZ®

I started using it as a freebee during the covid, and saw such a positive reaction of my then 25 year old mare, Cindi, who kept losing weight no matter how much she ate. She drug her toes and only trudged about, plus she was very gassy.

Within 2 weeks of starting BioEZ®:
• You could see the weight she was gaining
• Her head was up, ears perked, and vocal again
• She was not only running with my herd of 4 … she was showing the sky her heels !

Kept her on the BioEZ® a year, and she was able to maintain her weight and vigor for 18 months before she started to decline, as now she is 27.
I put her back on BioEZ® 6 weeks ago...and she quickly returned to her bouncy pushy mare self. lol. ….the gassy girl is gone.

So, now I put the rest of my horses on BioEZ®. They are all a tad over conditioned even though they only get hay in the Winter and wild native grasses in the Summer. I had to put muzzles on two, due to them getting to chunky in the Summer of '22. Usually they lose these extra pounds over Winter but did not lose enough this year.

Put them on only a quart of senior feed, timothy/orchardgrass hay and the BioEZ®....After 2 weeks on BioEZ®:
• Hay bellies are noticeably smaller
• Eyes bright and alert
• They talk to me all the time now

> 16 yo gelding started running without being prompted 48 hours after first dose with bursts of energy that sent him bouncing about like he did at age 7. By late spring, his hay belly is 75% reduced. Noticed today he is dappling out. He is a very light Palomino, Ky Mt Horse.

> 18 yo Rocky Mt Mare with cellulite looking places on her hips has lost all of her rolls and has a trim figure all over. She showed improvement in about 5 days.

> 12 yo Ky Mt mare was chunky all over....she wore a grazing muzzle most of last Summer and improved but by the time the grass was gone and only food was hay. She held every lb. … all Winter. Fearful she could develop laminitis or other ailments that go along with obesity. Took her the longest to begin to show improvement by beginning to lose the extra weight, a full 2 weeks on the BioEZ®. Now she is beginning to zip about in the pasture and her legs appear to be getting a bit longer too . She is the heaviest one.

To say I am pleased with this product is an understatement....Will be doing Spring de-worming, and can’t wait to see the combined results !

Thank you Giddyap/BioEZ® for giving my horses that free sample... it has started them all on a healthier life.

I'm not a sales person for this product but I sure could be .... because I believe the results my eyes are seeing.
I encourage anyone who has a horse to give BioEZ® a try !

When the temperatures drop, make sure your horses always have access to water and that they are drinking enough.

01/01/2024

On average horses drink 7-10 gallons of water a day and this remains as important in cold weather as it is in the summer because reduced water intake can lead to gastrointestinal problems such as the dreaded impaction colic.

Studies demonstrate that horses will drink more if provided access to heated water and that most water consumption happens within three hours of feeding. How can you use this information to your advantage? Refill buckets at feed time with warm water to maximize your horse’s water intake—especially in the winter when water is more likely to be freezing or close to freezing.

As always, if you have any questions or would like to learn more about preventing colic in your horse, your equine veterinarian remains your best source of information!

This is my Dutch Warmblood’s Sir Lion’s 30th birthday celebration photos from last week!
I can’t thank you all enough for producing the best premium horse treats that have encouraged his daily drinking of 6 gallons of warm and Fruit Punch Gatorade water from me every day for the last 7 years!
He had colic’d due to dehydration several times and we had to find a way to make him a better water drinker! Through patience and perseverance and your Giddyap Girls Premium Horse Treats (which he loves any time) he is thriving at 30!
Sir Lion (the Lion King) and I thank you so very much !

Meet Jet -
An American Paint Horse Gelding of 21 y/o. Jet suffers with FWS and skin issues and dull coat. Owner requested a sample of our Advanced BioEZ®-VF Digestive Optimizer. ( shown to solve FWS )
Two Scoops per day, showed decreased severity thru inconsistent flows, and dry on days 5/6. Over the next 14 days using Advanced BioEZ-VF Jet had some spotty flows and also dry days.
Upon completion of the sample.... we transitioned Jet to Original BioEZ® at 2 scoops a day with continued success !
So far this product has cleared up his FWS faster than any other product I’ve used and I’m hopeful with continued use it will keep it away or help heal his gut naturally. Thank you for the free trials!
Here is the starting photo of the trial….. ( his coat looks really good too )
