STABLE ENRICHMENT

Horses are herd animals who in their natural habitat would live in a social group and travel many kilometres every day. As winter is now upon us and our horse potentially spending more time stabled and or with limited turnout it is important, we don’t forget about what our horses needs really are. As a recommendation horses should be offered as a minimum what’s known as Brambell’s Five Freedoms these are the following;
Freedom from hunger and thirst
Freedom from disease
Freedom from excessive heat or cold
Freedom of movement
Freedom to act out most normal behaviours.

We may feel we are offering our horses most of these but ask yourself if my horse was in the wild and in his natural habitat am I really fulfilling his needs? In line with a horse ethogram a horse, when they are in the wild, would eat for an average of sixteen hours per day. So, can we really say that we are allowing the horses to meet their basic needs when it comes to natural feeding behaviours when they are stabled?

General rules for enrichment are to provide different things each day, so that the items don’t become just another boring feature of their stable. Variety is the spice of life as they say, and this is the same for your horse! Always Try to mix it up and give your horse different enrichments each day. Don’t forget many enrichment ideas can be used in your horses’ field to especially over winter months when grazing can be in short supply.

LETS TALK ABOUT MUD!!!

With our paddocks getting muddier like myself some of us my have horses prone to mud fever which is no fun. Well look no further as we have created a natural spray which is not only water repellant but contained ingredients that are anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and has anti-fungal properties.

But don’t be fooled our mud fever spray can also be used to help keep feathers and tails cleaner.. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 it’s a winter must have for any grooming box!

WORKING IN DIFFERENT ZONES OF THE HORSE…

Each zone of the horse will influence his movement either forward, backward, left, right, up, or down.

Working from each zone helps your horse develop confidence as well as improving overall safety and control, it helps bring your communication to new heights and cause your horse to have more comfort and enjoyment with you.

Zone 1 - Head, Muzzle & Ears
Zone 2 - Neck, Shoulders & Forelegs
Zone 3 - Barrel & Under belly
Zone 4 - Rump & Hind legs
Zone 5 - Dock & Tail (please remember this is the kick zone so take care and stay safe)
Zone 6 - Hooves & Fetlocks

LIBERTY - no strings attached, just mental and emotional connection between horse and owner ♥️ #naturalhorsemanship #perceptivehorsemanship #equinebehaviourist #exracehorse #lovehim #liberty #nosringsattached #connection

Rio enjoying his ruffle snuffle in the stable on these dark cold wintery nights 🐎🐴 The idea of natural enrichment is to mimic the horse’s natural environment in a domesticated setting. This could include mimicking space, companionship, forage sources, water sources and general environment. Natural enrichment is difficult to fully achieve in an artificial setting due to time and resource constraints and what is realistic when managing the domesticated horse. However, it could be partially achieved by increasing turnout time, allowing social interactions between horses and providing sufficient forage opportunities. The behavioural approach to enrichment was first introduced in 1925 by primatologist Robert Yerkes who suggested that human made devices could help encourage play in primate enclosures. These devices are designed to fulfil the needs to express appetitive behaviour (the searching behaviour) and consummatory (the consuming behaviour). There are many enrichment devices on the equestrian market including licks, foodballs and mirrors. Whilst the devices may look artificial, the behaviour which is expressed can be the same as if it was in natural circumstances. It has been suggested an animal has an inherent need to express appetitive behaviour and their welfare could be compromised if they are unable to. The horse’s internal need to express appetitive behaviour and consummatory foraging behaviour is evident. Providing the horse with sufficient foraging opportunities and enrichment should not be underestimated as the consequences of lack of foraging opportunity can cause frustration, health complications such as gastric ulceration, the development of stereotypical behaviour and can ultimately compromise welfare. This could be achieved by making small changes such as increasing turnout time, providing forage in a more natural way, providing more than one type of forage and giving enrichment devices such as foodballs and licks. #enrichment #horse #st
