Ideas for Happy Horsekeeping

Since our horses are often a reflection of the environment we create for them, the Stall and Stable podcast covers ideas, strategies, and products that help us create the best home we can.

"The honor of the people lies in the moccasin tracks of the woman.
Walk the good road....
Be dutiful, respectful, gentle, and modest my daughter...
Be strong with the warm, strong heart of the earth.
No people goes down until their women are weak and dishonored, or dead upon the ground.
Be strong and sing the strength of the Great Powers within you, all around you."
-- Village Wise Man, SIOUX

Horses cannot and should not live alone.

What you may perceive as a horse being “fine” without a companion, is actually a perception based on human needs, not equine needs.

Horses are herd animals. This means they are biologically and emotionally designed to live in groups. This serves a number of survival reasons, but safety is probably the most important. Without even one single companion, the solitary horse suffers from chronic stress because he has no one to help keep watch for danger. This is especially true for elder horses and those who are physically compromised.

Here’s the kicker. Horses that show weakness in body are more likely to become the victim of a predator, so evolution has made the horse very stoic. It has allowed them to stand, graze, eat, and survive, all without showing clear signs that they are in distress.

But if you know what to look for, and if you know what horses need from a horse’s perspective, you will know that leaving a horse to live alone is an unnecessary cruelty.

So, before you look at your horse and think, “He’s doing fine,” ask yourself by what standards is he doing “fine”, yours or his?

The welfare of any animal must be determined not by what makes humans comfortable, but by the biological and emotional needs of the species your animal belongs to.

Can you believe that there are STILL people in KY and TN who want to delay the banning of soring Tennessee Walking Horses?

And what's up with anyone being okay chaining those weights to an animal's legs? This is 2024... I mean, really?!

Speak up. Share the injustice. Talk to your friends with TWHs (they are such wonderful horses... they don't deserve to be so grotesquely paraded around), tell them not to support the Celebration. Please.

-----

"In April 2024, the USDA finalized a long-awaited rule to eliminate the failed system of industry self-policing and the use of devices integral to soring. However, the management of the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration has filed a federal lawsuit to block the rule’s implementation.

The management of the Celebration claims in its lawsuit that soring is no longer an issue in the industry. However, the HSUS has released a report and video from an undercover investigation at Formac Stables, operated by prominent Tennessee walking horse trainer and four-time World Grand Champion winner Jimmy McConnell, that contradict this claim. The HSUS has also filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit, to help defend the USDA rule.

Until recently, McConnell, one of the most decorated trainers in the world of Tennessee walking horses, has evaded accountability, despite numerous alleged violations of the Horse Protection Act. His brother, Jackie McConnell, was famously convicted following a 2011 HSUS undercover soring investigation exposing shocking abuses."

Unless someone can explain to me how betting on 3-day events will benefit the horses or the riders, I have to take issue with this decision. And unless the winning gamblers are betting on which horses come out of this event the most sound, healthy, and relaxed, I'mma take a hard pass.

And just when I was planning my trip to Maryland. Bummer.

Sport & Entertainment Corporation of Maryland today announced a groundbreaking partnership with Crab Sports, a startup sportsbook tailored exclusively for the Maryland market, to offer exclusive sports betting markets for the MARS Maryland 5 Star

Our barn is still under construction 🚧. Things have been a bit sloooow over here. But the tack room is insulated, so Yay!, no more moldy saddles. 👍

Brody gets the “Triple Crown Special” to help him stay cool and hydrated on this very hot day. 😎

Teaching Clarabelle to “station” by adding duration to the “touch the target” behavior. This will eventually become a part of her feed routine, and should help extinguish resource guarding behaviors/ food aggression. It also makes feeding a lot easier for me!

EP 135: EQUINE NUTRITION IN DEPTH, with Clair Thunes, Ph.D. In this second episode of our new Triple Crown Nutrition Series, Helena is joined by Dr. Clair Thunes, a Ph.D. and #equine nutrition expert, to answer questions submitted by our listeners. Deciding what to feed our horses can be daunting. Some #horse owners rely on their trainers for guidance, others rely on the barn manager, or even random tidbits from the Internet. Thankfully, there are people and companies for whom equine nutrition is a speciality. In this episode we discuss feed bag labels and how to interpret them, which supplements are necessary in winter, why salt is important, and more. LISTEN IN! This episode is brought to you by our friends at @americanstalls and @triplecrownfeed.

Soft accomplishments… Listen to episode 134 of the Stall and Stable podcast, with @tikmaynardcompany

Every time I fill the trough. Every. Time. 🤣

H2Go is still kickin'!

This nifty gadget is called the H2Go, and it is designed to carry water from your source, via wheelbarrow, to your paddocks (or garden). I've had mine for about 10 years, and it has come in handy more than a few times. You definitely need the thin, rubber mat that goes under it. The mat (which comes with the H2Go bag) keeps the bag from sliding out of your wheelbarrow when you tip it forward to pour. I first discovered this when I worked at Tack of the Day. As I was writing the advertising copy for it, I kept thinking what a neat product it was. So I bought one for my own farm and have kept it ever since. #barnhacks #waterer #waterbucket #h2go #happyhorsekeeping

Step 2 of our stationing process included an increase in the *criteria*. The criteria is like the degree of difficulty. The criteria today increased from simply touching the target, to touching it fully and intentionally with her nose. She did that like a champ! 🥰 If you are paying close attention, you may notice the beginnings of Step 3. Any idea what that is? We did three attempts today over a total of 8 minutes, then called it good for the day. Tomorrow I will do this again. If all goes well, I will try to increase the duration of the behavior. If she can hold her nose on the target for a second or two, that will be success. Stay tuned!

The beginnings of “stationing” at a target in order to help my young mare mellow out at feed time. She’s a bit food intense (not exactly a aggressive), and not so coordinated with her excited self, so teaching her to station at feed time can make everyone happy and safe! #R+ #positivereinforcement #clickertraining #horsetraining #horsebehavior

Even "backyarders" need a safe space to ride, train, and assess soundness. But, how to get it right? Check out episode 121 featuring Precision Equestrian Arenas founder, Dickie Osborne to get the scoop. And, if you're the kind who likes a little drama, there's always episode 78, "The Arena Project from Hell"! 🤪 https://stallandstable.com/ep-121-the-right-way-to-build-a-riding-arena/ https://stallandstable.com/ep-78-the-arena-project-from-hell/
