"Healthy as a horse" implies that horses have a good resistance to many diseases. But being athletic in nature they are trained for long hours and made to run long distances. Such activity schedules and accidents can lead to joint inflammation and degeneration of cartilage, a condition termed as osteoarthritis. Cartilage can be broken to an extent where bones rub each other causing severe pain to the horses. Generally horses over the age of 15 are more prone to arthritis as the cartilage begins to wear out faster than it is produced at that age. These horses also suffer from weakened tendons and ligaments that become more elastic and results in instability. To treat arthritis in horses,[..]
Millions of Wild Mustang Horses For $125!
Once upon a time there were millions of wild mustang horses roaming the Western plains. Today there are fewer than 50,000 wild horses roaming. Despite government regulations designed to protect them, due to limited resources, their numbers continue to decline. In 1971 the Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act was passed by Congress to preserve wild mustangs, but it has had little effect. Despite the fact that these horses have survived through hundreds of years of harsh winter, having a very high birth rate, and few natural predators, their numbers continue to decline. Unfortunately, the numbers grew too fast for the land to support them. There is only so much government land to[..]
Unfortunately not every horse owner has the luxury of allowing their horses the benefit of unlimited pasture or turnout time. Horses kept in stalls most of the day can sometime develop a vice such as weaving. When a horse weaves he or she is standing in place but weaves its head and neck back and forth as it rocks from side to side. This can cause stress on the horse's legs and may cause lameness to occur. Sometime horses that weave can lose weight or become physically exhausted caused by their weaving. The horses do not have a problem but are responding to a problem instead. Behaviors such as weaving are usually only seen in horses where there environments are bare with no access to[..]

Horse Riding As Therapy For Back Pain
Horse Riding Therapy Horse riding is a great sport for just fun. It is also a great sport for therapy as a fitness tool, as well as therapy for muscle and pain management. As a Physiotherapist I treat many people who have been told not to ride every again. I'm not sure in many case why the Drs. Give this advice but for many after a proper assessment I do recommend (for many) riding as therapy. Riding is a safe sport and very good for the posture if it is respected and not taken for granted. Horse riding can be very dangerous and I certainly don't recommend it as therapy for those who have never ridden. I do however know the benefits of riding for back pain, for shoulder pain and for[..]

Horse Riding Exercises - Riding the Trot
To sit the trot is THE most difficult pace to ride on a horse and still maintain the rhythm and your dignity. When I started riding many years ago and for such a long time, I would bounce in the saddle, flop around and have a tendency to lean forward trying to keep my balance. I had to concentrate so much just to keep my seat in the saddle. I was not confident in myself as a rider. But I would practice and practice and did not improve much. So many riders have this same tendency to not stay upright through the trot and canter. I would look down at what I was doing instead of looking forward to where I was going. Little did I know that if I kept my head up, I would not slouch over which[..]

Shoeing horses is very arduous strenuous work and as a result it may very well be "Joy" is the last thing you might be feeling while shoeing.

Responsibility to keep my clients horses free from lameness. In fact my reputation depends on it. Fortunately from the beginning of my career I discovered a method of shoeing not taught me in the school I attended or in any textbooks I've ever read which has produced for me a 16 year 100% track record- Not[..]
If laying horses is good for the bookmakers to make millions in profits every year why can you not do it as well? Every year the bookmakers post huge profits at the expense of normal gamblers. Even with this we continue to think that although most people lose it could be us who is the one of the lucky few who manage to take a profit from the bookmaker. Bookmakers make the most money when a favourite loses. This is because the favourite has the most money on it and therefore when it fails to come in the bookmaker will have taken lots of losing wagers. This thing is the favourite wins a lot less than you would imagine. In fact in an 8 horse race the favourite will only win 33 percent of[..]
Laying Horses For a Living
If you want to lay horses for a living then you need to adopt a professional approach to picking out "false favourites," or horses which are unjustified in their position as the favourite for a particular race.

While a horse's form does count in its favour to some extent, it is not the be all and end all. Take a look at today's racecard and pick out the short-priced bookmakers favourites for each race of odds under 4/1. In this article we will attempt to identify some factors which suggest the horse is in fact a "false favourite" and a[..]

Horse Training - A Lesson on How to Get Your...
Being a horse owner, you definitely want a supple horse. This means your horse bends and flexes without resistance while he does his job. Your horse becomes more and more supple as he learns to give laterally (sideways), his neck and head, and his forequarters and hindquarters. You must remember you have to teach these one at a time. You will break it down into small doses so he knows what you want and can later put them all together. When teaching him to flex laterally, you'll want to make sure he responds to pressure of going forward and backward because horses will sometimes react to lateral pressure by moving forward or back.

Horse owners should understand an important element about their horse that will make training them easier and more successful. We are talking about your horse's brain. Your horse's brain has two halves that are not connected. You've probably heard trainers say, "be sure to do both sides of the horse".

In other words, if you get him used to a plastic sack on his left side then you have to do it on his right side. Why? Because his left brain side does not communicate with his right side brain since they are not connected. Think of this. Your equine has an eye on[..]

Horses are trained in a significant manner that might not be exact to how other animals are trained. The reaction time or the response from an action is very important. Therefore, teaching a horse may take very little time depending on how prompt the trainer is, or might take a long time if the trainer does not understand the method of teaching the animal. Prompt Reaction Horses only understand the concept of cause and effect. However, the time lag between the cause and its effect must not be too short. Otherwise, the horse cannot correlate one with the other. Therefore, if the horse rings a bell one day to find that the trainer has arrived with his meal, then he will relate the ringing[..]

Equine Massage For Releasing Scar Tissue
Scar tissue can restrict movement in adjacent joints, eventually creating injury to the joint itself. This type of restrictive tissue can become stronger and as non-elastic as connective tissue like tendons and cartilage.

Horseback Riding - How to Canter Or Lope
The canter is widely regarded as being the most difficult pace for a horse to perform correctly. Before attempting to canter it is strongly advised that one has already mastered walking and trotting, and for the slower paces a smooth control needs to be maintained. When one learns how to canter well whilst practicing a relaxed posture in the saddle and moving in sync with the slightly rocking motion, the exercise of cantering is a comfortable one. The main challenge is for one to learn how to adjust to the fast three-time beat bounding pace where each stride is followed by a period of suspension when all four feet are in the air at once. The following steps are a useful guide when[..]
