Equine Feeding on the Competition Yard
Finer details of feeding need to be considered once the work load intensifies. In order to sustain the maximum performance levels, it becomes more necessary to consider the losses that the horse is subject to due to the increase in workload. As stated previous it is still necessary to determine the goals that you wish to achieve from your feeding programme and aim to ensure the horses requirements are met as efficiently as possible. Up to 75% of an adult horse's body mass is water. If this is jeopardised it can pose a serious threat to the performance of the horse and a drop of just 2% can reduce performance, (Marlin and Nankervis 2002.) Water is lost at an increased rate in horses due[..]
Find the Benefits For Horses - Using...
Everyone knows how important stretching, using different muscle groups as well as constantly working on increasing and maintaining flexibility is for humans. Not surprisingly it is equally if not more important for horses, regardless of the type of work that they will be required to do. Sport or jumping horses and those that are competitively ridden need to work on flexibility and muscle development just the same as pleasure horses that are used for the occasional weekend event or ride. The great news is that working any type of horse through a gymnastics routine will increase the horse's control, energy levels and flexibility. It will also help the rider focus on the horse's position[..]
Western Pleasure classes are included in most breed and open circuit horse shows. Horse owners looking for ways to have more fun with their horses often pick the pleasure class as the first attempt in their new show career. Because the class routine itself is not very complicated new exhibitors are frequently confused and disappointed by their lack of early success. Here are the basics of Western Pleasure competition and the qualities the judge looks for in a winner. Western Pleasure Is Not As Simple As Many Think Horsemanship is similar to other sports like dancing and gymnastics. Unless you have dedicated a considerable amount of time and study to them, you won't have a clue about how[..]
Horse Training: How To Stop A Horse From...
Running away, like all other habits, is caused by improper and careless handling. It only takes three or four experiences of this kind to make a horse unsafe to drive, ride or work. The driver is never sure whether he will get back with the whole rig or not. This is not the only bad feature of having a runaway horse, for the driver never knows when he will be thrown out, in making a quick turn, or running over some sort of an obstruction and either badly shaken up, or, possibly crippled for life. I would rather risk my life behind a kicker or shyer any day, than behind a runaway before he has been properly subdued and with no means of control except the lines. A great many runaway horses[..]
Basic Horse Training Tips
Horse training is referred to the various techniques that are used to teach horses to accomplish some specific actions. There are various types of training modules that can be used to train horses and some specific types of horse training techniques to make a horse expert in different areas, like transport, sporting racing or other therapeutic works, for example, carrying physically disabled people. Presently most horses are trained in entertainment and sporting activity. Besides, there are some horse training modules in the fields like crowd control, film work etc. But, the basic goal of horse training is to make a horse expert enough to perform some essential works as required. Horses[..]
If you watch horses in the herd, I mean "really" watch them, you'll see how good they are at watching body language. And not just body language, but subtleties you and I would easily miss. Nearly every time I feed two of my horses, the alpha horse always pins his ears as the other approaches. The other horse instantly sees it and backs away. Pinning the ears is all it took. And if you didn't see the ears pinned, you wouldn't have known what was going on. If you want to be good at controlling your equine then you must practice controlling your body language. Now when you want your horse to move forward, back, or sideways from you then use your body language to help you. Stand erect. Your[..]
"> Reining horse training is of extreme importance whenever a competition is around. It basically requires horses that are in tune and responsive with their riders. It also depends on the ridersâ abilities to develop relationships with their horses. Normally, there are particular breeds that are selected to participate in competitions because of their capabilities. And sliding stop is one of the primary maneuvers that a reining horse in training needs to practice. There are also several things that a trainer should become aware of when training his horse, if he wants to become successful. For instance, the posture of a rider and how he works the reins could affect his horse when it[..]
If you're into horse riding, whether for recreation or serious sports, among the most important accessories you can't fail to have are horse riding helmets. The headgear is highly-recommended not just for recreational horse riders, but also for professionals when participating in events, such as horse racing and show jumping. Helmets that are specifically designed for horse riding are widely available in the market. Purchasing a used one is oftentimes not a good idea since most of them have damages in their inner linings. Damage to such area means not enough head protection. Purchasing a new one, on the other hand, guarantees better protection and comfort. There are thousands of brand[..]
Horse Training - What Your Horse Must Know...
Opinions differ from various equine trainers on when to get on a horse and start riding him from when he first gets green broke. Since I'm purposely addressing horse owners who don't have the experience a trainer has, then I want to explain what your horse should be good at for you to have a fairly good degree of safety. The first thing your equine must know is that it's okay he has someone on his back. As obvious as this sounds, there are horse owners that have horses that aren't sure about it. The second thing is your equine must know what "whoa" means. Again, this is obvious but lots of horse owners ride horses that don't stop when asked. A equine MUST stop the absolute second you[..]
Five Horse Training Tips
Working with horses can often be difficult and even scary, as horses engage in bad horse behaviors that not only make them annoying but make them unsafe. These behaviors can include biting, kicking, being pushy on the ground, or worse bucking and rearing. The best way to minimize the chance your horse will be pushy like this is to lay a solid foundation that puts you in a leadership position with the horse. Here are five horse training tips to help you achieve this. 1. Have a good lead A horse that respects you leads well. This means that the horse follows you at a short distance just off your shoulder. Most people lead from the left side of the horse, so he should be just to the right[..]
Young Horse Training Methods
Foals are in contact with humans from almost the very moment they were born. Successful early handling of your foal can make training them much easier and the training progress even faster. Here are some horse training methods for a young foal: 1. Try not to handle the foal in the first one or two days of life, unless it is necessary, such as clearing of the mucous membranes at birth, or dipping the navel in iodine. 2. Starting from the second day, begin by placing one arm around the foal's rump, and another around its neck. Hold the foal gently, without pressure, unless it tries to move. Ideally, this should be done inside the stable, with the dam right next to the foal. Try to do this[..]
Horse Training Tips: How to Prevent Biting
It is normal for horses to bite each other. They do it while at play, while grooming each other, or when they are fighting. The thing your horse needs to know is that it is not okay to bite people! Horses are herd animals. What you need to do is establish that you are the “lead mare”, who sets the rules in the herd. The basic horse training tip here is that you set the rules when it comes to biting, and the rule is simple: NO BITING! 1. If you are raising a foal, it’s best to establish no nibbling or nuzzling from the start. Nuzzling and nibbling lead to biting, and although it’s adorable in a foal who is toothless, it could turn into a bad habit. Discourage them by giving your[..]
Each horse, just like each person, is a unique individual. A horse will have its own personality and learning ability, different from that of another horse. With that in mind, here are some fundamental horse training tips to remember: 1. A relationship between a horse and its owner or trainer is based on good communication and trust. Such a relationship takes time, effort and patience to build. 2. Horses learn by repetition. You cannot expect your horse to learn a new skill in one training session. It is best to start each training session with a review of the previous sessions. This reinforces the learning process. 3. Do not make lessons stressful. Shouting and whipping are not[..]
How To Dress For Safer Horseback Riding
Not everyone feels safe walking right up to a horse for the first time and sometimes they can be intimidating, especially if you are not accustomed to handling them. Horses vary in sizes and temperament, according to breed, age, training and their social environment. With all of these factors, it may take some time before you have found that beloved horse that you are comfortable with. Be patient and observant before you decide that it is safe to let down your guard. Horses will pick up on your confidence level and will relate to you based on their intuitive judgment of your abilities. Children are vulnerable when they are not experienced and should always be offered the safest[..]
The Many Wonderful Varieties of Horse Breeds
It has been known that horses ran wild for thousands of years before mankind discovered them. The first domesticated horses go back to Asia during about 3000 to 4000 B.C. Of course, at this time they were used for meat, and it was not until later that they were used as work animals that could pull people and cargo. There are many different horse breeds, and most come from different areas of the world. These breeds have adapted and changed over time. There are approximately 500 different horse breeds worldwide. Generally speaking, in order to be classified in this list, the horse must be 14.2 hands tall or more. Anything smaller or shorter is considered to be a pony breed. Believe it or[..]
It can be both difficult and scary to work with horses at certain times since they can occasionally have bad behaviors that make them either annoying or unsafe to be around. Some bad behaviors can include biting, kicking, pushing, bucking or rearing. In order to reduce the likelihood of these bad behaviors you need to develop a solid foundation to establish your leadership over the horse. Consider some helpful horse training tips that can help you overcome bad horse behaviors. Have a Good Lead A horse can only lead well if they respect you. A well-led horse will follow you from just a short distance at the shoulder. It is best to lead a horse from the left so the horse is just to your[..]

Getting clarity and focus on your outcomes during the initial assessment and planning stage of your training program will pay dividends.

Picture this. You're late for work one day. You look at your watch and notice you have about three minutes to feed your horse before you have to leave. Plus, it seems to worsen every day. You notice your life getting busier and you have little time, if any, to spend with your horse. Should you sell him? Should you keep him? What do you do. It depends. If you only want a pet that eats a lot of hay, then you can keep him if it is affordable. If you want to ride him but you know you won't have time then consider selling him. (Ouch!) However, if you know you will eventually have time to ride then you can keep your horse "tuned up" by doing some "quick and easy to do" horse training[..]
-- End Ad Box ---> There's an old horse training saying. It says "your horse should have the feel." Basically, that means if you're leading your horse with the lead rope, does he follow you with virtually no tugging on that lead rope? As part of the breaking process a horse is taught to lead. That's a natural part of how to train a horse when you're a horse trainer.when he does, the goal is to have him step in sync (and stop) with you. When you step, the lead rope has almost no "pull" on it. That's the goal (in leading, anyway). When your horse "feels" that pressure from the lead rope, he should move. Thus, he has the feel. If you've ever seen someone leading their horse and they're[..]
Horse Training: Teach Your Horse To Use His...
-- End Ad Box ---> Wanna help your horse develop and use his hindquarters more? Ride him up and down steep hills. Before you do though, I suggest you have control over him. Thus, when you ask him to stop, he knows to stop. And be sure to do it in places where you feel safest. Don't be around a bunch of wire fencing, posts, holes, etc. Now as you go up the hill, pick a point you want to go to. Walk slowly, straight, and don't let him get chargey. You don't want a horse to charge up hill or down because it's a great way for you to get hurt. Remember, a horse thinks much more clearly when he's walking. And is far less to get excited when going about his work calmly. On the other[..]
Appaloosa (2008) Review
I went to the LA premiere of "Appaloosa" tonight. Before the screening an executive described the film to the audience as Ed Harris's vision and introduced Harris as the most obsessive filmmaker he has ever worked with. Thus, I thought Ed Harris was just being humble in telling the crowd, "we made the film for you to enjoy, so enjoy it." The film is somewhat enjoyable. The scenery, sets and costumes are beautiful, the gunplay is fun and the dialogue is funny and even witty at times. Maybe this is what drew such great actors to do the movie. Problem is that when I see Viggo Mortensen character in the movie, I think he would have been a great Doc Holliday. Both the characters and plot feel[..]
Understanding Equine Digestion
Since its first domestication (about 5000bc), the horse has been used for many purposes; initially for meat, then for transport and for use in battle, leading us to its modern use, for pleasure. The horse is suited to a high fiber diet due to the continual microbial fermentation within its caecum and colon. It is its domestication that leads the horse to use and therefore need more energy than can be provided by their usual high fiber natural diet of grass. It is these requirements that have lead to the inclusion of grains and supplements to the horse's diet. In many ways, this being possible has lead to a lot of benefits, but it also has the potential to result in many problems. Feeding[..]

Conquer Horseback Riding Fears by Changing the...
One of the biggest mistakes riders make when we're trying to overcome horseback riding fears is that we direct our efforts toward the conscious mind. You know--willpower, iron-jawed determination. The problem with that strategy is that you can only make short-term, temporary changes when you direct your efforts to your conscious mind. To make permanent changes, direct your efforts to the part of your brain that truly determines your actions--your subconscious mind. You see, your subconscious mind believes everything you say and imagine, sees it as the goal and tries to make it come true. It's just waiting for your instructions. So, like a guided missile, it'll keep you on the course[..]

It is used by riders to direct the pony when pony riding. Snaffle bits, curb bits and pelham bits are examples of bit used on horses.

The middle part of the snaffle bit is called the bit mouthpiece, which goes in the mouth across the gums. The bit mouthpiece is either a straightforward straight bar or a linked set of straight bars.

According to Advertising Age Mad Men has all of the fashion world buzzing, "The 1960s-era AMC series is causing a stir in the fashion world this fall, with designers citing it as their muse and retailers stocking their shelves accordingly.

Is the Pick Six a Good Bet For Long Range...
Gadget bets like the pick six have been around for a long time and show no signs of fading in popularity. Did you ever ask yourself if real professional handicappers play the pick 6? Do you think it is possible to make a profit playing the pick six? I am going to be honest and tell you straight up that I am not ahead playing the pick six. I will admit that I've taken a stab at it on a few occasions, but I did it for a lark and lost money on the wager. For me, thoroughbred handicapping profits are hard enough to come by with win bets and the occasional quinella or exacta. I just can't seem to win those big exotics, though the pools are certainly enticing. I think the best way to look at[..]
A lot has been written over the years about speed and class in horse racing and how some people feel they are the same thing while other people think they are not. The argument that they are the same is bolstered by the fact that most track speed records are set by very classy horses in stakes races and low budget platers seldom make the record books. On the other hand, people point to examples of horses who had very big speed figures who fell apart when moved up to classy races as the argument that class is an intangible characteristic that some have and some don't. I have seen some horses with big speed figures move up into stakes class and fall apart or ship into a better track where[..]
Shoulder-in is the father of the advanced lateral dressage movements. It does many wonderful things for your horse. Here are just some of them: 1. Shoulder-in is a suppling exercise because it stretches and loosens the muscles and ligaments of the inside shoulder and forearm. During shoulder-in, your horse passes his inside foreleg in front of his outside foreleg. This motion increases his ability to move his forearm gymnastically in other movements. 2. It's also a straightening exercise because you should always straighten your horse by bringing his forehand in front of his hindquarters. Never try to straighten him by leg yielding his hindquarters out behind his shoulders. 3.[..]

CLASSICAL DRESSAGE-PROGRAM YOUR POSITION You'd probably agree that having a balanced, centered position plays a huge role in being an effective rider. And you'd probably also agree that it seems like you've been picking away at your faults for years but still struggle to find an independent seat and an elegant position. How do we know that? We know because we've been in the same boat and know how frustrating it can be to ride around for years with the same old position problems and crooked bodies. So we put our heads together and developed our unique program based on two very powerful sports psychology techniques. Those two techniques are: 1. Programming the subconscious mind 2.[..]

In 1885, the then J.A. Holden & Son, were prolific manufacturers of horse harnesses, horse saddles, travel goods, gun cases, whips, crops and vehicle hardware. Under government contracts in 1897, the company[..]
Choosing the right horse saddle is not just only the important thing in ensuring your and the health of your horse and comfort, but also fitting the saddle properly.

Stubben saddles are legendary for their tree design. The saddles are constructed in Stans, Switzerland, and construction of each saddle is comprised of two roughly parallel processes: the leather working and the creation of the tree.

Each Stubben spring tree is made to specification to fit rider and horse perfectly. Though the process is exacting and expensive, the result is worth it: a comfortable saddle for both rider and horse that provides superior support for the rider.

Hay Bar For Horses
A Hay Bar can drastically improve your horse's feeding habits. There is an optimum position that your horse's head should be in when feeding. When food is consumes in less than ideal positions your horse's health can suffer as a consequence. Dental problems can be caused by pooring eating positions. Waste hay is also reduced because hay no longer gets contaminated. This is because feeding forage from the floor costs more because there is more waste. As a result it becomes difficult to estimate how much hay to order because it is hard to judge how much waste is being produced and how much hay is actually being consumed. It is obviously very deterimental to a horse's health to consume[..]
