24.01.2022 Please remember! All behaviour is caused by the environment, therefore all behaviour needs to be considered in the context and environment in which it occured. Thanks to the Pet Professional Guild Australia for the poster. #equinebehavior

22.01.2022 Lots of people worry that their horse may be "wasted" so EBTA has produced a guide to help you decide....

21.01.2022 Mares aren’t always well liked and for the same reasons strong women aren’t. Opinionated? Those opinions are not without good cause and maybe you can't figure ...them out or maybe you just don’t like her opinion of you. Change it and she will always be on your side. Stubborn? She just won’t let you bulldoze her. Treat her with respect and her resilience will be an asset to you. Difficult? You just can’t handle her. You don’t have what it takes. Stick with geldings then, and leave the mare for someone who understands her and appreciates the same qualities society has subtlety taught you not to like. Here’s to mares, to strong women, and to those who CAN and DO appreciate them! ~ The Evolving Equestrian

19.01.2022 Very interesting article, a must read.

18.01.2022 Let them be horses. Turn them out, let them run. Let them buck, let them leap, rather in the field than the arena, right?... Give them a herd, even a herd of two. Let them be with other horses, what’s a life without friends? Give them downtime, not just days off riding, but days to enjoy life. Happy horses are trainable horses. Take the rug off, let them feel the sun. Let them roll in the mud, a little dirt never hurt anyone. Escape the arena and explore, don’t stick to the well worn path. The most beautiful places are usually found by accident. Showing them how much you love them doesn’t have to come from buying expensive things. You can buy every rug, all the boots, the best tack, wash them, groom them, feed them, put them in the best yard, with the best facilities and wrap them up in cotton wool, but one day you’ll realise the best thing you could possibly do... ... is just let them be horses.

18.01.2022 Well worth a look, important stuff

17.01.2022 If you have too long reins the hands go back and then you restrict the horse. If you shorten the rein and go forward with the hands then you have more control ...of the frame. Turn the volume up to listen! Dr. Dieter Schule leads a clinic on judging the Developing Horse Prix St. Georges Test. This series provides many insights into how this test is judged and offers a multitude of tips on how to improve your own ride, with a particularly instructive section on the extended walk.

15.01.2022 A thought-provoking read. By Jane Smiley Most horses pass from one human to another - some horsemen and women are patient and forgiving, others are rigorous and... demanding, others are cruel, others are ignorant. Horses have to learn how to, at the minimum, walk, trot, canter, gallop, go on trails and maybe jump, to be treated by the vet, all with sense and good manners. Talented Thoroughbreds must learn how to win races, and if they can't do that, they must learn how to negotiate courses and jump over strange obstacles without touching them, or do complicated dance like movements or control cattle or accommodate severely handicapped children and adults in therapy work. Many horses learn all of these things in the course of a single lifetime. Besides this, they learn to understand and fit into the successive social systems of other horses they meet along the way. A horse's life is rather like twenty years in foster care, or in and out of prison, while at the same time changing schools over and over and discovering that not only do the other students already have their own social groups, but that what you learned at the old school hasn't much application at the new one. We do not require as much of any other species, including humans. That horses frequently excel, that they exceed the expectations of their owners and trainers in such circumstances, is as much a testament to their intelligence and adaptability as to their relationship skills or their natural generosity or their inborn nature. That they sometimes manifest the same symptoms as abandoned orphans - distress, strange behaviors, anger, fear - is less surprising than that they usually don't. No one expects a child, or even a dog to develop its intellectual capacities living in a box 23 hours a day and then doing controlled exercises the remaining one. Mammal minds develop through social interaction and stimulation. A horse that seems "stupid", "slow", "stubborn", etc. might just have not gotten the chance to learn! Take care of your horses and treasure them.

13.01.2022 "In the Buddhist perspective, the cause of suffering is clinginess. It is so easy to cling to our pets. They're lovable; some are like teddy bears. Petting them... can be so mesmerising. They are our companions and love us unconditionally. Who wouldn't cling to that? The thought of losing them can be unbearable. Enter "clinginess". I would even dare to say that euthanasia can be a form of clinginess: the need to control their death and make sure no pain or suffering happens. This is not to say that we turn a blind eye to what is going on. If anything, we can turn toward it, connect to it, feel it, embrace it. Allow the animal to have their own life, their own pain, their own death. When we let go of that which we can not control, the fact that our animal will die one day, the suffering to which we subject ourselves stops. Animals live in the present moment. They don't argue with what is happening. It just is. This is also true of hospice. Life just is. Death just is. When we embrace it and be present with it, a whole new experience shows up that does not involve the suffering that comes from clinginess. My goal in rehabbing senior horses and seeing them through hospice is not to prevent pain and death, but rather to connect to the horse and all that is happening in the moment. It naturally leads to providing comfort care, and a completely new approach to death that honours their unique process." ~ Horse Hospice Mayas Recovery #wadifarmlife #livelighter photos (c) KAW

11.01.2022 Please don't over rug this winter, your 'Good Doer' will thrive on surviving. A ‘good doer’ is a pony or horse that can survive on fresh air, he is a survival e...xpert, but with our modern management are we providing our good doers with a healthy environment or are we predisposing them to metabolic dysfunction? Good doers possess alternative energy systems to help them survive in harsh environments, every now and again they need a harsh environment to re-establish or balance energy metabolism. What is a harsh environment? We may not like to see horses in a field, without a rug, with a hairy coat, very little grass and only low grade hay/straw to eat, but is this better for the native pony good doer than to have a life time of EMS leading to laminitis? ‘Cresty’ necks are unsightly lumps of fat found on the neck of an overweight or obese horse and there is a growing awareness amongst vets and horse owners that having a ‘cresty neck’ predisposes it to laminitis. Some breeds are more prone to having a ‘cresty’ neck than others, native breeds such as the Welsh, Connemaras, Highlands and Shetland ponies are among the more susceptible as they require less food with lower sugar/starch than many of the other breeds, they also have a natural leaning towards insulin resistance because they have evolved from an environment where food supplies are often scarce and available nutrients change from season to season. Susceptible ponies (and cross breeds) are called ‘good doers’ and they possess an insulin resistant genotype as a survival mechanism which makes them more likely to develop insulin resistance, a good thing as it helps them to survive their native harsh mountain/moorland environment. These ponies naturally have a higher level of insulin secretion and a slower glucose disposal rate which is a positive adaptation for sparse food rations. During the harsh winter conditions when glucose is unavailable or scarce the ‘good doer’ will switch to an alternative energy system to ensure survival and as the available food changes from grass to shrubs/herbage such as gorse, tree bark and marsh grass the metabolism will also switch to a more conservative system of energy use and storage which prevents any ingested glucose from entering the muscle and adipose tissue. Deprived of glucose the tissues then start to use another energy supply (lipids/triglycerides) allowing the dwindling but precious sources of glucose to support vital organs. ‘Good doers’ have lower insulin sensitivity and higher insulin secretion plus high circulating levels of triglycerides. This tendency towards insulin resistance is a natural efficient adaptation which also involves the ‘pay it forward’ insulin system which exists in the gut. The problems start when the ‘good doer’ clashes with the modern management system and change of environment, and switches to a diet containing too much sugar and starch from hard feed, high quality hay and grass (perennial rye) designed by modern farming methods as suitable for high milk yielding cattle, with no drop in the quality of nutrients through the winter months. ‘Good doers’ are more predisposed to laminitis but any horse receiving more calories than required for work will store the excess as adipose tissue and fat pads will soon appear as ‘cresty necks’, tail pads, shoulders, sheath etc and has the potential to develop endocrinopathic laminitis.

11.01.2022 This is desperately sad But all to often seen.

11.01.2022 EQUINE BACK MOTION A lot of people have been asking on the earlier saddle post today about how much the horses back moves during exercise. There are a fair numb...er of papers now published on this but visuals are always good. Here is a short video of a horse walking and trotting on a treadmill viewed from above with painted markers along the spine and IMU's (orange) to record motion.

07.01.2022 Used to love watching this pair when I was a little starry eyed girl :)

07.01.2022 I was doing some research on horses eyesight and found it fascinating so I thought I would share some facts with you guys - feel free to share if you have a h...orse who regularly spooks, have a read! Did you know horses have the largest eyes out of ALL land mammals? The first image is a humans eyesight and what we see. The second is a horses eyesight. They have a blind spot directly in front of them and cannot merge their vision into one image like we can. This makes it all the more incredible at how the horse can jump, especially when we ask them to jump skinny fences and combinations Horses do not focus their eyes the way we do. Have you ever seen a horse raising and lowering its head as it looks at an object? It does that to adjust the focal length, moving until the object comes into focus on its retina. When you see a horse shy at a sudden movement behind him or next to him, his peripheral vision has sighted the movement but has not yet had time to focus on it. Even when the horse has focused as best it can, its sight is only three-fifths that of a human. In other words, when looking at an object twenty feet away, the horse sees only as much detail as a person would see if the object were thirty-five feet away. Simply, when you are out riding and see a strange object ahead, you will recognize what you are seeing long before your horse does. So we can cut our horses some slack when they spook at something that we think is silly Another interesting fact is that the right eye reports to the right side of the brain and the left eye reports to the left side of the brain. This explains why horses may spook on the right rein and then after showing them the object they go past it fine, but when you change rein they still spook at it again on the left rein. Contrary to popular belief, horses CAN also perceive depth. "Apparently, horses have many of the same depth-detecting skills that we have. They have true stereoscopic vision, despite having lateral eyes." When you really think about it, isn’t it incredible that we, as a predatory being, can ride upon the back of a horse, a prey animal who’s every instinct tells it to run from us? Horses are amazing
