Advice For Horse Happiness
Spending time with your horse not only enables a close bond to develop between you both, but it also enables you to learn how your horse responds to situations and how they are in themselves. Over time you will be able to read their body language. A calm and responsive horse is generally a happy one. He will keep a low head, relaxed jaw and have soft eyes. A horse when happy will not invade your personal space – this is a sign of respect in seeking affection from you. One sign that your horse is relaxed and calm is that of yawning – this does not mean he is bored. You can tell by the way a horse holds himself if there is something wrong; a troubled horse will be reluctant to stand still and will hold his head high with a tense jaw and darting eyes. You must let the horse settle down in his own time, otherwise he may feel trapped and possibly go into “flight” mode, making him even more stressed.
When grooming your horse you also get the opportunity to check him over for minor ailments or other problems. You should inspect your horse’s teeth, hooves, shoes, eyes and droppings regularly. Any change in the normal should be reported to your vet at the earliest opportunity – any delay could cause you extra worry, expense and a potential claim on your horse insurance. Your vet will be able to advance book the appropriate appointments for regular worming and vaccinations. Worms and parasites can build up immunity to medication so to minimise this you should rotate the medications. Your horse could develop immune system, heart or colic problems as a result of unsuitable medication. Make sure you have asked your vet to administer influenza, encephalitis and rhinoneumonitis vaccinations. Also advisable while not necessarily essential would be vaccinations against tetanus and rabies. A negative Coggins test for equine infectious anaemia (EIA) may need to be shown if you regularly use hired trailers for horse events – this is a serious incurable equine virus.
An important part of keeping a horse happy and comfortable is making sure you have a good farrier who visits regularly. Long and imbalanced feet will soon cause discomfort to a horse and both mood and performance will be affected. Remember that if your horse’s feet are not taken care of properly that this could lead to bigger problems requiring veterinary treatment – if you are negligent whether interntionally or otherwise you will probably find that your horse insurance will not cover the cost of treatment.Your farrier should trim hooves every six to eight weeks or more often if needed.
Your horse will need a blanket or coat during the wet and cold winter months and during the summer, a fly protective horse sheet or mask is advisable. If your horse lathers up during or after exercising, it’s best to use a horse cooler until they have calmed and cooled down. Horses are not supposed to drink water after being ridden as it could put their bodies into shock. Also, after exercising, ensure that your horse has regained its normal body temperature and breathing before feeding. After eating you should give your horse at least an hour before exercise.
Horses are happiest when they know that they have a purpose – this could be showing, jumping or therapy, for example. Horses glory in feeling worthwhile. A horse needs to feel a purpose and that everything is ok – a young horse in particular should be praised often even for simply standing still. Horses are also inquisitive, so by introducing new experiences to them, the more positive, confident and brave they will become.
Horses are wonderful creatures that deserve all the love and care you can give. As a horse owner you have a responsibility to provide the best healthcare possible for your equine companion. Keeping a horse can be a very expensive business, and without good horse insurance provided by a specialist equine insurer, it is possible to quickly run into financial problems if your horse should become sick or sustain an injury. The rewards to you for providing the very best for your horse are priceless, as they will give love back to you a thousand times over.
