5 More Tips For Keeping Horses Happy
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 learn his body language. A happy horse will be responsive to you and have a calm and relaxed manner. They will keep their head lowered, and have soft eyes and a relaxed jaw. A happy and contented horse will want your love in return and show respect to you. Your horse may yawn to show that he is calm and relaxed – this is not a sign of boredom. If your horse is holding its head high with a tense jaw and has darting eyes and a reluctance to stand still, then there is something wrong – he is not comfortable. 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.
Grooming your horse gives you the opportunity to check him over regularly. 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. It is also important that your vet has regular worming and vaccination appointments set with you. If you rotate medications you stand a better chance of killing off as many different types of worms and parasites as possible and also giving less time for them to build immunity. Your horse could develop immune system, heart or colic problems as a result of unsuitable medication. Horses should always be vaccinated for encephalitis, influenza and rhinoneumonitis. It is also advisable to have vaccinations for tetanus and rabies, though these are not necessarily essential. If you are a regular with the horse trailers at horse shows etc, your horse may need to show a negative Coggins test, which is for a serious equine virus called equine infectious anaemia (EIA) for which there is no cure or treatment.
Having regular farrier visits is also essential for a happy and comfortable horse. Long and imbalanced feet will soon cause discomfort to a horse and both mood and performance will be affected. The 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 is prone to lathering during or after exercise then it may be best to use a horse cooler until he has calmed down. While it may seem logical to give your horse a drink after exercise, this could in fact put his body into shock. Normal body temperature needs to be regained after exercise and before feeding your horse. After eating you should give your horse at least an hour before exercise.
Horses need to have a purpose, whether it is riding, showing, therapy, carriages or dray. A horse will be happy when he feels that he is performing a useful function. 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. As horses are naturally inquisitive animals, they will become more brave, positive and confident the more new experiences you introduce to them.
A horse is a beautiful and magnificent creature that deserves a good home for life with excellent care. Providing the best type of health care possible is a responsibility which you, as the horse’s owner, agree to take on when purchasing a horse. 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.
