Soft Horse
Advice For Horse Happiness
Bonding with your horse will allow you to learn and respond to his feelings and reactions in different situations. Over time you will be able to read their body language. A happy horse will generally appear calm and be responsive to you. They will keep their head lowered, and have soft eyes and a relaxed jaw. By not invading your personal space your horse is showing affection by seeking your love and respect; this is a sign of a happy horse. When a horse yawns this is not a sign of being bored, but a sign that he is calm and relaxed. A horse will show that he is uncomfortable in a number of ways, including holding his head high and with a tense jaw, darting his eyes around, and not wanting to stand still. 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. It is advisable to check your horse’s teeth, eyes, hooves, shoes and droppings frequently. 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. Ensure you have made appointments with your equine vet for the administration of vaccinations and worming treatments. There are many different types of worms and parasites and you should rotate medications to get the best benefits and to stop them building up immunity. The result of insufficient or unsuitable medicines and treatment could be a colicky equine, with potential heart and immune system problems. Horses should always be vaccinated for encephalitis, influenza and rhinoneumonitis. A good idea would be to have tetanus and rabies vaccinations too. Regular users of trailers at show and equestrian events may need to show a negative Coggins test for presence of the incurable virus EIA or equine infectious anaemia.
Regular visits from the farrier is an important part of keeping a horse happy and comfortable. 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 is prone to lathering during or after exercise then it may be best to use a horse cooler until he has calmed down. Horses are not supposed to drink water after being ridden as it could put their bodies into shock. It is also important to let your horse cool down properly after exercise and before feeding. Do not exercise your horse for at least an hour after he has finished eating.
Horses need to have a purpose, whether it is riding, showing, therapy, carriages or dray. They revel on feeling worthwhile. Always give your horse plenty of praise – particularly when young and unbroken – as this will give him a sense of purpose and of focus. As horses are naturally inquisitive animals, they will become more brave, positive and confident the more new experiences you introduce to them.
Horses are wonderful creatures that deserve all the love and care you can give. Providing the best type of healthcare 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.
