Basic Information for the Serious Novice Horseperson
Because of their size
and strength, horses are often misunderstood by people who don't know
much about them. They often assume horses require little care - just
stick them in a field and they'll be fine. They also tend to
underestimate the safety aspects of being around horses - safety for
both horse and human.
Hoof Health - Hoof Conformation for Horse Owners
Although I am not
keen on trimming and shoeing formulas, I believe that there are some
important guidelines and landmarks that can be helpful in the assessment
of hoof conformation and in defining an approach to the trim and choice
of shoes. I believe the trim is of first importance in maintaining hoof
health and function. The proper choice of shoes and shoe placement come
second.
Grooming Horses & Ponies
Horses in nature groom themselves and each
other, with their teeth, by rolling, scratching on branches and other
objects. So it is no surprise that when removed from their natural
habitat, they need to be groomed.
Safety Around Horses
Getting involved in horses is a wonderful
and rewarding way to learn new skills, develop a relationship with a
fascinating animal, and meet new friends in the process. Like many
activities, however, equestrian sport also involves some degree of risk.
Horses are large, powerful animals, easily capable of injuring a person.
But, if you are well armed with a basic understanding of horses, a few
hard and fast rules, and your own good sense, the risks are readily
minimized.
