  • Signs of Navicular Disease - Navicular disease is somewhat of a mysterious condition among horseowners. They may walk to their barn one day to find a horse that is sitting on his haunches and appears to be in enormous amounts of pain. Or, they may notice that their colt in race training tends to slow halfway through the workout. Owners of pleasure horses may not even realize it until one day the horse is unwilling to move forward and stumbles through gaits that it once performed with ease. These horses are often feeling a burning pain due to the increased bloodflow in their hooves and the shifting of the coffin bone. If the hooves are not properly trimmed on a regular basis, the horse is more susceptible to suffering from navicular due to abnormal growth of the hoof. The hoof grows and wears in accordance with the footing that the horse is kept on.
  • Horse Back Riding Lessons In San Diego - Horse back riding can be a wonderful past time that allows you to be outdoors and take in the beauty of nature. It can be an exhilarating experience mounted on the back of a horse, letting them provide the mode of transportation. However, it's not quite as easy as all of that. Movies play off horseback riding to be a leisure activity that anyone can do. And while it can be relaxing and is surely enjoyable, you will need to take horse back riding lessons in San Diego before you start perusing the trails. If you live in or around San Diego, then you have plenty of options as to where to get horseback riding lessons.
  • Have You Outgrown Your Horse - How do you know when your horse is too small for you? Quite simply, when your horse can't carry you comfortably, you've outgrown him. Of course, there are ways to outgrow a horse well before he feels physical discomfort. So how do you know when it's time to upgrade to something a bit larger? There are instances where your horse can handle your weight just fine, but you are simply too tall for your horse. How to tell? Well, if you are jumping over obstacles and your feet are banging on the rails, you are most likely too tall for your horse! But what about that same rider and horse who don't jump? If the horse can still handle the weight of the rider, whether or not the rider is too tall for the horse is a matter or aesthetics.
  • Horse Vices - A Horse Vice is in fact just another name for a bad habit. Some vices can seriously affect your horse's wellbeing but fortunately most are harmless if not annoying.
  • Foalhood Septicemias - Many foals are lost to septicemias every year. This is due to the fact that the foal is very susceptible to many types of infections and many types of infections can cause septicemia. The most common method for a foal to become infected is through the umbilical cord stump. The umbilical cord should not be broken too soon after the birth of the foal. If the umbilical cord is broken too early, the foal may be deprived of a large quantity of blood. The cord should be allowed to break on its own and the disinfected quickly thereafter.
  • How We Moved from Local Shows to Circuit Shows - Our family became involved in horse showing when we started out in local farm shows and then moved to local association shows and onto regional and national AAA circuit shows. We gained valuable insight along the way, had to upgrade our horses and our tack, and had to develop a single-minded focus for all involved. Local farm shows started out as single day-long show.
  • How to Get Organized for a New Year of Horse Shows - Mom's Perspective: By the time December rolls around each year, we all get slightly crabby during those first two shows of the month. We really need this time to regroup and maybe even celebrate the holidays! So, traditionally we've taken off from mid-December to mid-February.
  • How Showing Horses Has Made Me a Better Parent - Horse showing provides many opportunities to parent and raise a healthy teenager. My best listening opportunities occur when my daughter and I travel to and from horse shows. We're both feeling nervous anticipation on the trip out each morning, but I've discovered it's an ideal time to find out what's uppermost in my daughters mind. Surprisingly during this time, what she's thinking about often has little to do with horse showing. In fact, most times it has to do with school or friend situations. More recently, her mind is occupied with thoughts about her relationship with her boyfriend. The trip home after the show can be a little trickier depending on how the show day has gone.
  • Equine Viral Arteritis (EVA) - Many breeders and mare owners are working to inform themselves more on this disease, as the devastating effects are being felt by those who haven't checked to see if their mares or stallions have been vaccinated against this disease that causes abortion in mares. In fact, even the American Quarter Horse Association is willing to keep EVA vaccination records on hold with the horse's permanent records.
  • 7 Strategies to Help Horse Show Parents and Teens Beat the Losing Slump - Horse showing provides an incredible opportunity for learning some important life lessons for both teens and their parents. Sportsmanship, competition, and learning to deal with losing can serve as the basis for significant teachable moments for parents. We have a unique role to play in helping our children keep their perspective, and we can provide important emotional support during tough times, as well. Good parenting skills come into play, especially when the child who is accustomed to winning doesn't win. A situation like this certainly does provide a dose of what real life is like. Even the best rider will experience some type of slump sometime during her career.
  • How to Help Your Child Set Goals at Horse Shows - One of my favorite teachable moments for parenting and horse showing is helping kids learn to set goals. Horse showing provides a great opportunity for young children to watch you set and achieve goals, for older children to participate with you in goal setting, and for teens to set their own goals in conjunction with you. Much of horse showing is all about setting and achieving a goal. The goal can be one that you set for the season, like riding well enough to move up a class or jump height, qualifying for end-of-year finals, or braving the chaos in the schooling ring.
  • 5 Tips for Successful Parenting for Show Moms - Parenting a teen takes much more listening and engagement than when they were younger. With teens, you have to be subtle, pick your moments, and listen very carefully. Parents need to "show up", be present, and be engaged with a teen. Horse showing provides many great opportunities to be present and engaged. It is a time to listen and observe your daughter with other kids and adults, watch her handle competition, and observe how she works with a trainer and grooms. Traveling to and from shows, grooming a horse, or hanging out waiting for the next class are also key listening and observing times. Here's how you can learn to listen and pick your parenting moments with your daughter: 1.
  • Equine Influenza - It's flu season and you feel a little under the weather. Did you know that your horse can get the flu too? That's right! Just as the flu spreads quickly through groups of people, equine influenza spreads quickly through groups of horses as well! But don't worry, while your horse may need to lay low for a few days, most horses recover without complications, and very few die. So how do you know if your horse is dealing with a bout of the flu? A fever in the range of 101 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit is usually the first sign.
