How Can I Take Care Of My Old Horse?

You ve probably been with your Horse long enough to know that its come of age. Have an older horse companion in your pasture?  Bless their hearts they have such stories they can tell.  In terms of being considered a senior horse, if your equine is 20 or older he is a veteran or campaigner.  This age by the way would make him about a 60-year- old human.

Equine Parasites

Horses just like many other types of animals are prone to a number of parasites, today I will make attempt to shed more light on these parasites and what to look out for. You might see a lot of medical jargons but not to worry I will try as much as possible to make you understand my direction of thought. So, lets do this.

Internal parasites - out of sight, out of mind - can kill your horse.  While they may be out of sight, they are doing extensive damage internally.  At a minimum, parasites can steal nutrients from your horse and cause gastrointestinal irritation.  The bad news is, uncontrolled they can cause colic, intestinal ruptures and death.

That Weather is too Hot - Cool Down Your Horse.

It's over 40 degrees in the baking sun and you can't even walk outside without feeling like you've been drained of every ounce of energy you ever had.  If you feel this way, imagine how your horse feels.  Pretty much the same.  If you are hot, so are they.Horses like weather in the 55-degree range and during the height of summer 55- degree days are fairly rare.  What can you do to help cool your horse down?

The Farrier and your Horse feet

We've all heard this one before: "No foot, no horse."  How true.  Farrier care is one of the most important aspects of caring for your horse, and usually not all that easy unfortunately.

We've all had them - the squirmers who snatch their feet away, kickers, wigglers, stompers, lazy leaning horses that are the bane of a farrier's existence. Finding a good farrier is hard enough as it is, so you don't want him to refuse to trim or shoe your horse because your equine is being a total idiot.  Farriers are always busy and they don't have the time to train your horse to pick up their feet and stand quietly.  That is your job. So, train your horse to do this early and do it well.  Yes, it can also be taught to older horses. Just don't ask for too much too soon from them and it will all work out.
