Warmblood’s Are The Horse Breed Of Competitive Edge

February 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment

To suspect that a horse breed that did not exist 60 years back would become a genuine legend! Yes, I’m talking about the Belgian Warmblood or BWP, which has surpassed celebrity standing within such a short period of time. The breeding of light weight horses was historically restricted in Belgium, as the country wished to maintain the pureness of its famous Braband strain. It was only in the early 1950s that the government relaxed its prohibition and the Minister of Agriculture gave his approval to a breeding project that concerned horse breeds from every part of Europe. The Warmblood was an outcome of this project. The 1st horse of this breed was born in 1953.

The Warmblood has acquired incredible success in sports arenas, particularly in disciplines like dressage and show jumping. It is a horse with strong conformation and rude health and a large tight body featuring broad hindquarters and strong hind legs.

The Warmblood has an average height of 16 to 17 hh.

Belgium’s horse breeding program is tightly controlled and breeding is permitted only with horses that meet draconian standards. The program has produced powerful bloodlines including names like Big Ben, Darco and Sapphire.

When they reach the age of 3 or 4, Warmblood stallions are put thru a Hengstenkeuring or analysis test; this test judges the horses ‘ conformation and loose jumping abilities. The horses are than inspected and evaluated by expert vets before the final phase, when they’re considered for performance when under the saddle. Only those horses that get thru this test successfully get cleared for breeding. While mares are also assessed, they are not the subject of analyses under the saddle.

The Warmblood BWP registry hopes to breed horses of attractive characters that are a joy to ride, and may also be used to take part in global equine events. Two facets of the breed that have been given great concern are health and conformation.

Warmblood horses sport a variety of colors like chestnut, grey, black, bay and brown, and some pintos.

As a robustly healthy and versatile breed that has achieved great success as dressage horses, show jumpers and all round sport horses, the Warmblood breed has gained worldwide renown. The Warmblood is typically the horse to beat in most equestrian disciplines.

Inside a bit more than half a century, the Warmblood’s versatility has made it one of the planet’s most accomplished in-demand sport horse breeds. This breed has made a massive impact in nearly every equestrian discipline, and looks superb for lots more in the future.

Cleaning Your Horses Udders Or Sheath

February 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Excited about getting your mare into equestrian training suited for dressage? An old adage reminds of crossing bridges when you’re there, and if you and your equine partner have just met, you’re some distance from the dressage bridge—you’re probably still at the holistic pony care and health maintenance bridge. Before starting on excellent coaching regimes and horse riding expeditions, you first have to learn how to care for your mare and her grooming and hygiene wants. Take cleaning her udders as an example.

If you have been feeling out your horse, you ought to know she is both proud and sensitive. She’ll easily go fight or flight on any danger or discomfort—even just the perception of it. And almost all of the time, particularly for horses that are relatively new to their domestic dwellings, the source of both danger and discomfort is you. And if you believe you’ve seen your mare get sensitive when you touch her ears or mouth, try jumping on her udders.

You want to establish you are not going to hurt her. From there, you make her get used to your touch, irrespective of where you’re touching. The whole process needs patience, and isn’t a one day deal. You’ll have to patiently work on getting her comfy to the routines for days until she ultimately gets it. Before starting, know 2 things: practice patience and always reward her positive responses and improvements, and always stay safe—that is, away from places she could kick your head off.

The steps to making a pony let you touch her is to begin at places you can already touch, and carefully work your way to the part that you want her to become used to. Say you wish to train her to not react negatively to your touching her ear. Then start stroking her face where she allows you, then gradually work your way to her ears. Move your hand quick enough so that your hand brushes her ear and moves away before she’ll react, gradually slowing down until you can touch her ear, then hold it, and do whatever with it without her reacting. Always reward your pony for responding correctly, even if it is just for not pulling away. The same general process applies for your horse’s udder. Only before you get there you’ll need to make her comfortable with you touching nearly every other part of her body first.

Know that she will most likely unleashe on you if you rush the task. So work slowly. To be safe, always stay next to her shoulders as if to mount and start on a horse riding spree, so if she steps away with her hips and kicks out you either can not be reached or have sufficient time to scram. Holding her head toward you through her reins also helps, so that you can partially restrain her when she starts reacting.

As in equestrian sport where you do not ride with just your bare hands, you also don’t clean your horse—any part of her—with just your hands. So be sure to introduce whatever it is you’ll be using to clean your mare’s udders to her the same way you did with your hands. And don’t use cleansers that will irritate her.

Most horses need sheath or udder cleaning only four times each year and others might need monthly cleaning. You can do it yourself or let a vet do it. Even if you select the second, you can still have to go through the motions of coaching your horse to let folk touch her sensitive areas. Vets can help in giving pointers when you make a decision to do so.

Tips For Pony Chiropractor Treatments

February 28, 2012 By 2 Comments

There may come instances where a sudden condition in your horse’s backbone may require the special services of an equine chiropractor, but leaving all the horse bodywork to professionals alone may not be the best idea. Actually for horse riders and trainers, it’s advisable that they learn bodywork and apply some DIY bodywork to horses that have afflictions that may be healed through these practices. Naturally, an equestrian can not ever be as good at the bodywork as a licensed and qualified pro is, but what an expert can achieve in single sessions, an equestrian can achieve thru consistent and earnest efforts.

Let us take a look at it this way, if a certain condition can be remedied by a horse bodywork pro 100% in one session, you as the trainer or owner of the horse can do the same, only not in one session. Being only partially informed and no expert at the bodywork, in a session you can achieve about, say, 10% of what a professional can do. What this means is that though you are no one-shot wonder, you can still perform the same bodywork and yield similar results if you could do it ten times. Learning and developing bodywork abilities makes you a certain % as effective as a professional in bodywork, meaning at last you may not even need the services of a pro unless something extreme occurs or develops, you only need to improve and be consistent in your DIY bodywork sessions.

You may well think this means more work for you as the coach, but since you already perform equestrian training and general medicare for your horses, why not pitch in some regular bodywork for the horses that need it? Consider it, you’re with your horses most of the time anyway, if not for horse riding, for general care. You are the one who can apply such a regime most efficiently. And, you can help ailing steeds ultimately become good for pony riding again or for sport and heavy activities.

Doing the bodywork your self is rewarding in itself. You further develop what bodywork abilities you already have and thus improve the effect of your DIY bodywork sessions, you improve your relationship with the affected pony each time you do it and your horse appreciates you better and better for it, and you get to relentlessly cure most physical malformations and anomalies in your dear horses.

The key to this is continued learning thru watching bodywork DVDs, attending available classes and clinics, and always putting what you know in practice. Also, never giving up on the effort is essential—just being a harbinger of relief for one horse will start her on the way to getting better.

Realize there will continue to be instances where you will need a pro to do it for you, but thanks to your work of doing it DIY, these instances will be few and far between—which is better for you and your horses.

Pony Training Techniques That Yield Positive Outcomes

February 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Say you have an outstanding horse, a champ at the equestrian sport you trained her to take part in. You’re happy with her and her achievements. Have you ever stopped to ask if she’s actually , really well-broke?

Stupid? Well, in fact , she’s a champ at what she does, and she’s never dropped a hint of being spooked or sensitive to what you do around and with her. Let’s assume you have even begun teaching routines proportionate to high dressage maneuvers and she has not disappoint you. Why would you suspect she is not well-broke yet? Just to be sure, try changing the environment or riding with other equestrian trainers and horse owners on a trail completely new to your horse. If she freaks out at even the most straightforward cues and spooks around other horses or folks, then you know she’s not well-broke, she’s just used to your routines, your commands, and your exercises (as well as the equestrian sport you trained her for) in environs she’s similarly used to. She might be a mare fit for her equestrian sport or for whatever activity she was trained for, but she’s not well-broke.

A well-broke pony can shift from his regular routine, say cutting for example, and continue with another activity and perform almost as well as he probably did with cutting in any environment without as much as a neigh of complaint. Well-broke horses listen to their trainers ‘ or riders ‘ commands and follow their cues without regard for the situation. Naturally, you have to train your mare to perform precise functions satisfactorily well and to develop correct responses to stimuli instead of just showing the ever-present flight or fight behavior.

To do that, your equestrian training routine, whether for straightforward horse riding or actual sport, shouldn’t rely solely on repetitive lessons taught in the pen but should also include sort of on-the-job coaching to be certain that beyond consistently achieving mastery of the manoeuvres you teach, your horse can also put them into practice as well as learn practical lessons you can not or don’t teach her in a pen. Introduce these straightforward out-of-the-box exercises to your mare’s routine to start her on the path to being really well-broke:

Gate work “Working a gate is a small model of equestrian training the depths of which you wouldn’t be well placed to imagine unless you do it. Your horse could well be nervous or spooked by contact with a gate she’s meant to snug up laterally to, and this is what you want to dispose of. From standing still next to a gate to adjusting position in single steps to shedding her reaction of moving away, there’s a lot of training to be undergone in gate work.

Log dragging “The theory is simple: use some rope or a lariat to drag a log behind you as you ride. This would teach your mare to not get spooked by things, animals, or folks coming up from behind.

Maintaining level of gait on trail group riding “Horses are herd animals. The difficulty is, when you are riding with other horses and riders, if your horse isn’t well-broke, when one of the riders gets his pony to modify gait and go quicker, your mare might wish to follow follow suit on its own. So teach her to repress that nature. You’ll need another horse and rider for this one.

While there are lots of more training exercises to guarantee a well-broke horse, these are examples of the simplest and most useful ones when you are starting. Take it slowly and remember to bring your patience with you.

Pony Health Care Starts With You

February 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

When it comes to holistic pony health care, as an old adage goes: “nothing cannot be healed.” Whether, it is shortage of energy, a puny stomach, or a poor posture, there’s no condition that cannot be made better. But naturally, it needs a lot of active collusion on the part of the pony owner. An equestrian ought to know better than merely give up without exhausting all possible treatments, both traditional and alternative.

Often horses with a deteriorating condition are left that way by an ignorant owner. As an example, a colt with a very bad back owing to a hump on his lumbar regions, if unlucky enough to have an owner blind to how to treat him, would only deterioriate. Sooner or later—and much to the relief of the pony, the owner would sell or refer him to a better equestrian or an expert.

There are many ways to diminish our colt’s condition: Bowen type bodywork, network chiropractic exercises, acupressure, and even daily passive stretches. Done with efficiency on a constant basis, in about three weeks the body structure of the poor colt would have improved. Not right away obvious, in truth the hump on his back will still be gruesomely observable, but there’d be results already. The he would be more relaxed and more physically proportionate than when he was going through the advanced stages of his condition where he’d have looked hunched with a beer gut. Given enough treatment, riding him will become possible again.

This isn’t to promote a certain type of bodywork or another “do it yourself” or “how to” piece on curing a certain infirmity. The point here is that there is still hope that your horse can get better whatever its present condition or ailment could be. Not all horses are made well rounded and perfect, with a nicely built physique, strong limbs, and kitted out with tricks that may win a dressage competition. But their quality of life—and what they can do—can always be made better. And the pony owners have a huge role to play to bring this about.

More than learning and training for horse riding, owners should also learn and be an active participator in their equine partner’s health care. Learn the way to do your mare’s bodywork, even just the basics. Trim your own mare’s nails. If you can do a dental check, then that is far better. You could have other things worth doing and thus lack ample time to devote to learning every routine that is part of holistic care, but learning even just a few of them can make a big difference. Those other things you can’t do, ask somebody else to—someone schooled to accomplish the job. What’s important is that your pony gets the medicare it merits.

The Challanges Of Caring For Your Treasured Horses

February 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

An equestrian would know that horses are definitely hay burners and consume much of one’s budget. That’s why, in financial as well as other aspects, it is difficult to keep and care for just one—how much more if you’re a ‘horse addict ‘ and have a herd?

Well, sometimes we permit ourselves to get something really expensive as a reward to ourselves. That can be 1 explanation why you would go buy quality pony, a costly and gifted steed good at reigning and well-suited for dressage. So let’s say you go buy one. But then, you realize reining isn’t for you. So you don’t really have much use for your horse’s talent while you continue to spend for her feed and work for her care. You choose to put out feelers for anyone who might be interested to buy her. Meanwhile, you continue to feed her your own special recipe and give her bodywork but at the back of your mind you are still thinking of selling her to someone else. Well, don’t be shocked if next time you come sit near her she’ll give you a slap on the back of your head and blow snot at you at least ten times as if to say, “Come on, wake up. You bought me as a reward to yourself, now you want to sell me… this relationship is supposed to go both-ways, I am your dream horse and you’re my dream owner.”

And when your horse does that to you, you will get the message even if you don’t excel on animal communication classes (you’ll be able to find animal communication resources all around the Web).

Regardless of if your steed has a Shao Yin character (one of the five horse type characters) —one that’s eager on pleasing folks, although that’s a pretty assertive message from a Shao Yin sort of horse.

But you don’t have to hang around for your steed to offer you the snots. Think carefully and remember, she was meant to be your reward and can not be such all by herself; she wants you to transform her into your dream equine partner. If she is not as tough as the remainder of your herd, then perhaps you need a different type of coaching for her.

That can be a difficult task to meet, so just consider it as another chance for you to grow. Of course , there’s much more to being an equestrian than dreaming of dressage or pony riding, galloping, and reining all day.

Developing A Good Seat Is Crucial To Horse Riding Success

February 27, 2012 By 1 Comment

Getting your own pony should come with sufficient reason—you must either want her for horse riding or for sport or you see horseback maneuvers as an art form, or some other reason along those lines. No reason can be decidedly wrong, it is simply that the reason for your getting horses would then affect how you go about owning one. A horse that’s suitable for your motivation is essential: an occasional ride would entail an aged, well-broke pony; a challenging equestrian sport will need a talented competitive steed; and those who wish to see moving, stylish art would need horses talented enough for dressage.

In relation to but irrespective of your reason or motivation behind being an equestrian is the requirement to find out how to relax, balance, and flow with the movements of your pony. This is not solely for the potency with which training is done and activities performed, but also for the comfort and health of the horse involved. And an important key element in achieving balance, relaxation, and a flowing connection between pony and rider, is the rider’s seat. The more trained and educated your seat is, the better you become at handling your horse and her reactions and actions.

Without a seat that works independently from your legs and arms, not to mention your voice, you will not be able to adequately control your equine partner. You can enforce cues through vocal commands, and gait speed thru your arm and leg movements, but ultimately the quality of the horseback experience would be lackluster. And even the leisurely rider anticipating weekend pony riding activities can benefit immensely from a productive seat. The first step, balance, is not got thru forcible means. First, you find your centre. As long as you know and control your center, balance can become as familiar as 2nd nature. And together with finding balance, you gain a level of relaxation that would enable you to explore what body movements, regardless of how apparently insubstantial, can influence your pony to a point that it can become a natural and effortless command.

As an example, hold your breath and your body would naturally clam up—so too would your horse. In extraordinary cases when you clench your jaw you’ll find your pony will clench hers too. With steady flowing harmony, as is necessary in dressage but is similarly beneficial in even straightforward pony riding, you’ll find that your horse will mirror your actions and bodily motions.

In being able to find your balance and relax on horseback your seat will start to naturally follow the motions of your pony. When your seat and your horse move as one, you are better equipped to control your partner’s movements thru your seat. The point when this happens is eye-opening: an easy change in position or even change in energy can tell your pony to slow down or speed up. But this is only the beginning of a long road in using your seat as a important tool in horse riding and sport.

How To Train Your Horse To Lift Her Foot

February 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Horse riding isn’t all about riding—a giant lump of it is about looking after your horses. Taking care of your horses ‘ feet is one of the most pressing and challenging jobs you need to perform to maintain the horses ‘ overall health. Being proud creatures and particularly protecting of their appreciated hooves, horses won’t easily let you pick their feet up. You’ll find that more frequently than not, going about it haphazardly would finish up with you being kicked stupid.

Horses that have undergone intensive equestrian training all commenced with the fundamentals, and among the fundamentals of caring for them is caring for their feet. It will not be straightforward to get them to lift their feet up for you, but with enough patience and if you follow these steps, you’ll soon win.

The key things you want to remember are Restraint, Repetition, and Reward.

These three regularly surface in several facets of equestrian training—especially when doing basic actions. When it comes to making your horse raise her feet for you, you will need to apply all 3 repeatedly. First things first: work in an enclosure where you can get to work safely, and start with the front legs. You want to ascertain if you want more control of her. If you do, put a bridle or halter on her. The process entails repetitive steps of making her become used to your signals (without stomping on you). Run your hand down from her shoulder to her foreleg. Usually nothing happens yet, and if the usual holds, ask her (utilizing the reins naturally) to step back in order to shift her weight. When she does, release the rein and let go of her foreleg and reward her. Repeat this until she shifts her weight when you place your hand on her foreleg.

The following steps are the same, only applied to different, possibly more delicate areas of your horse’s feet. When she consistently shifts weight when you place your hand on her foreleg, advance your hand down to her cannon bone. She’ll shift her weight back for sure. Restrain her from doing this. When her foot leaves the ground (even a little), release the reins and move your hand away and reward her with praise or strokes. Repeat this process until she’s ok with you holding her foot after she shifts her weight when you touch her foreleg.

When you begin to be in a position to lift the whole hoof off the ground without getting yourself kicked back, don’t push your luck. Set her foot back down as soon as her toe lifts, release restraints, and reward her. Each other try keep hold of the suspended foot longer. If you believe you can safely restrain her from pulling away or putting her foot down until she relaxes, then do so. Otherwise, just let go and reward her.

The hind legs are a different matter, as some horses simply are not used to lifting up their hind legs. Almost all of the time its more difficult. The same process of restrain, reward, repeat is followed — only this time you start with getting her familiar to shifting her hips away from you. From there, work your way until one of her hind feet leaves the ground. A note of caution though: the back legs are stronger than the front, and some horses are natural born kickers. If you believe you need to run her through a deadening program such that she does not kick your head off when you touch her back legs, then by all possible means, do so. Remember the closer you are to a horse the less impact a kick has.

Restrain her just enough to let her to know your objectives, reward her for each correct response, and repeat the process until it sticks. Basically, that is what equestrian coaching is all about.

Trusting Pony Instinct On Feed And Supplements

February 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

How are you feeding your horses? Are you force feeding a uniform feed regime to all your horses without leaving them any freedom to choose? If so , it’s about time you retire such a feeding practice and start trusting in a horse’s inbred senses that they might typically depend on. Many an equestrian has a stringent training regimen not only for safe and disciplined pony riding , but for a sport as definite and accurate as dressage. The issue is when an equestrian’s strict coaching regime influences his holistic health care for his horses such that he also gets really stringent when it comes to feeding them. Sure, he would probably know plenty about horse feed, but a stud or mare has its instinct guiding it—and they’re usually right on the money.

The perfect feeding regimen is something close to a correctly supplemented free choice feed environment. There are headstrong steeds out there that will not take a bite of anything you force them to take. If however you let them become used to free choice feeding routine and you think that giving them freedom to choose is affecting their health negatively, then introduce supplements to their feed. What our equine buddies might be really averse to are those unpleasant shots and additional medicines we mostly rush off to administer when they get out of condition.

And there comes a time, especially for horses undergoing equestrian training for such sport as dressage or physically demanding activities, that they do develop an illness of some sort. When they do, go on and take a veterinarian’s prescription, but do not expect your pony to gulp it down with pleasure. The first thing to do is to try regular doses of anything prescribed. If in all your earnest efforts and methods of administering it your pony seems to get a way not to take it—from leaving just the pills and eating up everything else in her feeding box to gulping it down and spitting it out as soon as you turn around—then there just could be a sound reason why.

If you have been coaching a specific mare for some time now, then you know she has her own temperament—but her hardheadedness isn’t due to merely a peculiarity in her disposition. Trust her instincts like she is doing, and you will see. If she indicates a certain bent to eat more of a particular feed, then let her do so. You might be shocked she gets better on her very own choice of feed even without the drugs. Or she might take the medication when she’s going through the indicators of her illness, and hates it when she’s not. Obviously, she knows what’s helping her along when she’s ill and when it’s required.

Just as a pony trained for sport affords you the advantage of easy and delightful riding, you can at least afford them their right to trust their instincts.

What You Should Know AboutSwamp Fever

February 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Ever heard about swamp fever? The correct term for this major horse infirmity is Equine Infectious Anemia, or EIA, and it’s much more major than just anemia. Though occurring in far less frequency than it probably did many years ago, this illness remains one of the most lethal and most severe among known equine illnesses.

The Virus:The pathogen that causes EIA is sort of unique, as it is the first of its kind for which a special condition is defined: antigenic drift. This basically means the pathogen can freely change its form to become untouched by antibodies—basically incurable. More bad news: EIA is passed on by insects such as horse flies and deerflies, as well as instruments that can carry affected blood from one horse to another.

Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Prescription:EIA has 3 stages: the acute stage, the subacute stage, and the protracted stage. In the acute stage symptoms appear—listlessness, swelling belly, chest or legs, fever, and loss of appetite. There are examples where the pony could go on to show no symptoms a month after she’s infected. Even basic drills like horse riding would be inadvisable, as after diagnosis the pony should be kept away from other horses in isolation, and in some states mercy killing is the prescription. Besides, infected steeds wouldn’t have the energy for equestrian sport anyways. 2 to 4 weeks after initial symptoms show, as much as 50% of steeds with EIA die. Those that do survive acute stages enter the prolonged stage, where more fevers, weight loss, and the anemia sets in. Diagnosed steeds may appear healthy, but can easily fall prey to the illness in a year, and symptoms can resurface when under stress.

The Coggins ‘ Test: A 95% accurate way to test horses for EIA is thru the Coggin’s test, developed in the 1970’s by Doctor Leroy Coggins. As the virus changes its form to be all but invincible to antibodies, identifying the pathogen in tests is most unlikely, so what the Coggins ‘ test does is identify the presence of antibodies that are meant to fight the EIA virus. When tested and an adequate presence of EIA antibodies are found, then the pony in under investigation is diagnosed being with swamp fever.

Precautionary Measures: While different states have different laws referring to EIA and its preventive measures and measures to be taken when a steed is diagnosed with it, pretty much all states require isolation of your horses. Aside from government bodies ‘ cares though, an equestrian should also:

-Dispose used needles and never share them between horses and always sterilise tools after use.

-Use pesticides and other effective insect control methods, as well as keep stables and stalls and other enclosures clean and hygienic.

-Quarantine and don’t breed horses that are infected, unhealthy, or under suspicion of having EIA.

-Always have Coggins ‘ test performed for events and places where horses will co-mingle.

-Keep new horse species away from the rest till a negative Coggins ‘ test result.

-Follow laws of the state about EIA.

EIA is one of the most substantial disorders that may end the career of an otherwise proficient pony, and there are worse implications to having the infirmity than easy retirement. Therefore , one crucial task of an equestrian is to guarantee her horses are kept away from the suffering that EIA can inflict.
