If you gave a horse more apples and carrots would he need the salt block?
@Proequinegrooms4 күн бұрын
Probably not, as the amount of salt they need per day isn't relative to the sugars they eat. However, if you feed too many sugars, you may end up spending more money on vet bills for an overweight horse or one that develops insulin resistance. Food for thought as they say!

@Proequinegrooms13 күн бұрын
If you use a noseband, you can check across the nasal bone that it's loose enough. You don't have to get rid of it all together, just be sure it gives enough room.

Thank you what a great informational video and a good explanation. What about when grasses and pastures are brown in the winter but there’s no snow cover yet? Sain Foin and grass is what we have and after one of my horses put on too much weight quickly this fall, we’ve been very careful. They alternate morning and late night with grazing times as well as hey nets so we know approximately how much they are eating. But how much sugar and how much nutrients are in dormant pastures usually? They finish their night hey nets by midnight usually and then go seven or eight hours without food. I just wonder how safe night turn out would be for them as a better option when it’s only 10° and they’ve already finished their forage. I wonder how to tweak their schedule so they can have more safe turn out time. I would rather not use a grazing muzzle on all night I think
@Proequinegrooms13 күн бұрын
Its really hard to pinpoint how much sugar is in dormant pasture. But it's really easy to find out your horse's risk of laminitis and colic. Once you understand how "at risk" your horse is, then you can adjust accordingly. And generally speaking, cold nights and brisk mornings tend to increase sugars, and warmer afternoons lower them, but when it's cold all the time and snow is coming, who really knows. Offering hay with slow feeders is always a good idea, and may be easier for horses to eat in the cold weather anyway.

@ thanks! It’s been such a big year of learning with these guys. There’s so much more to learn, a lifetime! But I feel like we’ve come such a long way, and have happy healthy horses. And they really do love when I go out there to give them hay bags. ☺️ I think I’ll get in touch with the university extension office and get our pasture tested during the different seasons this year, just to see what the differences are. It’s such fascinating science, and there’s so much more to it than I ever realized! I adore learning about it all.

I don't think so, some sketchy companies actually sell them as supplements. I would simply cover them up with a layer of shavings! You also don't need to bury spots with them, only a sprinkle or two is good.

Can you explain what you mean by matching the blades to the coat?
@ProequinegroomsАй бұрын
Sure! Trimmers have tiny blades that won't go through a winter coat. Body clippers have blades that work for most winter coats, and shears have blades that go through the thickest of coats. Each type of clipper, be it shears, regular clippers, or trimmers, have blade options that let you leave different amounts of hair. For example, the #10 on body clippers leaves 1.8 mm of hair, but the #7F leaves 4mm. So pick the best clippers and blades for how thick the coat is and how much hair you want to leave on your horse.

Those are stretches that your vet should give you. The hind legs are so complicated and interact with the spine and pelvis, so you want to be sure you are doing the right ones for your horse. Your vet can also help with meds, which are safe to help pain.

You can certainly try! I think the best way is to make a stencil from a cereal box, the cardboard is the perfect thickness. I suspect chalk would gum up the blades. Using a marker gives you an outline without the dust, so that's an option, too.
