So funny seeing the different personalities to the dewormer. Happy to know they get a tasty treat afterwards. I'm 34 and have religiously vowed to my parents that I will have a horse before I die, haha. So great to find these kind of helpful videos. I'm most familiar with birds like chickens, but ruminant animals, I am having to do my research.

[@garypoortvliet2478]

Just so you know, horses are not ruminants. They have a relatively normal gastrointestinal tract. That is why you have to be careful what and how much you feed them. Cows and goats are ruminants, and can eat a lower quality of hay, and are more forgiving on overfeeding.

[@CraigShell-h2i]

I really want a horse but I cant

[@stupidcircle4413]

Yeah my b, ruminant is what it is. My family wants goats and possibly cows so there are those. I try to learn what I can as much as possible. Things like colic and/or bloat scares me. I know most mammals and birds well enough, but I still have plenty to learn. I hope to have that knowledge before having any.@@garypoortvliet2478

How can walk behind those horses with fear of being kicked ?

[@Dimaria-White]

"Dont skip on your horse nutricion" wel feeding 2x a day is foo little. A horse i designed to eat almost constantly. When you feed less then 3x a day there stomach acid gets too stong. I feed AT LEAST 3x a day. When my horse was still stalled at my home i fed her 5x a day. The feeding ball is a really good idea tho. It keeps your horse thinking and helps to let your horse eat slowly over a longer time. I do it with a regular bucked with holes. My horse really likes it. Also its better to ragularly get your horse checked for worms instead of deworming. I know deworming is made to not harm your horse but ive seen several times that horses get sick of too much deworming. Its poison after all and why would you give it if they dont need it. I have my horse for 3 years now and she has never had worms.

[@cw4933]

I’m wondering if you can give me a precise breakdown/summary of all the expenses. Hay, grain, farrier, deworming, etc. with rough estimates of quantity’s. I want to buy a horse but I’m having a really hard time figuring out how much it will cost monthly. I have my own place to keep it.

[@SoaringSpirit1111]

cW I will give you an idea of monthly expenses. I am purposely excluding board. I have one senior Appendix gelding, he is my rescue of 5 years. Grain/ feed. 50 lb bag 2x per month. 26.00 each. 1 3qt scoop in the morning & one at night. Alfalfa hay 21.99 per 2 string bale. One per week. 3 flakes per day. Plus his daily supplements. Figure about 150 per month on feed alone. Farrier comes every 6 to 8 weeks to trim feet. 30 dollars. Dentist 2xs per year 90 per visit. Dewormer every 3 months. 10 dollars. Vet appointment for annual vaccination. Add 100. You can add on extras. I buy good grain/ good hay & with his supplements he does wonderfully. Hope that gives you an idea.

I drive past a house on my way to Jeff City that has a pretty brown horse, but the thing that makes my blood boil is the fact that I can see it's ribs every single time. Makes me want to knock some sense into the owners of that poor thing, horses are living beings too and need to be taken good care of. Why would you have a horse just to let it become malnourished and scrawny? It don't make no sense. Makes me mad when I see cattle with scars or lesions on their face from being let loose into fields and not being looked after by the people who own the land, too. I love cats, dogs, goats, chickens, you name it. But something about cattle and horses makes me feel differently, and I'd fight someone if they knew they were mistreating their animals. Not being informed is one thing, that can always be changed and I'm liable to be much more understanding if it's clear they just didn't know and thought they were doing fine, kind of like people who own obese cats and don't know they're killing them. But I can not for the life of me stand folk who don't provide for their animals properly on purpose. Every time I see a healthy horse, a smile creeps along my face that I couldn't stifle even if I wanted to. I just love the damn things. Pretty, compassionate, and strong.

[@andresjcortez]

Just bought my first horse today from a friend with a ranch. If not for boarding qe would be screwed consider living in a neighborhood

[@BarrettHouser]

How do I get a hat like that 🔥

[@niallslivingart3592]

Great video! Can you give the horses the dewormer by somehow incorporating it into their food?

A couple horse breeds in mind I am wondering about to get. I love jumping and always have since I was young, I am looking for a new horse breed and can’t decide whether which one is best to have. The options are Oldenburg, Hanoverian, or palomino. I am pretty tall I’d say maybe around 5’9.5 /5’10which is definitely a reason for taller horse breeds. I am leaning towards a Hanoverian since my aunt is friends with a horse breeder. But I haven’t made any decisions because I’ve never have had a Hanoverian. Do you know anything about them and if they’re more difficult to deal with. My aunt currently set the gelding aside but I would love some help if you know anything?

I have some experience with some English breeds, but not much to be honest with you. What I would say for any new horse, discipline or breed that you are unfamiliar with is to go and take a lot of time around them. Just learn for a good period of time what those horses are like. Then figure out what you like and don't like about them. Every breed is a touch different and every horse within that breed is different based on how they are breed, trained and taken care of. It is all trial and error. If you are new to horse ownership all together, then I would just say find someone who is really knowledgeable about horses and spend as much time as you can picking their brain and spending time with them.

Andalusians are very awesome. Docile, intelligent and their magnificent presence.

[@BarrettHouser]

They are very cool for sure!

This is like a year late but I’ve had great experiences with Hanoverians. Every one I’ve met has had a great temperament and been an incredible, safe horse to work with. I def recommend them. But I also got a 5 year old ottb for my first horse soooo 😅

[@jaspervonbach3621]

Oldenburgs and Hanoverians are very popular German warmblood breeds used in jumping and dressage competition. Palomino is a coat color not a breed.
