Every Northern equestrian knows what this means #horsesgonewild #hangonson

What can I say but THANK YOU!!!! Even through the toughest days of the lockdowns you have supported Equi-Health Canada in attending clinics in person or throu...gh virtual platforms to help you build the skills to care for your horses & recognize not only the signs of trouble that you need professional help, but what to do for your horses until help can arrive. You have ALSO helped SEVERAL local businesses all at the same time. You have helped the barn owners where you board by noticing and addressing issues before they become emergencies, thank you! You have supported the local tack stores where we buy our supplies for clinics, thank you! The printer where our manuals are published is another small business trying to stay afloat, thank you! In kind, we are able to continue to build our business, to support our local charity & community events, and to further our education so we can pass this along to you as relatable as possible in our course offerings. If you've been needing to come to clinic but money is tight cause you're also running a small equine business - pm me - we can probably barter right? When was the last time you asked #amazon or #google to support your horse show? #ThankYouMonth. #shoplocal See more

Circle Workout, this exercise is ridden in walk, trot and canter.

IS YOUR HORSE FED APPROPRIATELY? How's this for a visual you won't soon forget? This is how much stomach acid a horse's body produces each day. Two standard buc...kets full. Why does this matter? Your chosen feeding practices can have a direct impact on whether this stomach acid is beneficial to the horse's well-being, or not. Horses produce saliva when they chew; the more the horse chews, the more saliva is produced. If horses have access to ad-lib forage (hay or pasture), they will produce two buckets of saliva each day. Saliva serves a few purposes in the digestion process, one of which is to help buffer stomach acid. On the other hand, horses who are fed set feedings, with imposed fasting in between, have greatly limited chew time. They can't produce this same volume of saliva. The horse's stomach is relatively small, and only lined with a protective coating on the lower two-thirds. Excess and 'unemployed' acid can splash up onto the unprotected top third of an empty stomach, resulting in pain, ulcers, and psychological distress for the horse. Such discomfort is a common cause of aggression at feeding time. Regardless of the amount of chew time a horse has each day, his body still produces these two buckets of stomach acid 1.5 litres every hour, 24 hours a day. It is our responsibility as the horse's caretaker to maximize 'chew time', and feed the horse as they have evolved to eat. What can you do to increase your horse's chew time, balancing out these buckets so-to-speak? PS. If your horse has metabolic issues, consult with a qualified equine nutritionist to find a hay with an appropriate nutritional profile that can be consumed ad lib. And watch how you carry those buckets!

Do you think that dressage is more complicated to teach then other equestrian sports? What would your riders say?
