How To Make Certain That Your Horses Are Healthy

How To Make Certain That Your Horses Are Healthy


by Steven James


Although there is no guarantee that a horse will never get sick, one could prevent this from happening by ensuring that they keep their horses healthy and in good condition. One of the ways to achieve this is by making sure that stress is minimized.

It is common to find a highly distressed animal in the midst of a playful pack. A lot of stress will lead to other issues in the animal such as: diarrhea, depression and ulcers to name but a few. The problem if left unchecked could easily lead to a weak immune system.

In order to relive stress, ensure that you provide a companion in the case of a solitary horse. Also, one should be patient with his animal especially during training or when riding her. When it comes to exposing her to new experiences, one should ensure that this is done gradually and not at once.

It is important that annual vet exams are carried out on your farm animals. This must be done regardless of whether the animal appears fine or not. Even though a horse may appear to be doing just fine, a vet exam may reveal that there is a lurking disease which should be taken care of.

To prevent horses from catching some deadly diseases, one should make certain that they are vaccinated each year. A number of these diseases are: influenza, West Nile virus and tetanus. A vet will reveal to you whether there are other diseases that you should watch out for depending on your location.

In order to keep your animals healthy, one should ensure that they feed quality food to them. A critical piece of diet that should never be ignored is roughage. This can be found in pasture and hay. When it comes to buying roughage, ensure that you keep away from cheap commercial feed and hay.

Horse's teeth should be filed frequently. Due to the similar types of feed that these animals feed on, it is common to find that their teeth are unevenly worn out. To combat this, a vet should be called regularly to file these teeth. When doing this, he or she will also be able to spot any other issues in the mouth.

Hooves are another important area that should be taken care of. When they are damaged, one cannot be able to ride his horses. This is why it is necessary to perform hoof care on these animals. Ensure that you pick a good farrier to be doing this.
