<description><![CDATA[When most of us think of thrush treatments for horses, we immediately think of messy, smelly green goop that seems to end up more on us and the ground than on our horse's feet. &nbsp;Those nasty smelling traditional products that often contain toxic chemicals and metals are not the only way to tackle thrush infections. &nbsp;I have found several ways to combat thrush naturally that are just as effective, if not more so, as well as being much less expensive and more pleasant than those traditional methods and I would like to share them with you.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Following Lukas' second bout of impaction colic (due to dehydration), I became nervous about his water intake. As strong and powerful as they look, horses' digestive systems are surprisingly delicate. Unlike cattle who have several stomachs, horses have only one small stomach that functions best if never quite full and continually lubricated. Horses are unable to vomit because of a one-way valve between the esophagus and stomach, and they need a minimum of 5 - 10 gallons of water per day. Most horses will lick a salt block which then activates their thirst mechanism and things go smoothly. In Lukas' case, however, he completely ignored any type of additive blocks or electrolytes, so I used loose salt mixed in with his evening mash. I also wondered if I could teach him to drink water. Could an automatic, reflexive behavior be put on cue?]]></description>

When the horse is moving comfortably and correctly, the poll should and needs to be presented as the highest point within the 'arc' of the neck. It matters not if the horse is on a long rein or in a form of collection; the poll should be highest point. Sadly, the highest point commonly results not at the poll but at the 2nd, 3rd or 4th cervical vertebrae.]]></description>

The seasons mean more to us horses than bright scarves, new windshield wipers, the dreaded swimsuit ordeal and turning the clocks this way and that. As the days get shorter and cooler, our internal switch flips and things start to change inside us. Our coats become thicker and darker - no longer the sleek, flat look of summer and we look bundled up in our own hair. As a California horse and a Thoroughbred, I am spared a wooly mammoth likeness, however it is still an itchy and annoying mess come springtime.]]></description>

He reveled in racing the other riders and their horses up and down the hills. The time went by so quickly that before I knew it, the sun was going down and we hadn't even reached the point in our trail ride where we would be turning around and heading for home.
