Vital Information Concerning Horse Care

By Samuel Wright


Horses are very important animals when it comes to racing and association with the high class personality in society. Usually, they are allied to rich people and tycoons. In order for them to maintain such status, horse care is a must in all the aspects concerning health, grooming and exercise. This is not cheap.

The skin has to be well treated and groomed. The outside appearance of this animal is known to tell a lot concerning this person. Caring for this area of their body entails regular washing of the skin using the recommended products such as spot removers, repellents and shampoo. These ones keep the hairs shinny and good looking.

On the grooming aspect, a brush is mandatory. Here, the caretaker brushes the hairs of this animal on a regular basis as a way of keeping off parasites such as ticks, bedbugs and lice. They are commonly found in long dirty hairs.

The hooves require regular clean up. This is due to their ability in harboring a lot of mud while galloping. Others are known to incur injuries during exercising. If this mud is left to accumulate, it creates a suitable area for thriving of infectious fungi and yeast parasites and this could result into diseases.

What needs to be done by these owners is to ensure the mud is removed after every session of racing or exercising using clean water and disinfectants. Once this has been done, a powder should be applied in order to keep the place free from moisture. Seeking assistance from a vet is very helpful.

With horse care, food and water supply needs to be in plenty. The respective quantity for each of this is twenty pounds and eight gallons. Recommendation is that other than providing two meals, it is better to allow them to graze on natural grass for an entire day. This is their minimum suggested diet.
