Another Emmet4Horses session. This was on my grazers horse.

Notice the eye & nose level before & after. The short video shows the moment the brain/muscular system catches up with one another. It was a brilliant moment to watch on video!

One week on and we're still rocking have the "new" level. Plus, the owner tells me that she isn't quiding anymore! Win/win 🐴❤️

⚖️⚖️ NUTRITIONAL NEWS ⚖️⚖️

The 3️⃣ F’s
These encompass the basis of horse care, nutrition and health (in no particular order).
✔️FORAGE
✔️FRIENDS
✔️FREEDOM

As well as the 3️⃣ F’s, I also like to include 2️⃣ S’s.
✔️Safety
✔️Shelter

🌿🌿FORAGE – grass, hay, bailage. This should be the basis of any horses diet. There should be long stem FORAGE readily and easily accessible. Slow feed (small hole) hay nets and strip grazing are useful for the good doers to assist with trickle feeding.
▶️Horses are trickle feeders (a little and often)
▶️Horses will only create saliva when they masticate (chew food)
▶️Acid is continuously created in the horses stomach, 24/7
▶️Saliva helps to neutralise the stomach acid (reducing the risk of ulcers)
▶️Forage is digested in their hindgut by fermentation by the good bacteria
▶️B group vitamins (including biotin) are by products of fermentation which are a major influencer of brain and nervous system function

🐎🐎FRIENDS – horses are herd animals, relying on the other members of their herd for protection, mental stability, companionship and social development.
▶️Reduce stress
▶️Encourage movement, play and grooming
▶️They get REM sleep as they know others in their herd are on watch for any dangers.

🛤️🛤️FREEDOM – allows them choice, movement and self exercise
▶️Promotes natural movement
▶️Helps with fitness
▶️They can perform their normal behaviours of rolling and scratching
▶️Help with their mental stability.

⚠️⚠️SAFETY – our horses have a right to be safe in their paddocks. Safe from paddock obstacles, poisonous plants, other horses and sometimes, sadly humans.
▶️Do a walk through of your paddocks checking fencing, branches, holes, plants
▶️Horses have a hierarchy, whether in a herd or paddocked over the fence, one will be dominate over the other, by understanding the hierarchy you can help to provide a less stressful living situation.

🛖🛖SHELTER – includes sheds, trees, hills and covers. Shelter encompasses being able to have protection from rain, wind and sun.
▶️Horses will shiver to generate warmth, their hair can stand on end trapping warm air (if not wet)
▶️They can warm their core by reducing the blood flow to their legs and ears
▶️Feed hay, the generation of heat is another by-product of fermentation

The level of the 3️⃣ F’s and 2️⃣ S’s is very much dependent on the individual horse, their location and what you as an owner are able to provide due to financial costs, availability of products and the equipment you have.

There is no “one size fits all”

Well......2025, a rollercoaster of a year in all the ways you don't want or need a rollercoaster.

Despite my year, I hope that all of you have had a brilliant year with your equine partners and I truly look forward to being involved in 2026 and helping you all, from pole lessons, to equine diets, to Emmett.

Merry Christmas everyone, stay safe and enjoy!

‼️TEMPORARY ARENA CLOSURE DUE TO ROAD WORKS‼️
So.....we have road works happening for 2 weeks - they are redoing the entire road....consequently, Boundary Road is closed to residents only, so I have made the decision to temporary close the arena until Friday 28th November.
You will still be able to access the booking page to book after Friday 28th. Here's hoping we will end up with a decent flat and pothole free road for many moons to come!!
