Horses are their happiest out in the open, in the wild or if tamed, in the pastures. Light injuries do not require any major attention, and will cure with the horses still in the open. However , an abnormally grievous complaint can also require the pony be restricted to a stall. The big issue with confinement of horses, especially if it tends to stretch out for a substantial period, is the horses can develop ulcers or unacceptable habits like cribbing and weaving.
I have 11 ideas for you to keep a pony contented even when under confinement.
1. It would be better if the stall were made in just such a way the pony can see out in all directions.
2. It'd be preferable if the horse had company in the form of one more pony or other animal close at hand.
3. Have some hay right in front for the horse to access when he feels like it. If you believe he's going to over-indulge himself, get him a feed net so the rate of his feeding is radically slowed down.
4. Scale back the grain feed component by as much as half, but let supplements stay as they were.
5. Hurry along your horse's recovery by giving him some extra nourishment and digestive help. For this purpose, I personally favour Simplexity Essentials. I also like to give Xango or Noni juice because of their anti-oxidant potential. You may also consider KLPP, probi and Fastrack digestive products.
6. Hang up some balls and lick toys within his reach so he has something to keep him busy. See if you can identify his favourite diversifications, some horses like cones and balls with handles.
7. You can keep your horse calm by adding Rescue Cure, the essential nature of flower, to his water. Chamomile is another homeopathic cure that is superb for relaxing horses.
8. If he gets sensitive or refuses to feed, it can be a sign of ulcers. You can prevent or heal ulcers with Succeed or UF. You can try green clay, aloe or slippery elm.
9. If your pony is very high-spirited, you can try relaxing herbs like Relax Mix.
10. Give your pony hand walks as many times as you can every day. Let him out so he can see other horses at work or at graze. This can boost his spirits a good deal. Keep him limber and honed with some ground exercises.
11. Make sure your pony is kept happy with body work, which can also benefit him by helping avoid compensatory muscle seizures of the kind that can result in more lameness.
With these steps, you can greatly benefit performance horses also, as they may have to be confined with more frequency. According to research, the prospects of ulcers are really high with confinement, and therefore , you should try to keep your horse as relaxed as your are able to. If he develops vices during his confinement, they may persist even when he's set free.
And here is a special bonus you can derive from your horse's enforced confinement. You've a great chance to build your bond with him, so use it. Groom him, scratch him wherever it satisfies, talk to him. All that bonding is going to pay off when your pony is free of confinement again and you are with him.
