Sweet Itch, What Is It and How Do I Treat It?
Most companion animals cohabit with horses well on a horse farm. Animals like dogs, cats, goats and chickens can live with horses, provided their owner knows how to care for them and spot potential problems before they happen. There are some animals you don’t want living with your horse. Here’s a look at unwanted stable mates that can move in and cause trouble.
Having a healthy, well organized equestrian property is the best way to raise horses and enjoy riding them. So, it should come as no surprise that experienced horse owners take a lot of time and care in order to pick the right one. And, while you can organize an equestrian property in different ways, there are certain factors that always play a role in how good it actually is. So, to help you wrap your mind around it, we are going to take a closer look at what people usually look for in an equestrian property.
You may state horse riding is an easy task. Well, we wouldn’t say so. Any professional equestrian, in fact, would confidently say it needs concentration and an ability to control your body. Coordination is key. You need to watch the rein pressure together with your leg pressure and control the posture simultaneously. When on the horse, there is no steering wheel to direct the animal, and all the more there is no safe belt to fixate you tightly on the saddle. Even if the horse attempts to kick you off, you need to develop a high level of body awareness and find a way to support yourself.

Which Is the Ideal Arena Surface?
Well, the ideal arena surface is somewhere in between too hard and too soft. If the arena surface is too soft, it makes the horse work harder and so its muscles can easily become fatigued. This can only lead to muscle injuries, so you will want to avoid that. Instead, the arena surface must offer some resistance to let the horse easily push off.
But, a too hard arena surface can have negative consequences too. In this case, the toes of the horse cannot penetrate the surface, which can lead to an imbalance of the horse when its leg hits the surface. The angles of the joints will change and so his muscles and ligaments will be overwhelmingly burden.
