Tips & Info


~~~
The average horse
consumes 12 gall-
ons of water a
day, so change his
water frequently.

~~~
Clean your horses
hooves along with
each grooming and
after each ride
(especially after
trail rides or 
riding on rough
terrain).

~~~
Chips and cracks
in the hooves are
a sign of dryness.
Applying special
hoof oil can help
treat and prevent
this.

~~~
Most horses like
the taste of 
paint. This is 
why it you need
to use lead-free
paints on your
fences and stall
doors.

~~~
Don't give an
over-heated horse
excessive amounts
of water. Wait
until he is cooled
down, instead.

of condition, irregularity of the bowels, and some-
times even colic.

If your normal paste wormer fails, your veteranarian 
should give your horse something to rid him of the
annoying parasites.
