 Finding a great equestrian rack! Feeding horses - part 2 -2

Running a stable rack has a lot of costs. To effectively manage an object, you need to manage your expenses and income. Some of the cost management problems include managing hay fields for horses, bedding for tents and staff. Reasonable wrestling horses must understand these problems in order to provide their horses with the best level of care for money.

If you are a rider who wants to ride his horse, you should think about the care and quality of the horse set on which you want to keep you on the horse. I recommend giving the ranch a call at the weekend to schedule a visit. A short notice on a Saturday in the middle of the day is better, since you want to visit and see the worst scenario. Saturday is usually the busiest days for a barn. What to consider when you enter a stable or horse barn, take a deep breath. Do you smell ammonia? If so, then the kiosks are probably not well preserved, and they had ur. In a day in the heat, the horse’s urine gives off an ammonia smell. Ammonia is not good for your horse's health.

Then look at the horse stall. Do you see missing boards, mats that are flat, nails or safety issues? Look at the amount of shaving in the stall. Is it enough for your horse to sleep?

Is the barn well kept? Is there any cobwebs or trash around electricity or lighting. Or the barn is clean, the doors work, the cab pillars are well preserved, the lift areas are clear. If so, this is probably a good indicator of the level of care your horse will receive.

Then take a look at the weight of the horses that are already mounted on the object. Are they in good physical condition? Check to see if their coats glittered and that they do not show ribs. Ask to visit a barn for hay. Take a look at the hay that feeds. Ensure hay bales contain weeds or molds. Remove the hay flake to check and see that it has mold, and it is kept away from rain.

Ask what kind of hay cuttings the barn owner buys and where they get the hay from. Is this a local authority box or feed store? Ask about cutting alfalfa. At our ranch, we never feed the first or second fraction of alfalfa or alfalfa, since it is usually too high in protein and may contain toxic weeds. The first and second cuttings are usually used for cattle, and the protein level can make the hormones excessively excessive and give them too much energy.

Check out hay, weeds, or other health problems in the area where you will be located. Talk to your local veterinarian or agricultural advisor. For example, in our district in California, Yolo County, we also have an additional problem with feeding alfalfa hay and our hard water that creates enterolyphs in horses. They are also called stones. In this area of ​​California, we need to feed only one portion of alfalfa hay to be safe and keep horses from developing stones, which often lead to colic surgery over time. Barns in our area, as a rule, feed part of alfalfa mixed with grass, fruit herbs, oatmeal or carob herbs.

Another problem for this area is caused by a weed called Groundsel. It is toxic to horses and can accumulate in their systems over time. This usually occurs during the first and second cutting of hay, which has not been processed by extensive leaf prevention. An example of this shy recommendation is that it was so important that we had barns in our area, hay containing this weed, and lost all the horses in the barn. Since he is settled out of court, he usually does not cover the news.

After the horses have consumed about 3 pounds of this weed, it creates health problems and toxicity that cannot be undone. This weed imitates dandelion weed in color and a white ottoman at the end. I always take our hay to test and inspect our hay through the California Food Safety Laboratory for testing, to see the protein content and to ensure that we do not have weeds that could damage horses placed on the ranch. There are other weeds characteristic of the areas in which people live, contact your local farm advisor for more information. It is good to do some research on hay available in your area, and that shed owners will feed your horses.
