How To Deal With A Horse That Rushes Posted By: Erin Brankowski Each horse is different and you are the perfect person to try to identify why he may do this. There are, as is so very often, numerous reasons why your horse could rush, here are a few;
1. Pain
Horses will rush away from pain; it is in their genes to do so. Ill-fitting tack, sharp teeth and a bad back are all common contributory factors but luckily can all be easily remedied. A recognised saddle fitter can assist in the choice of a suitable saddle and potentially other leather work. A vet, equine dental technician and chiropractor can all be called upon to assess and help remedy other areas should you feel they need some improvement.
2. Excitement
Horses not receiving enough exercise can seem to build up a store of energy, so when you do ride they are excited to be out. A regular exercise regime, being sure to not get your horse too fit and therefore needing to maintain a much higher lever of exercise that you could continue with, will help prevent an excitable explosion of energy.

A Guide To Essential Horse Riding Clothes Posted By: Jamie Simpson Horse riding clothes needs to be practical, comfortable but yet flexible enough to let your body move with the horse. Everyday riding gear looks much different from show riding gear. Check for used riding clothes at car boot sales and tack shops. If your stable has a community poster board, post a notice for gently used horse riding clothes.
For every day riding, the bare minimum is a hardhat, footwear with a definite heel, and form-fitting jeans, jodhpurs and thick socks to minimize chafing. A T-shirt or riding blouse will do for warm days. For cold days, invest in the best riding jacket, thermals and gloves you can afford.
Jodhpurs
Jodhpurs or breeches should fit like a second skin. Gone are the days when jodhpurs billowed out along the thighs. They need to be tight in order to be both aerodynamic and not snag on branches, tack or tops of boots. In North America, jeans are acceptable for everyday riding wear, but their heavy seams may cause chafing along the legs and genitals.
Horse Riding Boots
Paddock boots - which resemble thick shoes, riding boots or even well-fitting Wellingtons with a heel all work for every day horse riding.horse riding clothes horses horse riding equestrian shopping
The Secrets Behinds Happy Horses Posted By: Erin Brankowski Horses thrive on routine and a healthy stress free environment. Keeping their environment and living habits as close to that of their predecessors throughout evolution will help with this.
Turnout
There is a general rule that horses should have about an acre to themselves of field. So if there are 5 horses in a field, the field should be roughly 5 acres. This can not always be the case but it is important not to overcrowd. Many of us do not like to turn out if the ground is wet, worrying the grazing will be ruined so it would be of benefit for an area to be created where horses can be turned out even when wet. Dedicating an area to this, you can put flooring down e.g. bark, enabling turnout whatever the weather.
Exercise
Depending on our own lives sometimes it is not always possible to exercise to the level, or for the amount of time we would like. Particularly when the nights draw in, we can be hindered in our desires to exercise our horses fully.horse health equine equestrian tips
