Equine Services, Facilities and Products

Domestication of the horse has deprived them of a lot of their innate ability to survive unassisted, leading to various equine issues. We therefore have an obligation to take care of the species we have bred into dependency and to treat them with respect. We seek comments on horse care, including the world of natural horse care, that will emphasize the importance of ethical treatment of horses as well as being a more practical guide that will aid in making many important decisions. We want to hear about equine services, facilities and the products you may have encountered. We hope those seeking information can view the experiences described here and take advantage of the knowledge offered. By doing so, this site will cover an array of elements horse caretakers of all aspects can consider. Please use this site as a handy tool to become resourceful and enlightened in meeting your horse’s needs.

The most important factor to consider is recognizing and responding to your horse’s individuality. Different horses have different characteristics and requirements. Remember that your horse will have to live with the decisions you make and the circumstances you impose. Our equine partners deserve the best care we can offer. ​

We should graciously provide five fundamental freedoms to a horse since we choose to interject ourselves into their lives. There are freedoms the species must acquire, from humans, in order to remain "healthy" mentally, physically and emotionally. In addition, we should have an informed, educated and humane philosophy that truly serves as a guide every horseman should use in attaining an ethical partnership and a well-maintained horse.

 

THE FIVE FREEDOMS for the DOMESTICATED HORSE ​ 

Freedom from hunger and thirst by allowing access to fresh water and a complete diet to maintain a healthy vigorous horse ​

--------​ 

Freedom from discomfort by providing the appropriate surroundings including a safe and secure environment, adequate shelter and a comfortable resting area ​

-------- 

Freedom form pain, injury or disease by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment ​

-------- 

Freedom to express normal behavior by providing ample liberty, the proper facilities and company of the animal's own kind

​-------- 

Freedom from fear and distress by ensuring conditions and treatment, which avoid mental, physical and emotional suffering ​ ​

The attitude expressed in the 5 freedoms provides doors to entering the world of the horse. Open them and your journeys will be endless roads filled with intrigue and gratification, for both you and your horse.
