The Touching Budweiser Commercial & Classic Equine Equipment’s Role In It
Wednesday, February 06 2013
by Editor
If you watched the Super Bowl on Sunday – and even if you didn’t watch it – chances are that you’ve seen the Budweiser commercial that’s gone viral in the equestrian world since it first aired. The touching one-minute mini movie gives viewers a look into the bond between a Clydesdale colt and his breeder from birth right on through when the horse leaves the farm for training to become a member of Budweiser’s prided hitch-pulling team. The most poignant part of the commercial comes with the reunion of horse and breeder, and it’s a testament to the incredible bonds that can form between horse and human.

Barn Building 101: Stall Partitions
Thursday, January 31 2013
by Editor
While most horse owners or visitors to your stable will view and front of your horse’s stall, it’s actually the stall’s side partitions that do most of the work that keep your horse healthy and happy. You want to keep your horse secure from biting and kicking by his neighbors, but want to keep him feeling “part of the herd” by allowing him to see other horses and not feel too closed in. Before discussing what makes a good stall partition , let’s recap some of the information about overall stall design we discussed earlier: While smaller horses or ponies can get by with a 10’x10’ stall, most horses need at least a 12’x12’ stall. Warmbloods or mares with foals may require larger stalls.

Tuesday, January 29 2013
by Editor
Equine Recurrent Uveitis(ERU) is also called moon blindness, periodic ophthalmia, or iridiocyclitis. Many clients I speak to are familiar with the term moon blindness, but they don’t really understand the disease, what causes it, and how we treat it.

New Release DVD by Jochen Schleese! “Beyond the 9 points of Saddle Fitting” deals with the complexities of saddle fit, revealing potentially serious effects of ill-fitting saddles to horse and rider! Undiagnosed lameness, atrophy, ‘bad’ behavior, resistance, gait abnormalities, 4-beat canter, poor work attitude, sore/sensitive back, lacking engagement, stress lines and atrophy, repeated hock and stifle injections – all common equine issues Schleese witnesses every day.
