Animal Care California - Simple Guide To Taking Care Of Your Horse

By Betty Bell


If you are a horse lover, it is indeed one of your main responsibilities to take care of the animal and give him his basic needs as well as some extra loving care. In fact, even before you get a horse, you have to make sure that you can indeed do the responsibility of taking care of them. If you want a healthy and a good-performing horse, then you have to make caring for your horse a priority. If you are looking for the proper ways in Animal Care California, here are a few that you might find useful regarding caring for a horse.

When our children get their hands on a kitten or puppy, they are overwhelming. They start whining and begging ("pleeeease? You won't have to do anything, I'll take care of it, and I'll feed it and walk it..."). Course, we do have to consider whether our family has the time and resources to give this small pet its best chance at a good, rewarding life.

However, before you groan at the prospect of vet bills and chewed-up slippers, think of all the things that our children can learn from taking care of pets. Being patiently taught how to care for a pet can foster the kind of empathy and responsibility in a child that can prevent pet abuse from happening in the future.

Pain, obesity, bad habits, stiffness, etc. All have reasons for manifesting in the body. The reason veterinarians (and doctors) cannot cure these things is they don't realize that every person (including animals in the definition of person) have different sources for their problems. Though many have the same or similar symptoms, the cause is different for each, and no magic bullet exists to cure all.

Provide them wider space to graze. The animals need a wide space for them to graze. If you want to raise a number of them, your space should be one of your first considerations. If you want to raise more than one horse, then you must consider having enough space for them. Make sure as well that your pasture is free from holes that may injure them. You can fence It to protect your horses as well.

Make it clear that the less pleasant duties will be shared by all. Yes, this means housebreaking duties. Small kittens still need to learn about the litter box, and puppies are notoriously prone to accidents. If a child isn't willing to do the icky stuff like clean the litter box and pick up the accidents, they are not doing their duty by their pet. Remind them that they wore diapers when they were little, but animals don't get to do that.

Caring for the horse also mean providing him with the right bedding. You should not let them stand the entire day. Of course, it will also need some rest. Putting straw on the barn or his stable is one thing you can do to provide him with some bedding for them to lie down.

Better still, what if you never had time to cuddle or play with them? To kids, the idea that their caregiver, the one who is supposed to love them best, would do any of those things is unthinkable. However, they can grasp that they are the caregivers and love-givers to their pet, and should no more do those things to an animal than a parent would do them to a child.
