Posts Tagged ‘Horse Barn’

I’ve been working with a new horse at the barn, and he has a tendency to rush through lines at hyper-speed. He’s okay going into them, maybe a bit cheeky, but then he takes off after landing the first jump.

I always sit deep and try to rein him in, but he runs through my hands.

Any advice?

I am doing some research and I was wondering that. The horse barn worker would be needed for daily chores, feeding, mucking, turnout, etc. I just want to know how much they would roughly be paid an hour in a small town in Florida. Just in case this is relevant, it is about one of 2 or 3 barns in this town. Please and Thank you. =]

My horse, as well as another horse at our barn, recently recovered from an upper-respiratory infection. During his illness, he had a fever, and stopped drinking water. In this heat, and with the humidity in the South, I worried about him not getting enough fluids. I don’t know if I did something right or something wrong, but I purchased some Gatorade, and he enjoyed it. Although, he didn’t drink a vast amount. But enough to where I felt good that he had SOME kind of fluid. Does anyone know if this is bad?
Regarding the tip on feeding watermelon. My friend is doing that with her mare. If I feed it to my horse, I worried about the seeds. Should I try to remove the watermelon seeds before feeding it to him? I didn’t know if they caused a blockage in the intestinal tract somehow.

I always thought that it was safest to put your horse in a barn if it’s a really big storm. Is that true? If not, should you just leave them in the pasture with a shelter in it?
I don’t mean a hurricane. Just a big storm. I don’t have a horse of my own, but I’ve seen people do both and their horses were fine. I think I’ve decided that putting them in a barn would be better. Thanks!

A horse in my barn recently broke its leg by kicking a board in the paddock, and had to be put down. How can I prevent this from happening to other horses?

In today’s society about 20% of families in the United States own more than one horse.

Thousands of other families living in urban or suburban communities with small acres of land and some with no land at all would like to own a horse or two. Many of these families have very little to no knowledge in owning horses in the suburbs or urban horse keeping.

Owning horses or a horse can be a very enjoyable, exciting, educational experience, for the young and old. Or it can also be a dangerous unpleasant experience if the proper knowledge of horse keeping in the suburbs is not pursued previous to buying a horse.

To many people, horses are simply beautiful creatures. But prospective horse owners should look beyond the appearances and know that there are many differences to horses many different responsibilities to owning a horse in urban areas as opposed to rural & agricultural areas.

-You need to learn about buying and how to buy a horse.
- Horse care & handling
- You also need knowledge of horse equipment.

You must also have the proper facility or accommodations for your horse if you have a small piece of land. You’re going to need a proper horse barn or shed, proper turnout area or run, also how are you gonna keep your horse or horses exercised?

There are many other things to consider, such as how many horses does your community permit per acre? How are your neighbors going to react to you having a horse or horses? Are they going to be comfortable with it and the possible smell of urine & horse poop, depending on how close or far you are from their property? Another thing to think about is what are you going to do with the muck after you clean the stall or paddock? Do you have the room to compost it or are you going to need a company or someone to pick it up? Where are you going to store hay and feed? Where will you store your horse trailer if you decide you want show with your horse or do some trail riding? Lastly consider what will be the cost to keep your horse at home, for feeding and maintenance etc…?

If owning a horse in the suburbs you may want to consider boarding your horse at a local horse boarding facility so you need to consider how much that will cost you as well.
