Do you make new years resolutions? As a horse owner you may already include your horse in your resolutions. Or is it something you've not thought of before for your horse?

We all want to do best for our animals, whether that's our horse, pony, donkey or other animal. So what can you do to make a positive change this new year? Here are five tips you can think about taking on.

5 Ways To Help Your Horse Be Happier and Healthier This Year

1. When did your horse last have a massage? Or another therapeutic treatment such as chiropractic? It's important not to wait til a problem emerges and then have to find a solution. As with people, a massage or other hands-on therapy can be relaxing. Together with helping the mind, this can help muscles and ligaments. Whether your horse is busy enjoying the field most of the time, or stabled, or exercised often. Then massage can be invaluable to help mind and body to be at their best.

2. How do you worm your horse? There's increasing evidence that chemical wormers should be used sparingly. Worm counts are an excellent way to understand more about your horse's worm burden. Together with that there are herbal options to help promote good intestinal health. Such as Verm-X. Read more about holistic equine worming here.
3. Dental care, when did your horse's teeth last get checked? Many horses, ponies or donkeys will experience some type of dental issue. These can be due to a conformational problem, age or injury amongst other causes. Getting your horse's teeth checked can be stressful. As with people, some horses don't like their mouths being looked at. Get some tips on holistic equine dental care here at my advice page.
