Don’t Read This If You Shoe Your Horse

October 6, 2012 by Stephanie Krahl

Medieval TimesMedieval Times

Think back for a moment. What caused you to believe that barefoot is best for your horse?

I bet that once you invoked your critical thinking skills, and became knowledgeable about the subject, there was no turning back. As a result, you realized you had to learn continuously, become a thinker and a problem solver.

Since you believe bare is better for your equine partner, do you occasionally run into someone who thinks you’re high on drugs? Crazy? A tree hugger?

At first, human nature takes over – your ego surfaces and you’re ready for battle.

Once the dust settles, you take a step back to see things from their point of view. Plus, you were once in their shoes (no pun intended).  You think, “They love their horse, too.”

July 5, 2012 by Stephanie Krahl

Common Sense
Have you ever compared a picture of a domesticated horse to one of her wild counter-parts?

Can you tell which horse is wild and which isn’t at first glance?

I can easily spot a picture of a wild horse. There’s a different look about them that’s not superficial or defeated and doesn’t cry “my spirit is gone.”

What is a Wild Horse Model?

July 5, 2012 by Stephanie Krahl

Wild Horse Model
A common term that floats around natural horse care circles is wild horse model.  Put simply, it means modeling an environment for the domesticated equine that mimics that of a wild horse’s habitat.

This concept can vary because there’s no “one” wild horse model. There are models which are more optimal for the domesticated horse, but there isn’t just one.

What Is Natural Horse Care?

July 5, 2012 by Stephanie Krahl

Natural HorseCare
Natural horse care has become a popular approach for maintaining a healthy, vibrant equine whose dignity and spirit are also fully intact.

These three areas – health, dignity, and spirit – are rarely balanced in the domesticated equine, especially if the human has competitive goals.
