To Blanket Your Horse or Not to Blanket … That Is the Question

by

Horse Blanketing

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right.”  ~ Thomas Paine (Introduction to Common Sense 1776)

Have you ever thought about why people blanket their horses in the winter?  If you question and explore this practice, you may be surprised by what you’ll learn.

Blanketing horses in the winter is a common horse keeping practice when it starts to get a little chilly outside.

Yes, you heard me right, a little chilly.

During the first onset of colder weather I notice many horses with their flashy blankets on.  Since I live in the middle of one of the larger horse areas in the country, I don’t have to drive far before I spot one or two horses like this.

The Equine Scratcher Product Review

by

Equine Scratcher
You probably have horses that love to scratch as much as ours do.  Sometimes they get so focused on the itch that they lose sight of the fact (actually they probably don’t care) that they are pulling their manes and tails out in the process of the scratch.

Well, a company called Two Fair Mares has a solution and it’s called the Equine Scratcher.

A few months ago, Two Fair Mares sent Soulful Equine a letter via snail mail.  Since so few companies contact others that way anymore, it certainly made theirs stand out in the crowd.  We had seen their Equine Scratcher product in an online catalog and thought it looked like a very interesting product and made a mental note to find out more.

3 Key Ingredients to a Naturally Healthy Horse

by

3 Key Ingredients
Like so many organizations, Soulful Equine has a vision and we work each day to stay true to that vision in everything we do.

In my earlier article, Integrity Breeds Trust And Loyalty, I said that according to Wikipedia, one way to tell if someone has integrity is to see if “they behave according to the values, beliefs and principles they claim to hold.”

It’s a tall order, and we at Soulful Equine strive for it daily.

We have core principles, and we write about these principles and our experiences in hopes that people will find something useful that gets them one step closer to helping their horses thrive despite domestication.

7 Warning Signs That Your Horse Keeping Is Inferior

by

Warning signs
What’s the first horse keeping practice that benefits the overall health of your equine companion?

Imagine that you’ve just walked out to your barn or you’ve arrived at your boarding facility excited to spend time with your horse.  She whinnies for you and as you approach her stall she tries so hard to stick her cute nose through the bars to greet you.

As you pull her out of the stall, she steps out somewhat stiff as she usually does.  You don’t think anything of it because you’re use to this and you may even think it’s normal.

As equine caregivers, we often wonder if what we’re doing for our equine companions is in their best interest.

Could it be possible that your horse keeping is inferior and your equine partner is trying to tell you something?  What your horse is probably trying to tell you is that you’re breaking the first rule of natural horse care.
