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.

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.

When I first started down the natural hoof care route in 2002, I struggled with the concept of creating more movement for my horses. I hated confining them to a “dry lot” and I couldn’t allow my laminitic-prone horse out on a big pasture with lush green grass.
I know that feeling of being torn between my horse not getting enough movement and the danger of turning her out on pasture during high-risk times of the year.
As I’ve stated in many of my previous articles, movement is the number one ingredient to a naturally healthy horse and especially for healthy hoof form.

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.
