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.

Such Is the Real Nature of Horses: Horse Behavior at a Deeper Level

February 25, 2011 by Stephanie Krahl

Robert Vavra
When the first horse came into your life, did you realize the importance of understanding equine behavior?  I don’t know about you, but it didn’t cross my mind.

I’ve had a special connection with horses since I was just a toddler.  There’s always been this feeling that runs so deep inside of me that I’ve never been able to fully describe.

Throughout my journey with horses, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from some of the best equine behaviorists in the country.  Not only do they understand horse behavior, they also share that same “deep-rooted feeling” for horses.

The more I learn, the more I realize that fully understanding horses always goes back to the fundamentals.  Nowhere else have I seen Mother Nature’s core principles demonstrated as well as in the beautiful, educational documentary by Robert Vavra, Such is the Real Nature of Horses.

Paddock Paradise Book Review – A Guide to Natural Horse Boarding by Jaime Jackson

September 18, 2010 by Stephanie Krahl

Paddock Paradise
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.

The First Rule of Natural Horse Care

August 31, 2010 by Stephanie Krahl

The Horses of Soulful EquineThe Horses of Soulful Equine

When you think of a domesticated horse, how do you picture it?  What does its surroundings look like?

The average person may picture a healthy equine in a comfortable stall sticking her head out the door to say hi.  The barn she lives in is immaculate and doesn’t even smell like horses live there.

Or…

You may picture horses grazing on lush green pastures where they look happy, fat and perfectly content.

Traditional boarding situations that include keeping horses in stalls, small paddocks or grazing on lush green pastures, is different than natural boarding.

Horse Health – Truth Revealed

August 24, 2010 by Stephanie Krahl

Truth Revealed

Sometimes common sense trumps empirical evidence.
– Dr. Mercola

What does “healthy as a horse” really mean?  If you want a healthy horse who do you believe?

Just imagine yourself in a situation, like Scrooge, in the movie A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.  No… I don’t mean imagine being “like Scrooge”, in the beginning he was not very kind, but imagine you have the ability to see the past, present and future when it comes to horse health… and so your journey begins.
