Dr Dennis Rach DVM , From Moore Equine Veterinary, has very kindly written about why Horse and Pony owners should think about using a nibblenet for feeding hay.

Both the musculoskeletal and digestive system of the horse evolved over millennia to adapt to the grasslands.

 The ideal situation for a horse is to be able to “graze” for approximately 16 to 18 hours per day. The horse’s stomach secretes acid continuously and the acid is well buffered in the stomach if the horse is grazing for a good part of the day.

 I recommend the Nibble Net to horse owners who are not able to place their horses in a situation where they can be in an environment which is close to natural grazing. Chronic obesity from excessive feed intake, often associated with laminitis, and stomach ulcers which can be associated with a lack of small continual intake of hay are two common problems seen in stabled horses. The Nibble Net allows horses to eat small amounts of hay over a long period of time and helps to address these two important management problems.

A male horse needs to have his sheath and penis cleaned periodically. It is an unsavory, but necessary task. Most breeding stallions are probably washed often enough during breeding season, but they might not get proper attention during the rest of the year. Stallions that are pasture-bred could easily get ignored, but geldings are the ones who most often have problems. An accumulation of dirt and excretions called smegma builds up in the area, and must be removed. Mares experience the same affliction between their udders.

One of the first signs you may see, if your horse has dirty genitals, is tail rubbing. There can be several reasons for tail rubbing, but if you worm regularly and are not plagued by parasites such as lice, a dirty udder or sheath should be high on your list of suspects. Routine genital cleaning is recommended then you won't have to wait for these symptoms, once every 2 or 3 months is the suggested routine.

Many gelding owners, who think they cleanse their horses adequately, are overlooking an important part of the chore. There is a pouch in the end of the penis that sometimes causes serious trouble because people simply do not know about it. It needs to be cleared out each time the sheath and penis are washed. Usually the pouch will have one or more small lumps or beans of smegma in it. They are frequently shaped like a jelly bean and are about the same size, sometimes, they are as large as walnuts. If the pouch has been neglected for a long period of time, you might find things that will really surprise you.

Heartland Saddlery's staff has extensive knowledge and experience in this field. Please do not hesitate to contact us to book your appointment before the busy show season.
