If you want to keep your horse healthy and strong, here are some simple guidelines you can follow.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #003369; font-size: 14pt;\">Feed them properly.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Horses need basic nutrition like protein, vitamins, energy and water. A horse\u2019s total protein should be about 10 percent of its diet. Vitamins and minerals will most likely be in the hay it eats, given that it\u2019s good quality hay. If your horse isn\u2019t getting enough vitamins, consider a supplement. You can also give them treats like carrots or other premade goodies.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #003369;\">Groom regularly. <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To keep its coat and hooves healthy, make sure you\u2019re grooming your horse regularly. Invest in a soft brush, hard plastic brush, hoof pick and a shedding blade. These tools will keep their coats clean and shiny and their hooves free of any debris.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #003369;\">Swat away flies. Flies can be a big pain for horses. <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Have a bottle of fly spray and fly repellant ointment on hand. Horses are also prone to small cuts and minor injuries. Keeping an animal first aid kit around will keep you prepared for emergencies. Many horse owners also recommend wound powder to dry up any blood.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #003369;\">Give them shelter and space.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Horses will need shelter from extreme weather like wind, rain and sun. Make sure you have a shed or plenty of trees to help shelter them. On the other side, they also need the space to be able to run around unless exercised daily. Tethering them is only ok for short increments on time.<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few of horse\u2019s basic needs. It\u2019s always important to regularly see a veterinarian for vaccinations and other check-ups to make sure your horse is healthy. Have a plan in place in case of an emergency and even consider having your horse microchipped for identification purposes.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for ranch or farm land for your animals, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.unitedcountry.com\/\">www.UnitedCountry.com<\/a>\u00a0to view all of our available properties for sale.
