Equine First Aid If you own or have a horse on loan you will know that minor accidents can happen easily. It is a good idea to have your own Equine First Aid Kit so that you can deal with any first aid your horse may need quickly and safely. It doesn’t need to be an expensive or elaborate kit, a few basic essentials should suffice, and it is best that you don’t keep any oral or injectable medication-this should only be given under veterinary supervision. Here is a list of the 10 most essential items for your kit:
4
Mercury or Digital Thermometer: a raised temperature is an indication that your horse has a health problem that needs attention. A thermometer is therefore a must in any medical kit. A digital thermometer will have more features than a mercury one. It may also store the last temperature taken which is useful for ongoing monitoring. Antiseptic Wound Cleaner: horses are prone to getting cuts, grazes and skin infections and there are many equine cleaners available that are ideal for cleaning these wounds to keep infection at bay.
Scissors: sharp scissors are a necessity in any first aid kit for a myriad of purposes. Also it may be an idea to have something more heavy duty for cutting wire fences and the like in case your horse becomes entangled. Clean Leg Wraps: always have a clean set of leg wraps available in your kit. These can be invaluable in an emergency so make sure you have them in addition to any you may be using on a regular basis. Gamgee Tissues, Pads, Wadding & Dressings: a range of sterile dressings for various types of wounds should be kept in a sterile condition in your kit. These can be held in place by leg wraps or bandages.
If you own Self-sticking Bandages: these are ideal for keeping dressings in place, particularly in awkward your own horse places, or to support leg wraps. These are widely available in pharmacies as well as tack shops. you will know Zinc Oxide Cream: this is useful for sunburned protects and helps heal minor cuts and that minor noses, grazes and for the treatment of Grease Heel. This cream is antiseptic and creates accidents can multi-purpose a barrier against dirt too. Available in the baby happen easily section of shops. Salts: Epsom Salts can help draw out infection and salt water can be used to wash out cuts and grazes. An effective but inexpensive way to treat your horse.
Antiseptic Cream or Ointment: this can help heal nicks, cuts, scrapes and grazes by keeping the wound clean and moist. Some creams have antiseptic, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Books: a clear, comprehensive equine first aid book will help you when you need emergency advice. Try to read up on some of the more common problems so that you’re ready for when you encounter them. Also, it’s a good idea to keep a notepad and pen for recording symptoms and temperatures, with dates and times, so that you have a clear record for the vet. Always keep your vet’s phone number clearly visible on, or inside, the kit, as well as by the stable yard phone. Being prepared means that whatever happens, you should be able to deal with it in a calm and correct manner, before getting professional help or advice.
5
All Weathers Keeping your horse comfortable whatever the temperature is important for health and welfare, and there are things you can do to make it easier.
In the summer: If you usually stable at night and turn out in the daytime, it is definitely worth considering reversing the process in the height of summer, allowing for a cooler exercise period and shade / protection from the flies during the day. Do ensure there is a field shelter or tree to provide shade if your horse is outside all day, and don’t forget to provide plenty of cool water. If you are entering any competitions and need to travel, try to leave early in the morning to avoid making the horses travel later in the day when the sun is hottest, as horseboxes can get very hot indeed, especially in traffic. Corral away from standing water, as midges and other biters breed rapidly in wet areas in the heat, which can exacerbate sweet itch if your horse is prone. Like humans, horses can burn. Patches of white are the most exposed skin, so use a suitable sun cream. Don’t forget to use insecticide in the stables to try and keep the worst at bay, and keep the mucking out up to date, with the muckheap at a safe distance from the stable.
In the winter: Good old British weather means we often have quite a diverse range of weather conditions
6
throughout our winters, from gales and storms to heavy snow and driving rain. Feed is important – a thin horse will suffer more in the cold, so make sure your horse’s diet is adequate. Access to water is equally important, as standing water may well freeze in extreme conditions, so this must be checked very regularly in case the surface has frozen. Protection for the weather is all important. Horses do grow an extra layer of hair in preparation, and the natural pattern and condition of this hair helps insulate and repel moisture rather effectively. Nonetheless, different breeds or senior horses may need extra warmth, so rugging may be advised. You will need to check this, as horses overheat very easily, and sweating beneath them can cause hair loss and skin problems, so do check under the rug on a daily basis. There are different varieties available for warmth or to keep water out – speak to your equestrian supplier about your horse and his needs. Shelter is also important. In the summer it provides shade, but a strongly built shelter can also offer protection from strong wind and driving rain for outside horses. It will need to be mucked out regularly, and if it is used often, then clean bedding should be provided.
7
Vaccinations Vaccination of your horse is important business. If you plan to show, compete or race with your horse then the governing body will require compliance with their vaccination regulations. Most horse insurers will also require regular vaccinations or your policy will be invalidated should you need to make a claim. Even if you don’t plan to enter events, vaccination is important for your horses’ health and wellbeing, as well as adding to ‘herd immunity’ and helping keep incidences of disease at a minimum throughout the UK horse population. The main diseases currently inoculated against are Equine Influenza, Tetanus, and increasingly against Equine Herpes Virus. Any one of these illnesses can be contracted by a non-vaccinated horse, and they are serious conditions which can be fatal, or leave your horse with lifelong debilitation and distress. As with human vaccinations, these are not harmful and have been extensively trialled and tested with very limited reporting of adverse reactions. Injection sites can be sore for some time after, and it might be wise to refrain from riding immediately after, but your vet should be able to advise on the best course of action.
Equine Influenza Horse flu is a highly contagious virus with a similar effect on the respiratory system to human influenza. The virus incubates rapidly, within 3 days and can spread incredibly quickly through either direct contact or contaminated environment. An outbreak is most common in
8
9
situations where large groups of horses are together in situations which can be a source of distress, like shows or auctions. The symptoms vary and can leave a horse very debilitated and can also lead to pneumonia or bronchitis, both potentially fatal. Symptoms to watch for include: • Loss of appetite • Lethargy • Nasal discharge • A persistent temperature increase • This is an evolving disease, so vaccines are regularly updated. The course of vaccinations follows standards to satisfy the requirement of the Jockey Club and is: • 2 injections 4 – 6 weeks apart • 6 month booster
10
Annual booster FEI rules also require a horse must have received a influenza booster within the past 6 months and 3 weeks before participating in an FEI competition, and both FEI and the Jockey Club will not include entry into competition of competition stables if a booster has been given within the preceding 7 day period.
Tetanus Unvaccinated horses are at serious risk from tetanus, as some 90% of unvaccinated horses who contract the disease die. Tetanus is bacterial in nature, found in soil and horse faeces. Any open wound can be susceptible, and it can also be contracted via eating contaminated material. The incubation period is between 7 and 21 days and
treatment for those who do survive is protracted and intense. Symptoms include: • Head, neck and limb stiffness • Reluctance to move • Trembling, minor spasms causing difficulty in head or neck movements, difficulty chewing, flared nostrils • Violent spasms or tremors throughout the body Vaccination follows a similar schedule to that of influenza as above, and most vets will offer the two shots as s combined injection which of course helps if your horse is nervous of shots. If it is done separately, the course is: • 2 injections 4 – 6 weeks apart • 12 month booster • Boosters every 2 years
Other vaccinations are available for • EHV – Equine Herpes Virus which causes respiratory issues, spontaneous abortion in pregnant mares and loss of condition. It is highly contagious and like flu spreads rapidly in group environments, making it important to avoid via vaccination. • EVA – Equine Viral Arteritis which is another disease which causes swelling in the legs, spontaneous abortion and respiratory problems. Spread during mating by infected stallions, this is a vaccination which is best given to all breeding stallions.

Feed
Guide Equine feed is big business, and making sure your horse is in tip top condition is something of an obsession for most owners. Horses are creatures of habit, and as they naturally spend a vast amount of time grazing and chewing fibre, they have a natural, psychological need to spend a large proportion of their time chewing. Cereal feed is much faster to chew than hay or grass. This means that good quality feed must be paired with a good amount of roughage to prevent behavioural issues such as weaving or biting and of course keep the horse out of distress. The need to spend some 75% of their time chewing also means roughage is essential to avoid colic which could strike on a cereal only diet. Chewing also acts to stimulate saliva, which is an important part of the horse’s digestive process and helps to avoid choke, so the majority of most horses calories need to come from fibre rather than grain. The saliva also helps to neutralize stomach acid and avoid possible gastric ulcers. Naturally moving slowly and grazing all day doesn’t use a huge number of calories, and grazing on hay or pasture keeps roughage moving through the digestive tract at a steady rate. This digestion also produces heat, allowing the horse to properly regulate their body temperature. Horses have relatively small stomachs, so little and often is the way with grain feed, small amounts throughout the day to ensure proper digestion and make sure the horse uses the calories in the most efficient way. Every horse has different requirements, depending on his size, what sort of work he does and how he is kept. You also need to think about how much grazing time he has, and the quality of the forage, grass or hay you are feeding. If your horse spends the majority of his time turned out
12
on good, lush pasture, then the amount of hay required will be less, whereas a horse spending a lot of time in stables will need very much more. A horse who changes activity levels will also need feed adjusting; be sure to do this gradually as changes in feed routine can lead very quickly to digestive issues, such as colic. This means it is a good idea to make sure you buy regularly and in quantity, as suddenly running out of feed means rapid change in diet. Whatever your feeding routine, make sure you measure quantities accurately, with a scale and then measure the correct amount into a suitable container to make sure you are consistent. Exercise should be avoided in the periods just before and after feeds, as the exercise will cause the circulation to divert the blood stream away from the digestive system, where it is needed to make sure food is properly processed. A full stomach can also compromise lung capacity. Evolution means that grass is eaten in small quantities and fairly easily digested, so an hour after grazing is fine, but a larger meal will take longer before exercise is recommended. Grass provides dietary fluids, whereas hay and cereal are very dry, so make sure that if the horse cannot be turned out to pasture you are adding succulent foods to the feed, apples, carrots and sugar beets. Water should be available in a clean water bucket (scrub this daily) and make it available in a position or fixed where it can be easily reached but not kicked over. Dehydration can be dangerous, so keep an eye on intake, and monitor his droppings to make sure they are not dry and hard as this is a good sign of dehydration.

Healthy Hooves
The hoof of the modern horse is a complex structure made of keratinized (or cornified) tissue which surrounds a single toe on each leg. A complex bone structure is surrounded by the sensitive laminae, a layer of tissue which carries the blood to all parts of the hoof. Beneath this is the digital cushion, a pad of rubbery tissue which is the heel of the hoof and provides a shock absorbing cushion. The horny laminae is the hard layer of hoof which has no feeling and is attached at the white line. The cornified layer is supportive and protective of the more delicate inner structure as well as providing grip. The entire hoof, being comprised of a single digit responsible for bearing much weight over a small area, is an absolutely vital component of your horse’s health. Routine as well as emergency care is needed to keep your horse in tip top condition and with full mobility.
Maintenance care: • Pick feet out each day with a hoof pick, and finish with a stiff brush to remove any smaller debris • Get to know what’s normal for your horse in terms of temperature and digital pulse; any changes will alert you to potential infection,
14
punctures or other problems • Check shoes or unshod for signs of damage or wear, overgrown or misshapen feet and whether a farrier is required • Apply proper hoof oil every day or so during the warmer month’s to avoid cracks • Have your horses seen by a farrier every 4 – 6 weeks • Watch for lameness at all times, especially after a farrier visiting, who will need to be recalled if so Biotin supplements can be given to horses susceptible to grass or sand cracks • Check foot balance. This means the angle of the front feet should be approx. 45-50 degrees from the ground, and the rear at 50-55 degrees. • Shoes should fit properly with no gaps, and the clenches need to be around 1/3 of the way up the hoof wall from the floor, straight and flush.
Hoof problems: Laminitis Laminitis is generally accepted to be symptom of digestive issues, and is a swelling or inflammation of the soft laminae tissues which is painful and
The hoof is a complex structure made of keratinized tissue which surrounds a single toe on each leg
can strike at any time. It can be triggered by grain or grass over eating, infection or trauma. Water soluble carbohydrates in high amounts can be present in particularly lush pasture, and are a common cause. Symptoms include obvious pain, a reluctance to move or weight bear at the front, heel to toe walk and an increased sesamoid pulse. Laminitis should be treated as an emergency and a vet should be called straight away. The horse should be moved off of grass and into shavings or cardboard while waiting attention. Horses prone to laminitis should be on a properly regulated, high fibre diet, and need to be seen as regularly as necessary by your farrier. Thrush Horses can also be affected by thrush in the foot, a bacterial infection which can spread untreated to the delicate internal parts of the foot. It is usually caused by prolonged exposure to a damp environment such as wet fields or damp bedding. It can cause lameness and a black, pungent discharge from the frog. The vet should be called out and will recommend treatment, which is usually regular scrubbing and the application of suitable eucalyptus oil or possible poulticing. Prevention is better than a cure, so make sure to keep your horses feet clean and scrubbed, with regular application of eucalyptus, especially
in the winter months. If your field is prone to waterlogging, ensure there is hard standing, and make sure bedding is dry and clean. Seedy toe Seedy toe is a separation of the hoof at the white line, which starts at the toe and moves up the hoof wall as it grows, leaving a hole which becomes filled with dead tissue. It can happen due to laminitis or the toes becoming too long, and needs to be managed with regular farrier visits who will trim so that the hole can grow out. Bruised soles Injury caused by impact or standing on a hard object can lead to bruising of the foot which can cause acute lameness and bruising. Movement should be restricted and standing should be soft, such as shavings or wood chip. Vets can prescribe anti inflammatories and should be called to check for any signs of possible infection or wounds. Infection Any lameness or obvious pain can be caused by infections in the foot, and the pus therein will need to be removed by the vet or farrier who will dig out and clean the infected area. This should then be poulticed to draw out any remaining infection before it begins to reach the leg. Your horse also may need antibiotics if the infection is severe.

Horses Miniature
16
The world of the miniature horse may be small, but it’s also charming. The British Miniature Horse Society characterizes the miniature as a perfectly scaled down version of a quality riding horse which measures less that 88cm at the withers. Height to weight ratio is not specific to breed but the perfect size equates to somewhere between Hack and Hunter. Although the size of an extremely small pony, miniatures retain their horse status with horse characteristics. These horses are not the result of dwarfism but are selectively bred, so that they are healthy and suitable for breeding themselves.
Their small stature is coupled with a friendly, curious personality, and they make good companionship animals, even being utilised as guide or assistance animals, but miniatures do retain their essential nature and so need the usual equine treatment. Nutritionally they have the same requirements, and their vetinary and general welfare is as important and time consuming as that of a full sized horse. To be registered as a miniature horse by the BMHS, a foal must be bred from BMHS registered parents, although adult horses can apply for
registration by assessment. Miniature horses with their friendly nature and small size are frequently owned by those who may not be able to handle a full size horse or pony, so many are with very young riders or those with disabilities. Their tiny stature and good nature also makes them excellent companion horses for full sized horses. They also make good competitors, being quick to learn, and very much enjoy dressage style exercise and being the focus of attention. The BHMS has some excellent advice for those new to the hobby, especially when it comes to
17
They have a friendly & curious personality which makes them good companion animals
purchasing your first miniature hobby. As with any such purchase, do ask your vet to take a look at the animal, to ensure you really are buying a properly healthy horse. If you are a very good judge of horseflesh but new to owning a miniature, this is probably still a good idea. Although miniatures are horses, it is a great idea to do some research and find out exactly what makes a good miniature to own. Try to see both parents if buying a foal which should give you an idea of your foals potential size and appearance. Otherwise, common sense prevails. Look for an animal which clean, not lethargic or low spirited,
18
with a glossy healthy coat and clear eyes. Feet should be properly trimmed, and will give you an indication of how well looked after the horse has been. There are some very good breeders registered with the BMHS, and it really does make sense to make your first purchase from someone with the expert knowledge to guide you in the right direction.

Riding Hats Your riding hat is one of the most important pieces of equipment you will buy, and due to the effects of general wear and tear, will need replacing every couple of years. Safety standards need to be considered when replacing your hat. Wearing a properly fitted and secured hat is crucial for riders, protecting your most vulnerable area, and road riding is illegal without one. There are lots of different types, sizes and shapes available on the market to choose from, and all need to be certified as both safe and fit for purpose. The traditional style riding hat with dark velvet or velveteen covering and a built in peak is a popular choice, matching well with most riding gear, or if you prefer, you can go with a jockey cap, which is more like a modern cycle helmet which can be covered with a silk (cover) in your chosen design. They can be single size or adjustable, but the correct fitting is vital. It should be snug enough to move only minimally when pushed with a finger, but not so tight your head is constricted. Shape can vary between ranges and models, so unless you are choosing exactly like for like, make sure you spend the time trying on all options to make sure the fit works for you. Take advantage of the tack shop or outfitter you are using and ask for help from their fitter to make sure your choice is not too tight, or able to slip. For those showing or competing, a traditional hat is often required. It should be comfortable, close fitting and provide neck as well as head protection. An adjustable hat is often chosen for children who can adjust their helmet as they grow, rather than
20
replacing it frequently. The hat is there to protect from sharp objects and to spread impact across the surface rather than concentrating on one area of your skull. For this reason, any accident or bump does mean it will need replacing, as damage or compromise of strength can be hidden and therefore render the hat unsafe.
EU Compliance Changes in regulations have led to the previous standard of EN1384 being withdrawn. Nearly all equestrian bodies will no longer permit the previous standard. A CE mark will not be given to any hat which does not meet the new level of certification in addition to EN1384. Riders who do not compete do not need to change their hats until they naturally would. British Eventing give the following guidelines for what is now acceptable: • British: all PAS 015, VG1 (both must be kitemarked) • European: VGI (must be kitemarked) • American: All SEI ASTM F1163 04a onwards and SNELL E2001 • Australia & New Zealand: AS/NZS 3838 2003 onwards
