How to look after my pony - Summer morning routine
Watch the little girl look after her pony Popcorn in a summer morning routine.
Owning and caring for a horse or pony is fun and incredibly rewarding. However, it comes with a lot of responsibility and a long-term commitment.
There is no single 'perfect' way to care for horses and ponies, as every animal and situation is different. Refer to these tips to help your pony live a long, healthy, and happy life.
- Provide your horse with fresh, clean water. Clean, readily available water is essential for good horse care.
- Provide your horse with adequate fodder and concentrates. If fed hay, your horse will eat approximately two to three percent of its body weight daily.
- Provide adequate shelter and blanketing according to the weather. Your protection design, whether run-in shed or stable, is essential for proper care. Horses need a place to get out of the wind and wet.
- Do a visual check for scrapes, cuts, bruises, and puncture wounds on your horse's legs, head, and body. Treat any injuries promptly. You should have a horse first aid kit on hand.
- Do a visual check for signs of illness, such as runny eyes or noses or sounds of coughing or wheezing.
- Clean your horse's hooves and check for bruising, cracks, or loose shoes.
- Muck out the stall if your horse is stabled. Ammonia from urine and manure harms horses' lungs1 and hooves and can cause problems like thrush.
