Proper horse care is very important.
There are many things that you should learn if you take up the responsibility of a horse.
You need to take care of the horse as a new member of the family.
Firstly you need to get some grooming supplies.
You should get a collection of brushes and combs to make your horse look good.
Grooming the horse is a great way to bond with them; they enjoy it as much as you would.
Horses enjoy grooming so much that it would not be surprising to see them fall asleep while you grooming them.
While grooming your horse regularly check for nicks and scrapes if any.
If you notice any injuries treat it immediately.
Quick treatment prevents small injury from becoming major.
Make sure to check his feet to prevent thrush and other hoof diseases from festering.
Feet is a very sensitive and vital part so make sure you check it periodically and if the horse spends more time on concrete or rock soil it is advisable to have him wear shoes.
If the horse spends more time on softer ground then shoes won't be required.
Keep the horse stall clean.
You need to muck out the manure and wet bedding.
Depending on the weather conditions and the need you can decide on how often to clean the stall.
Keep inspecting the surroundings for any sharp or point objects so that you can keep your horse from being injured.
You can try padding the stall for them so that they do not hurt themselves.
But sometimes padding the stall is also not enough; horses tend to hurt themselves some way or the other.
The best thing to do is inspect them regularly and treat all injuries major or minor as soon as you spot them.
