| Latest feed from Hoofing Around Online Equestrian Centre,Tack Shop & Saddlery The Breeds There are a huge number of different breeds throughout the world. Native horses and ponies have been bred with imported blood-stock for hundreds of years. Breeds differ in size, temperament and looks. Most horses of recognised breeds will be registered within an official breeder association. Without an official certificate showing the horse’s pedigree, it is difficult to establish the purity of any horse’s breeding. Read this article if you wish to learn about the different breeds of horse. Forms of Competition There are many riding disciplines to choose from. This article provides an overview for some of the well known i.e. Dressage, Show Jumping, Eventing, and Working Hunter. Many riders often try a variety of them, and others excel in one or two. It also comes down to availability of teaching and training facilities and both you and your horses level or capability. Read on to learn about the different styles and disciplines. Shoeing a horse The horse’s feet should be checked at least every six weeks, and preferably every four. The horn of horse’s hoof is continually growing from the top of the hoof, producing about 2.5cm (1 inch) each month. A horse out at grass my be able to manage without shoes as the horn is worn down at the same rate it grows, but any horse worked on hard surfaces will need to be shod, otherwise the horn will be worn away, leading to lameness. |
