We have the best farrier! Not only does he always turn up on time, communicates well and is great with our horses (goes without saying he’s fabulous with their feet!), but he also clears up after himself! Legend!

What does a horse learn each time he or she is handled?

Every interaction teaches a horse what to expect from people and procedures. When that experience involves fear or force, horses remember, and resistance often grows.

Cooperative care changes that experience. By giving horses agency training a clear start signal and rewarding calm participation, we can shift how horses perceive veterinary care, farriery and routine handling. The result is safer procedures, less stress and better welfare.

A change in approach can change the horse's experience for the better.

Have a look at my latest WelfareWise infographic and article explaining more about the research, approach and the practical implications. Read more here:

Keeping horses cool this spring and summer ☀️🐴

With a very strong El Niño building and hot, windy spells possible, I’ve put together an infographic guide to thermal load: what it is, how to judge a hot day, and what current research says about cooling a horse that is getting too hot.

Some of the old advice has changed so have a read of the full article so you can do your best for your horse. The full article is on the GlenOlive Equitation blogsite: https://www.glenolive-equitation.com/post/taking-the-heat-off-thermal-load-and-how-to-reduce-it
