𝙄𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙑𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙀𝙭𝙖𝙢 A veterinary evaluation is crucial before starting any pre-sale conditioning program or starting the horse under saddle. Radiographs can reveal common joint problems, which may or may not require surgery. Getting a good set of radiographs before marketing them and having a baseline on the horse before any training starts is crucial. We get radiographs on the knees, hocks, and backs of all our two-year-olds before starting them under saddle or beginning any conditioning. We are also very strict about getting the young horses' teeth done at around 2-3 years of age. At a minimum, they have to have their wolf teeth extracted if they have them. We arrange all of this in our c**t conditioning program. 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 Yearlings and two-year-olds not only need to look great at the sale, but they also need to know how to behave. We firmly believe in getting them respectful of leading, being tied, and having their feet trimmed, brushed, and haltered, but the trick is not to get them spoiled. Our c**t conditioning program does just that. They get handled daily, on and off the wash rack, in and out of the treadmill, on and off the Vita floor, with their feet picked and brushed. They have to stand tied, work in the round pen, etc. 𝙋𝙧𝙚-𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 It is no surprise that yearlings can’t be conditioned like adult horses. However, they still need to be in top form before the sale. Hand walking is a great way to increase a yearling’s muscles, which may still work for some (though it’s time and labor-intensive!). Slow trotting can usually produce the result that walking can’t. However, this is a case of careful balance as you also don’t want to strain growing bones and joints too much. This is where the swimming comes in. When we swim horses, they become buoyant, which reduces all impact on their joints and bones. It is crucial for young horses to reduce the impact and stress we put on their joints and bones. This will increase your horse's long-term outcome and give you the longevity your horse deserves. It will increase their red blood cell count and the oxygen to the muscle, allowing them to be properly fit and conditioned. Decreasing the stress on young horses is an imperative part of the foundation, and you do not want to skip it. 𝙍𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙚𝙣 Round pens are commonly used for conditioning yearlings and two-year-olds. If using the round pen, gradually increase exercise time and work the horse equally in both directions to avoid uneven muscle building. You should not try it if you don’t know how to do this. Understanding how a horse thinks and how to set them up successfully for the c**t starter is a very important step in a horse’s foundation. 𝙃𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙨 They are the most popular method for conditioning young horses, but can be very hard on their joints and bones. The most common thing we see is people don’t think about the stress we put on these horses at such a young age and how underdeveloped their muscular & skeletal system is. This is why we start with radiographs at the end of the c**t's long yearling year and then again as a two-year-old. It may seem expensive, but in the long run, waiting an extra few months to let the bones and joints finish growing and closing will save you and your horse. 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒈𝒐𝒂𝒍. 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨 Swimming is one of the best ways to condition your equine athletes, from babies to older horses. Treadmills provide an even surface for the horse to move on while also allowing us to evaluate how the horse moves. When we start our young ones, we always get their minds thinking before adding water. We get their feet going on the belt, and then once you see them soft in the eye and relaxed, we can add water. We don’t drug them to do this. We go slow and easy and let them tell us when they are ready for the next step while still maintaining respect and pushing them. Most of our young horses are not handled as much as babies. Thus far, they have all been easy to get going. Some are more sensitive and scared than others, and you must find a way to keep their minds going and feet moving. Keeping the reactive side of the c**t’s brain moving is a very important key to understanding how to handle them. 𝙉𝙪𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 & 𝙏𝙬𝙤- 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙨 High-quality nutrition and forage are paramount for any horse, especially those that are being prepped for sale. In the months leading up to the sale, most yearlings will be kept inside the barn during the daytime to avoid bleaching of the hair coat and to have them accessible for conditioning, handling, and grooming. With our winter climate here in Colorado, they must get that extra light on them and not be outside in colder temperatures. What has worked best for us with our young horses is to start them on a high-fat, low starch and sugar-based diet prior to sale. We feed the 𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒃𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒇𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏. It is low in NSC and non-structural carbohydrates, with only 7% sugar and 11% starch. It contains nutrition from organic trace minerals, vitamins, kelp seaweed, yucca, and biotin. It includes natural digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics to support healthy gut function. Usually, they need around 90-120 days of this to get to where we expect them to be at. You need to pay extra attention to your grain and protein. You can cause just as many problems by overfeeding them when they are young and forcing them to grow at a faster rate than their body is ready for. This is also the biggest cause of epiphysitis. High-calorie diets are at the highest risk for this. Take time to educate yourself on your feed program and the protein, starches, and sugars in your forage. Adding a healthy fat source such as flaxseed oil can help improve coat condition and increase energy intake. No matter how much prep work you’ve put in, sending your young horses off to be started or to the sale is still stressful. We keep all of ours on 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒄𝒐. From the day they are weaned on. The digestive system is at the heart of most major problems in a horse, such as colic, diarrhea, compaction, founder, poor appetite, and weight loss. Forco feed supplement digestive fortifier is a source of nutrients. This source feeds and nurtures the entire scope of bacterial and microbial populations in the full spectrum of the digestive system. 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙋𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤 This is the most common mistake people make when selling a horse. A good photo of your prospect may seem silly, but I assure you it will help in more ways than you know. We have two different photographers who will video and take photos throughout your c**ts conditioning phase. We create small, simple, short marketing videos for you and advertise them on our social media platforms. This exposure alone is very beneficial. There’s no doubt about it–prepping any horse for the sale or even to be started under saddle is a big job. But putting in the time and effort with training and handling, conditioning, and good nutrition will pay off when you find the right buyer who you know will help your prospects reach their full potential. The foundation of your c**t starts with you! As a breeder and owner, it is your responsibility to do right by the future buyers of your prospect and to withstand a reputable reputation for high-quality prospects. Ensuring you don’t skip any steps to build that foundation is the key to success with your equine prospects. 𝒮𝒽𝑒𝒶 𝐻𝒾𝓁𝓁-𝒱𝑒𝑔𝒶, 𝒪𝓌𝓃𝑒𝓇 𝙑𝙚𝙜𝙖 𝙀𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 & 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜
