' "Horse owners are poor at recognising lameness which may compromise equine welfare” is the blunt message from the authors of a newly published research paper.' This is a headline in the recent newsletter from the Saddle Research Trust
Dr. Dyson presented preliminary findings from this study at the SRT 2018 conference which WOW sponsored. The paper on this research has now been published in the journal Animals, in a Special Issue entitled "Towards a better assessment of acute pain in equines". You can read the full paper via a pdf download at https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/10/6/1044
In summary, of the 60 horses in the study, 73% were lame and had significantly higher ethogram scores than non-lame horses. An interesting feature was that 47% of the horses had gait abnormalities in canter, highlighting the importance of evaluating the quality of canter, which may be compromised by hindlimb lameness or sacroiliac joint region pain.

It was clear that riders, irrespective of their skill level and experience, had a lack of recognition of the behavioural signs which may reflect musculoskeletal pain. Many riders learn to ride on horses which exhibit these signs, so there is a generalised acceptance that these behaviours are normal for horses.

The take-home message is that education about what constitutes abnormal behaviours is needed, so that lame horses are recognised and undergo appropriate investigation and treatment, in order to both enhance equine welfare and improve performance.

This summary is based on the SRT newsletter and adapted from:
Dyson, S.; Pollard, D. Application of a Ridden Horse Pain Ethogram and Its Relationship with Gait in a Convenience Sample of 60 Riding Horses. Animals 2020, 10, 1044.

How to check your headplates

How to check your headplates

We've had several queries recently about our headplate numbering system. If the headplate only has a number written on it, it will be a U profile. Vs (narrower profile) and UUs (wider profile) are always written on. (There are a few Us out there where we got keen and lettered them too, but any headplate without a letter will be a U). The photo shows two size 1 headplate. No prizes (sorry!) for guessing which is the U.

There is no excuse for using a heavy rein contact. Sometimes riders say that some horses need a firm contact, that they need support or help from their riders in form of “more contact” on the reins. Some riders even tell that their horses like the pressure and they claim that the horse is being ...

MAGNESIUM, COWBOYS, INDIANS & HORSE BEHAVIOUR!

There is NO EVIDENCE that inorganic (e.g. magnesium oxide) or organic (e.g. chelated magnesium) forms of magnesium have ANY EFFECT on horses behaviour - POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE!

If you see posts by companies claiming it does, please look at the qualifications of the people behind those companies to judge if they are credible! The sad fact is that you do not require ANY QUALIFICATIONS WHATSOEVER to start or run an equine supplement company or to formulate supplements!

The result is that the equine supplement industry is full of COWBOYS! True equine professionals spend ridiculous amounts of time reassuring owners and correcting "advice" given by idiots!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE think about who you trust to make things that your horses are going to eat! Most poorly formulated supplements and advice do no harm (other than to your bank balance) but some are HARMFULL!
