What do we mean by “horse welfare”?
To experience “well-being,” the horse must be in a state of physical and mental health that allows it to live in harmony with its surroundings.
Thanks to the innovation of the horsecare industry, the concept of welfare is being studied and constantly changing; in fact, nowadays, multiple aspects such as species, age, mental and physical health, breed and training level are considered. If the desired sporting results are to be achieved in any discipline and at any level, proper management and welfare of the horse must be a fundamental prerogative for any owner.
The horse is a being of extraordinary intelligence that has accompanied and improved human life since ancient times. Whether companion or performance, the horse must be respected and protected, and a relationship must be cultivated that allows it to learn and interact with its environment.
The elements for the welfare of the horse
The three basic elements to ensure the proper management and welfare of the modern horse are: Training, Feeding and Transportation.
Training is the element that makes for an important and lasting bond with humans. If performed correctly, the benefits are assured; on the contrary, if the owner does not put the horse’s psychophysical needs first, the risk is to compromise this delicate balance forever.
Feeding should be strictly tailored to the horse’s needs; based on its needs and health status, it should be provided in adequate rations and several times a day, and always accompanied by plenty of water. The horse is a herbivore, but today’s feeds also contain hay, grains and nutritional supplements. For proper management, the owner (along with the veterinarian) must know the proper balance to be administered to avoid dangerous diseases.
Horses, especially performance horses, are subject to frequent transportation, and, as a result, to various stressful moments that could compromise their temperament and well-being. Each transfer should be carefully followed, and the horse should be checked frequently during these, especially to avoid the risk of dehydration.
Also, let’s not forget that the horse in nature lives in herds and loves to be social! For his well-being, it is important, whenever possible, for him to be in contact with other horses.
What does your horse breathe? Haygain hay steamers for its safety.
Haygain steamers purify hay with high-temperature steam-a patented technology scientifically tested to remove 99 percent of dust, mold, bacteria, fungal spores, and other allergens commonly found in hay and hay-silo, even the best quality hay.
A range of Steamers suitable for every need, robust and environmentally friendly, designed to prevent the onset of dangerous and irreversible respiratory diseases and manage the welfare of the leisure and performance horse, both in the box and on the move.
More natural feeding: the Forager slow-feeder.
Forager is a “slow-feeding” feeder that allows the horse to eat in a natural grazing position, regulating the pace at which it eats without causing frustration or stress in the box. Easy to mount and equipped with two adjusters to habituate the horse, Forager helps manage and maintain your horse’s weight, dramatically reducing the risk of ulcers, colic and stable vices. Thanks to Forager, the hay stays clean and away from the floor and bedding for a healthy and hygienic environment.
