Horse owners need to know that there are many aspects of caring for their horses. Having a horse it's not only an evidence of loving the equestrian elegance but also a great responsibility.
A horse can easily get bored and torpid if it has to stay in a stable. Horses are designed by nature to run freely on wide open fields with others. To keep your horse well, healthy and content you must satisfy its physical needs.
The necessary pasture acreage for horses it often considered to be of 1 acre for each horse. Before letting your horse on a pasture you should check if the area is clear of harmful plants. It's a well known fact that horses can't vomit, and if they ingest a toxic substance they could even die because, unlike humans, they can't eliminate the harmful substance from their stomach.
To prevent the risk of your horse escaping, you should have a fenced pasture. Any type of fence is fine except a barbed wired one that could hurt the horse.
 When you build or buy the shelter for your horse/horses be sure to have it positioned in a way that can protect the animals from the wind and rain. Make sure that your horse has enough water both inside the stable and outside. A mature horse needs at least 38L of water every day.
Correct bedding is important for horses kept in stables. Horses should be able to lie down and sleep on a bed of straw, for example, that's a very popular and inexpensive bedding choice. And the stable must be cleaned daily, even more the once if the horse is staying inside all day long.
Another important care aspect is the grooming – you need to pay special attention to grooming a horse that stays most of the time in the stable, to protect its coat.
Horses are very beautiful animals, and they need all your love and attention. Don't hesitate to use www.EuHorses.net, for more information on how to take care of your horse, a new online resource for horse owners and lovers alike. |

From the archives of New York Times:
DENVER, Aug. 10.-Secretary James Wilson of the Department of Agriculture arrived here to-day. Mr. Wilson will spend two months visiting Western States and gathering information about Western horses, with a view to opening up a market in England and Germany.
"The idea is," said Mr.Wilson to-day, "to introduce American horses into Europe for military purposes. It is conceded that the Western horse, could it be bred to the requirements of the English Army in point of size, would be the most enduring animal in the world for long marches or campaigning. Europe produces a fine animal, but one which needs continual care."
