Poly-estrus
longer days = in season
-give prostiglandins to short cycle - lyscis corpus luteum
-lights in the stall
Bone Spavin
unsoundness of the hock; hard, calcified
Bog Spavin
blemish on the hock; liquid/fluid filled sac on hock
Progesterone
hormone; corpus luteum gives off-body produces
make body 'stay pregmant'; maintains pregnancy
Vital Signs
Pulse - 26-40 bpm
Respiration - 8-16 --watch flank rise and fall
Temperature - 99-101.5
Better nutrition: Grass vs. Alfalfa Hay
Alfafa
Saddleseat Breeds
Morgan, Saddlebred, Arabian, Gaited (Tenn. Walker)
Observe while in motion
-long stride -balanced/consistent gait -directness (wing in/out)
3 things when buying a horse
-place--> barns, grounds, etc.
-react towards you-->treatment
-body condition - score--> 5
Western Pleasure Breeds
all; Quarter Horse
Gestation
342 days ------ 11 months!!
Evaluating Sperm
-mobility
-conformation
-sperm count
Fight vs Flight
-Creatures of FLIGHT
Purpose of Molasses
-keep food together - cant separate
-palatable - yum (: -corn oil is another option
-reduces dust
Body Condition
1 = very emaciated
9 = very fat
-look/touch fat spots -- ribs, tailhead, crest, behind elbow
2 Blemishes -
- splint -cannon bone
-thrush -infection of frog
Sidebone vs. Ringbone
-side of foot ossification; poor conformation - unsound or blemish
-ossification of pastern bones; involves joints; poor conf. - unsoundness
Higher in energy - corn vs. oats
Corn is higher - hot feed --> so much energy
--oats is safer
Purpose of a Saddlepad
-cushion
-absorbs sweat
-keep saddle from moving
Snaffle Bit
- direct pressure; twisted and thin = more severe; pressure on corners of mouth, tongue, & bars - broken,3 piece, chain, solid
-reins loose
Curb Bit
- leverage; pressure on poll, chin groove, tongue, bars, roof/corners of mouth
- severity = diameter of mouthpiece, style/texture, shank length --> longer = harsher, port position --> higher = more severe, straight shank = more severe
Combo Bit
-act as snaffle or curb - depending on reins
- severity = diam. of mouthpiece, shank length, curved vs. straight, port height
Types of English Saddles
-Saddle Seat
-Dressage ----> black, long flap
-Jumping ---> short flap - Irons with leathers
-Polo
Types of Western Saddles
-Cutting --> tall, skinny horn
-Roping --> rubber horn -Stirrups with fenders
-Barrel --> rounder skirt
-Endurance -Equitation
Estrus
-5-7 days
-in heat
-signs include: winking, receptive, urinating
Diestrus
- 21 days
-begins about 1-2 days after ovulation
-non receptive behavior: squealing, biting, kicking at stallion
Call vet when foaling if...
-not in swan dive position
-2nd stage of labor and nothing is happening
Things to consider when breeding mare
-Health
-purpose of foal
-traits being passed on
Sweeny
atrophy of muscle; nerve damage in shoulder or hip
-unsoundness
HCG
causes follicle to ovulate
When buying a horse...
-vet record -allergies, gen. medical history
-suitability
-size pony vs. horse
Amount of time spent Grazing
18-22 hours
Sickle-hocked
-hock angle is too steep
-drop line from butt ---> should hit
3 Methods of Injections
-IV (intra-venous) jugular
-IM (intra-muscular) thigh, neck, pecks
-Sub-Q (under the skin)
Use Western Saddle
-Trail
-Western Pleasure
-Barrel/Cutting
Walk
-4 beats
-LATERAL
-ex. LH-LF-RH-RF
Trot
-2 beats
-DIAGONAL
-ex. (LH,RF) (RH,LF)
Pace
-2 beats, similar to trot
-LATERAL instead of diag.
-(RH,RF) (LH,LF)
Canter
-3 beats
-DIAGONAL
-LH, (RH,LF), RF
Backing Up
-'backwards trot'
-2 beats
-diagonal
3 pressure point --> Curb Bit
-roof of mouth
-tongue
-under chin
Demonstrate Restraints
-Put a halter on DUMMY (:
-shoulder roll
-ear twitch
-pick up leg
-nose twitch
Founder
-unsoundness
-coffin bone rotates down
-preceded by laminitis
Roaring
-unsoundness
-larynx dies a little
-causes horse to be unable to breathe properly
Heaves
-difficulty breathing; allergies, dust mold
- 'heave line'
Stifled
in stifle--> our knee
displacement of patella
unsoundness
Breeding Age of Mare
2 years of age
Breeding Methods
-Natural cover
-AI
-Embryo transfer
Live Cover vs. AI
-depends on what you want
-cost
-time
Teasing Stallion
-aggressive, but controllable
Methods of Teasing
behind gate/wall/fence
take mare to stallions stall, vice versa
turn pony out into pasture
Breeding Area
-Area -Dust free
-Well lit -level
-Enclosed -water supply close
-Clean
Pregnant Mare
-rectal palpations
--failure to return to estrus - resists teasing
-ultrasound
-blood test
1 month prior to foaling
open up caslick
deworm
trim hooves
5 way vacc - tetanus, west nile, strangles/distemper, rabies, potomac
Foaling Stall
-big
-dry
-clean
-sawdust w/ straw on top
Forging
hit front leg with hing leg
Toe Out, Toe In
-Toe Out = wing in
-Tow In = wing out
Step, Beat, Stride
step = distance b/t rear and front footprints
beat= 1-2 feet strike at same time
stride = distance b/t same foot
Bowed Tendon
-unsoundness but can recover
-front legs usually
-inflam. or stretching of flexor tendon
Quarter Crack

-soft swelling
-blemish
Add protein to diet
Soybean meal
Horse Vices
-Cribbing
-Weave
-Chewing
Good hay
-color --> green is better
-moldy - smell
-moisture- not wet
-stemmy - more mature = less protein -leafiness
Energy Rich: 1st cutting vs. 3rd
-3rd cutting
-1st - more woody, mature, better for big/heavy horses that need something to chew on
Feed By Class
-Job
-Age -lactating/pregnant
