One of an equestrian's most pressing concerns aside from horse riding and training, is holistic horse care. Holistic in a way that what the equestrian does (vis care and upkeep) or feed (in terms of feeds and supplements) is motivated at covering all of the required bases. The issue with this is that an anxious equestrian who is paniced by a sudden equine ailment or injury would apply all of the treatments she knows in the the hope of covering all possible root factors behind the ailment. Not only is this action costly, it can even be detrimental to your horse's already ailed condition.
Taking Things Slow One at a Time
Rather than trying a gamut of cures or treatments in hope of hitting the nail on the head, take things slowly and apply treatments one at a time. If your pony is unwell there may be a great number of reasons why she isn't feeling well. Even though you pinpoint where she's hurting, the causes of that pain can be just as numerous. Let us take a weight loss case as an example.
During the winter season, horses, particularly hard keepers, can be extremely difficult to feed and thus their weight can be difficult to maintain. Serious weight loss is not rare. So let's imagine harsh weight reduction affects one of your geldings, let us take the slow one-at-a-time approach visâ€"vis a blanketing all-in-one approach.
One-at-a-Time vs All-at-Once
While there are many probable causes that can cause serious weight reduction the more common ones find their roots in either physical factors or factors related to the horse feed involved: physical factors like the underweight pony getting wrestled out of her feed by other horses or using up her calories in fending off the cold; feed-related factors like the not getting the right kind of feed, not getting the correct nutriments out of the feed, or both.
In an all-in-one blanketing approach, an equestrian will try to resolve all these immediately. She would seperate her pony away from other horses during feeding while increasing the quantity of feed and the nutrients she believes the mare is lacking while also putting efforts to keep the mare warm in her stall. With any good fortune, one of those cures might work, but they may not and might even finish up aggravating the situation. The mare might need to be close to the herd to have even a slight appetite or increasing feeds or supplements may help nourish bugs rather than the horse.
Employing a slow one-by-one approach, an equestrian will first address likely causes of a selected nature (such as addressing the physical causes first) and see whether the applied remedies work. If the treatments don't lessen the weight loss problem, she would then move on to addressing other likely causes. This way, except for lower treatment costs, she would avoid further complicating or compounding issues.
