Business owners will appreciate the convenience and safety that is offered by installing rubber mats at the entry and in other sections of their place of business to prevent trip and fall accidents.

While you may have insurance to cover such accidents, any time you have a customer enter your business place, there is the possibility of an accident. While you are not able to prevent all the accidents, you can show the courts that you have taken steps to prevent as many as possible. One of the simplest of these precautions is to have rubber mats at all entries. This can help to prevent tracking of rain or snow from being tracked inside and causing the possibility of a wet floor on which one of your customers could fall.

Other examples of places where customers could have an accident include the produce section of a grocery store. Think of the danger of one grape dropped by accident. If another customer steps on the grape on a waxed floor, it becomes an immediate fall hazard. Even though you or your employees did not drop the grape, as the proprietor of the business, you can be held liable for the damages from the incident and bills can pile up readily.

Providing the mats at the customer entry and using runners in areas where customers might slip can lower the chance that a customer may be injured.

Other areas where these tools can be used include businesses where fast food is prepared. Since there is often a buildup of oils and fats on the floors in the kitchen, they can become hazardous for your employees. Use of easily changeable runners can prevent worker’s compensation claims by preventing employee injuries.

You will appreciate that the runners or mats can be quickly rolled up when dirty and a clean one can be put out in its place. Meanwhile, be sure that workers work to keep floors and other surfaces clear of all spills. Make it a company policy that all floors and mats are mopped using an ammonia based detergent and hot water to remove grease and prevent a hazard.

Rubber mats can also help to protect floors from ordinary dirt and grime that can be brought in from the outside. This leads to lower costs of keeping an office, store or shop clean. Entry mats can be rolled up and quickly replaced if they are found to be soiled. They can then be cleaned with a garden hose or pressure washer to remove dirt and grime that would have otherwise found its way onto the rest of the floors.

For businesses that have workers who must spend time in muddy areas, the mat designed to catch this mud is an easy way to keep it off of carpets or other floor coverings that are installed in the building.

Whether looking for ways to protect a business from liability or to protect floor coverings from outside dirt, water and mud, rubber mats are an effective way to keep your place of business free of all these dangers. The can easily be placed anywhere that hazards may exist and be removed if necessary in seconds.

A reliable source of high-quality rubber mats is a great investment to make. Stall mats not only help your horses’ health, but they are also more convenient in terms of maintenance.

In the last Ten years there have been many animal healing methods developed. Adding to the older traditional systems such as acupuncture for animals to the newer methods such as the Trust Technique. These animal healing applications are all working to help animals balance energetic levels. In this article I would like to share with you how animal communication can benefit any of these animal healing methods.

There are so many different animal healing methods around today! For example of the top of my head I can list Reiki for animals, Trust Technique, spiritual healing for animal, Mctimoney chiropractic for animals, Emotional Freedom Technique for animals, Body Talk, Body Spin, Acupuncture, Tellington Touch, Bowen technique and the list goes on!

When we take a closer look at the these methods we soon realise that healing animals looks at the animal as a whole being. This holistic approach does not just look at the animal as a physical being but also as emotional and spiritual.

If one of theses areas is out of balance it will affect the other areas. For example the emotion of fear can create tension within the physical parts of any body be this human or animal. Over time this tension can cause all sorts of physical ailments including the internal organs. Clearly the emotional tension or fear needs to be changed, so that it is no longer affecting the body. This is the holistic approach, the ability to look and treat the whole picture.

With animal communication we can understand the different parts of the animal, giving us a much clearer understanding of them.

This communication is not the same as one person talking to another, where the vehicle for our notions is through the use of words. It is more a language of feelings. We are constantly sharing feelings with the animals around us. This can be in the way of affection through to sharing fear states.

Animal communication helps animal healing in a number of different ways. To start with understanding the animals pain helps us to treat it! Also the ability to be empathic is very compassionate, this is it own right is incredibly healing. Especially when we realize that communication is a two way process and is not always about picking feelings up but also delivering feelings. Sharing feeling of peace and comfort can dramatically increase the trust levels between the animal and the human and consequently healing!

Communication relates to all the other animal healing methods by creating a strong feeling of trust and understanding between the animal and the human. This is so important because with out this rapport the animal will not be as open to the healing.

If you are currently working with animal healing then finding out how to communicate with animals is really important. You will already to doing it on some level but consciously learning will open up more detail and trust between you and the animal. Animal communication is easy to learn so if you have not already find out more about it! And let your animal healing be taken to the next level.

Believe it or not, you can make your horse dreams come true, especially if your dream includes owning a horse, horses for sale are available just about everywhere. You can find them through a wide variety of mediums, but, you should ask yourself basic questions before you begin your shopping experience

There are many costs to owning a horse besides the initial price, and you’ll want to figure those cost before your purchase. This means you’ll need to know where you’re going to keep your horse, how much it will cost to feed your horse, equipment costs, transportation, lessons for yourself and training cost for your horse, as well as emergency and yearly veterinary costs.

Now that you have figured those costs, you’ll realize that the purchase price is just a drop in the bucket. But their are even more important questions you’ll need the answers to as well.

While many dream of owning and riding a horse, those dreams can become frustrations if you purchase the wrong horse. Make sure you know what you want your horse to be able to do before you go shopping. Many people have bought the wrong horse for their dreams and wind up disappointed. For instance, a trail rider who winds up purchasing a speed event horse, or perhaps someone who wants to learn to jump purchasing a cutting horse. While either of these horse can do the job, a better prospect would be a horse intended for the purpose in the first place.

After realizing just what you want to do with your horse, it’s time to evaluate yourself. Many disappointed horse owners over evaluated their skills and wound up purchasing a horse that is either over trained, or too young to be trained adequately for the rider and the situation was frustrating for not just the person riding but the horse as well. If you do not know your skill level, go take a lesson, or hire a professional evaluation.

Horses are often a big investment, not just financially but also emotionally. This means it’s important to not only make sure the horse is suitable for your dreams but also that you honestly like the horse itself. A perfectly suitable horse that you do not like is not only a waste of money, but also, emotions as well. Make sure you’re purchasing a horse that fulfills both purposes

Finding horses for sale is the easy part, you can find advertisements for them everywhere. Look in your home town, online, paper media like magazines, newspapers, and even at your local livestock auction and bulletin boards. Remember, if you are not an experienced horse person, don’t go shopping alone, take a professional, or even pay one to go with.

The big thing to realize when making your horse dreams come true, is that it’s a lot more than just the initial cost or price of the horse. There is an ongoing cost as well, that said, don’t let age, financial status, or physical limitations or ability keep you from making your horse dreams come true.

Getting your best horse begins with horses for sale. When people go to horse sales, your best horse is waiting to be taken home.

Although cushings disease occurs in different animals (horses, dogs, even people), the symptoms for each species are different. For example, in horses it causes the coat to grow longer and thicker, often becoming curly, whereas in dogs it has the opposite effect of causing hair to fall out and produce bald spots. The equine (horses, ponies, etc.) version of this illness is known as ECD (Equine Cushings Disease).

As a horse ages, there is an increasing tendency for the pituitary gland to develop tumors or to grow too large, resulting in it producing more hormones. This in turn stimulates the adrenal glands to produce additional steroids and when the level of steroids becomes excessive it results in cushings. Since these changes are age related, ECD is most often found in horses over 15 years but has been found in horses as young as seven.

Cushings was first identified in explained in’21, by Dr. Cushing, after whom the disease is name. ECD is the equine variation of the disease first identified in humans by Dr. Cushing.

Different horses show different symptoms of ECD. The most common symptom is coat changes (longer, thicker, curly, failure to shed in Spring, becoming lighter in color). The heavier coat results in increased sweating as a secondary symptom, due to over-heating, especially in summer. The horse tends to lose muscle in its neck and back, despite increased appetite and eating more, while developing a pendulous abdomen. Diabetes often develops, with an associated increase in water consumption and urination. Laminitis always develops eventually. The horse becomes more prone to infections and slower to heal from external injuries due to a depressed immune system. The natural depressions above the eyes tend to fill in with fat.

Each of these symptoms could be caused by other illnesses, so it is often a combination of them which results in ECD being diagnosed. Urine and blood tests can be used to rule out other possible causes and to confirm the presence of ECD. Studies have found that many older horses (especially ponies) have ECD than are diagnosed. Consequently, greater care is required to identify ECD in the early stages, when controlling treatment is effective.

ECD cannot be cured. However, the hormone levels can be reduced to more normal levels through medication, slowing the progress of the disease. As some of the medications can have serious side effects (e.g. liver disease), one needs to monitor for any such side effects and change the medication accordingly.

One also needs to watch for symptoms of secondary diseases, such as laminitis or diabetes, which are more common in horses with ECD. These need to be treated promptly to prevent them from further damaging the horse’s health.

One should also maintain the horse’s quality of life by treating any symptoms which make it uncomfortable. For example, if the heavier coat results in the horse becoming too warm, one should clip the coat in spring or summer.

The article Cushings Disease was written by Doug Stewart as part of his Horse Care series.

If you are intending to buy a horse at auction, you need to be able to tell the quality horses from the problem horses. Remember that most horses at auction are sold ‘as-is’, so you do not have a guarantee and have little legal protection, even if the horse has a serious problem. Consequently, you need to do your own research on the horses in advance to identify the ones that are worth bidding on and the ones which you should keep away from.

If possible, get a catalogue of the horses on offer (so you can make notes) and arrive a few hours before the auction do that you have time to carefully look over the horses. A horse is a big investment, so it is worth investing time in making the right choice. Look at the horses as they are unloaded, eliminating any that appear overly difficult or that look unhealthy. As they are walked to the pens, they should walk easily and without any sign of lameness. If the horse appears frightened, scratch it off the list. On the other hand, if it looks apathetic and uninterested in its surroundings, it is likely sick or drugged, so remove it from the list as well. You are looking for a horse that is alert, perhaps a bit nervous (which is understandable in the strange surroundings) but well behaved.

If a person unloading a horse is its owner, their behavior will give you some useful hints about the horse. If they are gentle with it and appear sad to part with it, the horse has likely been well treated. However, if they are abrupt or rough with the horse, perhaps even hitting it, then it may well be an abused or neglected horse, with the associated issues.

When the horses are put into their pens, you can look (without entering the pen as that can be dangerous) at them for scars or other marks. These can indicate previous injuries or abuse, which could have left permanent issues.

Through these various observations, you will normally have already eliminated most of the horses listed. With the remaining horses, try to find the owner so that you can ask about the horse. First ask the owner to tell you a bit about the horse. Once they have stopped talking, you can move to specific questions such as “What injuries and illnesses has the horse had?” and “What bad habits or problem behaviors does it have?”. Don’t forget to ask why the horse is being sold, particularly if the owner is full of nothing but praise for it.

If you are still interested in a horse at this stage, ask the owner if he can remove it from the pen so that you can examine it. It is much better to examine a horse on its own, as it allow you to concentrate on the horse without the distractions or possible accidents associated with being surrounded by strange horses. Start by closely looking over all parts of the horse. Then run your hands over the horse, feeling carefully for any bumps or other irregularities, with special attention to the legs. Carefully examine the hooves, especially underneath. Check that no teeth are missing and that there isn’t excessive wear or other issues (be careful of your fingers). With two fingers, press down on both sides of the spine, moving down the entire length of its back, watching if the horse displays any discomfort or pain at any point. During the entire examination the horse should be alert but should not be aggressive or fearful.

If you discover anything unsatisfactory during the examination, ask the owner to explain it. Unless that you are happy with the explanation and believe it, remove the horse from consideration. Remember that it is better to go home without a horse, than return with a problem horse that you later regret buying. Set a maximum price for each horse left on your short list, so that you don’t go over budget in the excitement of the bidding.

If you are intending to buy a horse, make sure that you have somewhere to keep the horse afterwards and transport to get it there. If you haven’t made arrangements, ask the auction staff if they have these facilities or can recommend someone.

Curly horses have a certain gene which causes their hair to curl. In addition to curls in their coat, they may have curls in any or all other hair (such as the tail, mane, or even eyelashes). The growing popularity of this group of horses is due to:

1) Hypoallergenic. Most people who have an allergy to horses find that they have no allergy to curly horses or have a reduced allergic reaction.

2) Appearance. The curly coat is not only unique (and who doesn’t want a special horse?) but many people find it particularly attractive.

3) Feel. The soft curls of these horses have a wonderful feel to them, making petting and grooming of the horse a tactile pleasure.

4) Behavior. These horses are known for being unusually calm and sensible, characteristics apparently bred into their bloodlines.

The curly hair genes are found in all sizes of horses, from draft horses and standard horses, down to miniatures. They occur with all colors of horses and all builds.

The nature of the curl also varies from horse to horse. In some cases it consists of large, heavy curls but in others it is smaller curls or even fine pin curls. It may even be waves. In some cases, the hair is straight as in a normal horse (no sign of curl), but the horse is still considered a ‘curly horse’ because it is descended from curly horse parents and retains other characteristics such as being hypoallergenic even though it does not display the characteristic curly coat.

As the above shows, there is a great deal of diversity in curlies (size, color, build, curl characteristics). This diversity is partly due to the fact that the curly genes are naturally occurring and there has not been a long term breeding program to develop a uniform set of characteristics against a breed standard. In fact, an official breed standard has not yet been agreed. Consequently, one should feel free to choose a curly horse which one finds attractive without worrying greatly as to whether the horse fits a certain standard.

When choosing a curly, also keep in mind that the extent of the curl changes with age and also with season (it is most pronounced in winter). In summer, the hair is not only less curled, but is also shorter and thinner; in some cases the manes and tail hair are extremely short. If appearance is very important, before making your final decision you should see what the horse looks like (even if just from photos) in both winter and summer. You should also check the bloodline which the horse is from as an indication of how the coat will change as it ages (the nature of the changes vary from bloodline to bloodline).

If you are choosing a curly because these horses are hypoallergenic, be aware that the extent of this quality varies from horse to horse and that the benefit varies from person to person. Consequently, any combination of horse and person may exhibit no allergy, a reduced allergy, or the usual horse allergy. Therefore, one should test the person with the horse to determine the extent of the benefit. If one has extreme allergic reactions, take medical advice on how to do this test safely.

Other names for the curly horse include: North American Curly Horses, American Bashkir Curlies, and Bashkir Curlies. There are also a number of named bloodlines, each with their individual characteristics.

Wood chewing not only damages stables and fencing, it can also be bad for the horse’s health. Wood splinters can get stuck in the gums or teeth. If swallowed, the splinters can damage the stomach or intestines, or cause impaction colic. Fortunately, the habit of wood chewing is usually not difficult to correct and the short-term health risks are low in most cases.

One first needs to check that the problem is wood chewing and not cribbing. Both activities are similar in that they involve the horse biting and damaging wood, but they are completely different problems. Wood chewing is exactly that; the horse chews on wood (e.g. in its stall or wooden fencing). With cribbing the horse does not chew on the wood but instead grabs it with its front teeth, then arches its neck and sucks in air. If you watch the horse, you can easily see which of the two problems it has, as the two activities are completely different. If you can’t catch the horse in the act, examination of the wood should tell you, as one needs to check if the wood has been nibbled away or simply bitten hard.

The most common cause of wood chewing is boredom. Horses which are left in their boxes most of the day with nothing to do simply do not have enough mental stimulation, so they start chewing on wood to occupy themselves. Another cause is stress or nervousness; just as some people chew their fingernails or pencils when they are stressed, a nervous horse confined to its box with nowhere to direct its nervous energy may start chewing on wood to distract itself. The third possible cause of wood chewing in nutritional deficiencies; if the horse’s food does not contain all the minerals they need they will start to chew on other items (such as wood or earth) in an attempt to obtain the missing minerals.

It can be difficult to know which of these three possible problems is the cause of wood chewing by an individual horse. In this case, the simplest approach is to address all three possible causes. Give the horse as much pasture time, exercise and mental stimulation as possible. Try to provide it with grass and hay rather than grain or muesli, so that it gets more food stimulation and satisfies its natural drive to chew. Try to identify any causes of stress (such as bullying by another horse) and fix the problem. Ensure that the horse has good access to a salt lick and mineral stone in case there is a nutritional cause.

Taking these steps should improve the situation but may not stop wood chewing completely. Unfortunately, once the habit has been established, simply removing the originating cause will not eliminate the habit. One also needs to address the behaviour as well.

One does this by making it impossible (or at least unpleasant) for the horse to chew on wood. One can place metal strips on top of wood (e.g. stall doors) so that they cannot be nibbled. An electric fence wire can be added to the tops of fencing rails to discourage chewing. Alternatively, one can paint wooden surfaces with paints which are made to taste horrible (ensure that the paint is approved by your veterinarian.

One should make sure to address both the cause (e.g. boredom) and the behavior (e.g. with paint). Doing just one or the other is insufficient. If one fixes the cause but not the behavior, the habit is likely to continue, although to a lesser amount. If one prevents the behaviour (e.g. with paint) but does not address the underlying cause, the horse still has a problem and this may well lead to the development of a different behavioral problem.

Laminitis is a serious and common disease of the hoof. Although it is rarely fatal, in serious cases the horse is put down either for humane reasons (the horse is in pain and permanently crippled) or economic reasons (the horse can no longer be used for its intended purpose). Such cases of euthanasia are sufficiently common that laminitis is the second most common cause (after colic) of premature death in domestic horses.

The term ‘laminitis’ refers to damage to the ‘laminae’, which is the connective tissues between the hoof bone (also known as the pedal bone) and the hoof wall. In mild cases of laminitis this tissue becomes inflamed and starts to break down. In more severe cases this connective tissue is sufficiently damaged that the hoof bone separates partly or completely from the hoof wall, rotating and sinking within the hoof. In extreme cases, the bone will actually penetrate the sole of the hoof. As the bone moves, it may also tear blood vessels and other tissues. Longer term, the damage to the hoof can result in permanent damage to the hoof growth and repair mechanisms, resulting in abnormal growth (e.g. flat or convex sole, rings in hoof wall, separation between hoof wall and sole).

One hears the term ‘founder’ in relation to ‘laminitis’. Unfortunately, not everyone uses the term in the same way. Some people use both terms interchangeably, while others use founder to describe the more serious cases of laminitis (e.g. bone penetration of the sole).

There are various causes of laminitis but they can be grouped into three categories. The first is overly rich feed, which upsets digestion, resulting in the release of toxins into the blood, where they then travel to the laminae and cause inflammation and tissue break down. The second category is mechanical separation, where the laminae is damaged from repeated shocks to the hooves (from running or jumping or hard ground). The third category is toxins, either ingested in the feed, or produced internally as a result of an infection.

In developed countries, toxic damage most often occurs when the pasture or feed is too high in carbohydrates or nitrogen. Consequently, one needs to avoid excessive amounts of rich feeds (e.g. grain) or lush pasture. Pasture is richer in the spring, after rain which follows a drought, or if it has been fertilized, so one should be careful of allowing sensitive breeds to graze on these pasture types. Some breeds are more sensitive than others and ponies are generally more sensitive than horses to rich food. For sensitive breeds one should restrict the amount of rich food (e.g. grain) and keep them off of rich pastures. One way to allow horses onto pasture but to restrict the amount eaten is to use a grazing muzzle.

Competition horses, such as jumping or racing horses, which are frequently worked on hard ground, are relatively likely to eventually develop laminitis. However, it can also occur in pleasure horses, if they work or travel on hard surfaces. Try to avoid use of your horse on hard ground. If it is necessary to travel on hard surfaces, try reducing the pace since a walking horse will have less hoof shock than a running horse. Ensuring that hoof trimming is correctly done, especially avoid trimming for long toes or over-trimming as these reduce the ability of the hooves to absorb shocks. If the horse is shoed, it should be done by a competent professional. Consider using shock-absorbing shoes (e.g. horse shoes with a rubber component) or shock absorbing boots during competitions (both are increasingly being used, even at the professional level).

The third major cause of laminitis is toxins which are unrelated to overly rich feed. This includes toxins which are ingested (e.g. through moldy hay, or grass which has been treated with herbicides) or toxins which are produced due to an infection within the horse. Ensure that food does not contain fungus, mold or chemicals. Ensure that any infections are promptly and aggressively treated, before they can result in toxin overload leading to laminitis.

This Laminitis and Founder article is part of the Horse Care series by Dr. Doug Stewart

There are hundreds of different breeds of horses, but they are grouped into three broad categories: cold blood, warm blood and hot blood.

The breeds making up the cold blood category originated mainly from Europe, where they were the result of breeding programs to produce horses that could work long hours each day, doing heavy work such as pulling plows, barges or carts. For these tasks there was little need for speed but they were required to have both strength and endurance. Consequently, these breeds developed with large muscular bodies, heavy bone structures and big joints. They also were bred to have a quiet and obedient nature, so that they would obey commands and work long hours without complaint and without risk of them spooking and running off. To deal with the cold winters, they had heavy coats and manes.

Hot bloods originated mainly from the middle-east and other warm climates, where they were used for racing and riding. Instead of the cold breed qualities of power and docility, the hot bloods were bred for speed or distance riding, so had lighter legs and bodies. Due to the warmth of their native climates, they had shorter hair in their coats, manes and tails. Likewise, their blood vessels are nearer the skin surface to allow heat to be dissipated better. In temperament they are energetic and spirited, with a desire to run. Perhaps the best known breeds in this category are the Arabian (ancestor of many modern hot blood breeds) and the Thoroughbred (also used as part of the breeding program for many other breeds).

The warm blood breeds (also known as warmbloods) are between the hot and cold bloods both physically and in terms of their nature. In fact, many of the warmblood breeds are the result of mating hot bloods and cold bloods to develop a new breed with the positive characteristics of both. Their build is athletic, providing both speed and endurance, but without the power of a cold breed or the pure speed of a hot blood. They have a calm nature and are generally intelligent, making they easily trainable for sports such as show jumping and dressage. Although bred for a variety of duties in the past (such as war horses and carriage horses), today they are mainly used for sport and pleasure riding. The Friesian and Hanoverian are examples of warm breeds

The categories cold, warm and hot has nothing to do with the temperature of the horses (all horses have a normal temperature of about 38C) or their blood. Instead, it refers to the origin of the breeds (cold or hot climates), their build (heavy or athletic) and their character (calm or spirited).

Over time, the requirements for horses changes. As farm work has been taken over by tractors and transport by cars, the breeding objectives have been more towards sports and pleasure riding. In this environment, the warmbloods (and perhaps to a lesser extent the hot bloods) have been somewhat more successful that the cold bloods. Fortunately, a number of cart pulling and other heavy sports have been created to support these breeds. In addition, the calm and stable nature of the cold bloods has made them particularly popular with many children and less confident horse riders.
