Sinead Halpin and Manoir de Carneville at WEG. Photo by Jenni Autry.Our horses are always trying to tell us something, whether through positive or negative feedback. I mean, think about it. How many times have you been in a situation with your horse where they either licked their lips or pinned their ears back to let us know they are agreeing or disagreeing with the situation? Horses may be seen as complex animals, but the more we sit back and listen to what they are trying to tell us, the more we can understand.U.S. 5* rider and Ride iQ coach Sinead Maynard sat down with her husband Tik Maynard on Ride iQs In Stride podcast to discuss horses love languages and how to utilize them for better understanding and connection. Tik Maynard is the 2024 Road to the Horse World Champion, a sought after natural horsemanship coach, and hes represented Canada at multiple World Championships and the Pan American games in eventing.Tik Maynard works with a horse.

The five known love languages for humans are words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. According to Tik, a horses love languages include comfort, play, quality time and food.Similarly to humans, horses may be given an adequate amount of love and attention and still have behavioral issues or a lack of understanding with their owner or rider. Why is this?Humans typically resonate with one or two of the love languages, meaning that they typically notice, appreciate, and are influenced by these the most. Although the other three love languages may be given, they are not received and dont resonate as much. The same goes for horses.In order to gain a better understanding of our horses, the first step is determining what motivates them to be our partners. Through observation, Tik was able to notice how horses feel, think, and play to determine their love languages or how we can more effectively show our horses we care.Love Language #1: ComfortToday well be discussing the first and arguably the most important love language in horses: comfort. To begin, think of horses like little kids. What matters to them most? Food, shelter, and water should be expected, but what comes next?Just like little kids, horses seek comfort. They want to feel safe, heard, and respected. Already challenging enough, horses cant verbally communicate with us, making it more difficult to determine what they are feeling. Its through observing both the physical and emotional side of your horse that you will be able to begin to determine where they find the most comfort.Photo by Sally Spickard.Examples of Physical ComfortWhen horses seek physical comfort, they are seeking to be seen, heard, and accepted. For example, a horse may continuously rub their head up against you when you take off the bridle after a ride. Some riders may see this as their horse becoming pushy, but what if its their way of expressing discomfort? Put yourself in their shoes and picture how uncomfortable it is to have an itch you cant reach. In these situations, rather than jumping to conclusions, taking the time to notice what your horse is trying to tell you and scratching their itches is a great way to show them love.Another component of physical comfort is space and freedom. Some horses really appreciate having their own physical space. This can look like a horse who doesnt love to be groomed or a horse whose happiness comes from being turned out and having free range. Making the appropriate changes in your horses routine to acknowledge your horses need for space and freedom can make a world of difference in your relationship with them.Examples of Emotional ComfortThe other component of comfort is emotional comfort. This can present in a lot of different ways, some that you may have never seen. A horse expressing the need to attain emotional comfort can look like a horse who does not like being alone. As herd-bound animals, this can be quite common. Rather than forcing the situation and having your horse hack out alone on the trails from the start, the solution may be to have another horse hack out with you until your horse becomes more comfortable and emotionally balanced.In these types of situations, its important to note that we must earn respect from our horses. We can recognize when our horses do or dont like certain things by physical signs. When it comes to meeting your horses need for emotional comfort, take an empathetic and patient approach.Pats for Off the Record. Photo by Shannon Brinkman Photography.Showing Respect Through ActionWhat may be deciphered as a controversial statement, Tik explains that sometimes with the people that we love, there is a lack of respect or politeness. Instead, we should make an effort to demonstrate our love in part through respect and politeness? One way we can do this with horses is to have the patience to learn their preferences, notice their comfort or discomfort, and meet them with empathy.Aim to be more present with your horse. Sit in the moment and notice what your horse is actually trying to tell you. By doing this you will begin to learn what your horses likes and dislikes are based on their actions. Some signs that your horse is comfortable include licking of the lips and chewing. Listening to your horses feedback is an open-ended question. There are thousands of options, and the only way to know what works is through trial and error. The goal here is to recognize any sign of improvement, even if thats just 1%. Sometimes things will happen that youve never heard or seen before, and thats okay.At that point, theres no set of standards to follow. Youll need to be creative. Think of your horses behavior as a puzzle youre trying to solve. You may not know the answer right away, but the more you work to understand your horse and show them respect, the more they will be willing to reveal the answers.

    Friday News & Notes from Stable View
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by Laura Collett MBE (@laura_collett)How often do you hear the old cliche, Team work makes the dream work? I mean, it is certainly true as Team GB proved this week, winning their second consecutive Gold Medal. But there are many, many, members of that team and indeed all of the Olympic teams competing in Versailles this week not just those we saw competing, or standing on the podium. Arguably one of the most important, but least celebrated or seen, is those in the position of travelling reserve. Although they have the heartache of not making the actual team, they still have to be prepped and ready to step in at any moment, should anything happen to the other team members or their horses. Yasmin Ingham was the one who took on that role in Team GBs camp, and she has been quite candid about just how difficult it is to be in that position, with a grace and bravery beyond her years. Bravo then, to Laura Collett, Team and Individual Medallist, for taking the time to celebrate Yas contribution to that Team Gold Medal, and giving her the recognition she so deserves. And yes, as Laura says, I have no doubt that Yas time will come perhaps with Laura once again by her side.U.S. Weekend PreviewArea VII Young Rider Benefit H.T. at Caber Farm (Onalaska, WA) [Website] [Entries] [Ride Times] [Volunteer] [Scoring]Bayou Gulch H.T.

(New Market, TN) [Website] [Entries] [Ride Times] [Scoring]Friday News and ReadingGuyssssss the Olympics are OVER Well, as far as the eventing is concerned you can still enjoy the Team and Individual Dressage Finals this weekend, and I suppose the showjumping will carry us through to next week. But after that, we will be hurtled into the full throes of an Olympic hangover. Still, all is NOT lost. As if they knew we would near something to cheer us up, the lovely people over at the Defender Burghley Horse Trials have released the first few entries and you can continue to follow along as they come in. As if that wasnt exciting enough, there are already THREE entrants from the USA: Will Faudree, Mia Phelps and Hannah Sue Holberg. Maybe a trip to Burghley is just what you need to get you out of that post-Olympic funkSpeaking of Burghley, do you think that you could help US based Kiwi Monica Spencer and Artist make the trip? Since shifting her whole family across to the US, Monica already has the 5* at Maryland and Kentucky under her belt, with OOTB Artist. Determined to make the most of her time in the Northern Hemisphere, she now she has her sights set on Burghley, but she could use a little financial help to make the trip. If you you can help out, theres something in it for you too a full owners experience at Burghley Horse Trials, regular updates on their journey leading up to the event, and other free stuff too including a signed hat! There is no ongoing commitment beyond Burghley, so if you have a few pennies spare, why not join Monica and Max on their latest adventure?One of the weirdest thing about the Olympics? All the weird and wonderful interviews that the athletes are subjected to especially if they win a medal.In fact, the more medal you win, the weirder it seems to get. Just ask Team Gold and Individual Bronze medallist Laura Collett. Still, fun for the mere mortals among us to watch. Which ranking would you go for?Robert Reyers is making the most of his time at College, but not in the way that you would necessarily expect. Although he was previously based with jumper Todd Minikus where he intends to return once his studies are over he is currently taking a break from horses to focus on his studies. However, he is still 100% committed to all things equestrian. Part of Brooke USA, he is helping to raise money to improve the welfare of donkeys in Ethiopia through the education of the veterinarians and their handlers. His fundraising methods are THE MOST FUN I have ever come across, too; The Annual Brooke USA Watering Hole Party. A party for a good cause? Now that is something I can definitely get on board with!Oh goody, yet more stuff to look forward to. This one should provide some much needed relief during the long, dark months of winter. Sorry, too soon to mention that word?!Sponsor CornerCongratulations to the winners of the July Eventing Academy! Didnt get the result you hoped for? Try again in August! Today is your last chance to enter the August Eventing Academy at Stable View. The event runs from August 9th 11th.

Swelling or Heat: Signs of inflammation that require veterinary evaluation. Pain or Discomfort: Indications that your horse is in pain and needs veterinary advice.Diagnosing the CausePhysical Examination: Assessing the horse's overall health, gait, and joint condition. Imaging: X-rays or ultrasounds to identify abnormalities. Joint Fluid Analysis: Analysing joint fluid for inflammation or infection.Treatment and ManagementConventional Treatments: NSAIDs for pain and inflammation, joint injections with corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid. Natural Remedies: Herbal supplements like devil's claw, yucca, and boswellia; professional equine massage and physical therapy.Preventive MeasuresRegular veterinary check-ups, proper hoof care with regular trims and appropriate shoeing, and a balanced diet with adequate nutrients to support joint health.Why Do My Horse's Joints Click?Hearing a clicking sound from your horse's joints can be concerning, especially if you are unsure of the cause or potential implications. This blog aims to demystify the phenomenon of clicky joints in horses, exploring the possible causes, when to worry, and how to address the issue effectively.Understanding Clicky Joints in HorsesClicking or snapping sounds in horse joints are relatively common and can occur for several reasons. Here are some key factors to consider:Physiological Causes Gas Bubbles: One of the most common explanations for joint clicking is the release of nitrogen gas bubbles within the joint fluid. This is similar to the sound you hear when you crack your knuckles. The joint capsule stretches, releasing gas, which then creates a popping sound. This is a benign process and usually not a cause for concern (Equus Magazine).Tendon Movement: Tendons moving over bony structures can also produce clicking sounds. This can happen as tendons slide through their sheaths or over other anatomical structures during movement (Horse Side Vet Guide).Age-Related Factors As horses age, their joints undergo wear and tear, which can lead to more frequent clicking sounds. This is a natural part of the aging process and does not necessarily indicate a problem (Equine America).Injury or TraumaPast injuries, such as strains or sprains, can leave lasting impacts on joint health, leading to clicking sounds during movement. These sounds may be more pronounced if the horse has experienced significant trauma to the joints (Equine America).Arthritis Arthritis is a common cause of joint clicking in horses. It leads to inflammation and changes in the joint structure, which can produce audible sounds. Arthritis can also cause pain and discomfort, which may affect the horse's gait and overall mobility (Equine America).When to WorryWhile occasional joint clicking is often harmless, there are scenarios where it warrants further investigation:Lameness: If the clicking is accompanied by lameness or a noticeable change in the horse's gait, it could indicate an underlying issue that needs veterinary attention (Horse Side Vet Guide).Swelling or Heat: Swelling or heat in the affected joint area is a sign of inflammation and should be evaluated by a veterinarian (Horse Side Vet Guide).Pain or Discomfort: If your horse shows signs of pain or reluctance to move, it is essential to seek veterinary advice (Equine America).Diagnosing the CauseA thorough veterinary examination is crucial to determine the underlying cause of joint clicking. Your vet may perform several diagnostic tests, including: Physical Examination: Assessing the horse's overall health, gait, and joint condition.Imaging: X-rays or ultrasounds to visualize the joint structure and identify any abnormalities.Joint Fluid Analysis: Analysing the joint fluid can provide insights into the presence of inflammation or infection.Treatment and ManagementConventional Treatments Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help manage pain and inflammation associated with joint issues. Your veterinarian will prescribe the appropriate medication based on the diagnosis (Equine America).Joint Injections: In some cases, joint injections with corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid may be recommended to reduce inflammation and improve joint function (Equine America).Natural RemediesHerbal Supplements: Ingredients like devil's claw, yucca, and boswellia have anti-inflammatory properties and can support joint health. Always consult your vet before starting any supplement regimen (Equine America). Massage and Physical Therapy: Professional equine massage and physical therapy can improve joint mobility and reduce muscle tension, promoting overall comfort (Equine America).Preventive MeasuresRegular Veterinary Check-ups: Annual veterinary exams can help detect and address joint issues early, ensuring your horse remains healthy and comfortable (Horse Side Vet Guide).Proper Hoof Care: Regular hoof trims and appropriate shoeing can prevent issues like forging, which can cause clicking sounds (Equus Magazine). Balanced Diet: Ensure your horse receives a balanced diet with adequate nutrients to support joint health.ConclusionClicky joints in horses can be a source of concern, but understanding the potential causes and knowing when to seek veterinary advice can help you manage this issue effectively. Regular check-ups, proper care, and timely interventions can ensure your horse remains healthy and comfortable, even with the occasional click.By staying informed and proactive, you can provide the best care for your equine companion, ensuring their joints remain in good condition for years to come.Is it normal for horses' joints to click?Yes, it is relatively normal for horses' joints to click. Clicking sounds can occur due to the release of gas bubbles within the joint fluid or the movement of tendons over bony structures. These sounds are often benign and not a cause for concern.What is best to give a horse with clicky joints?For horses with clicky joints, it's best to provide supportive care, which may include joint supplements containing ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid. Additionally, ensuring proper hoof care and a balanced diet can help maintain overall joint health. Consult your veterinarian for specific recommendations.Why does my horse's front legs click?Clicking in a horse's front legs can occur due to the same reasons as other joints, such as the release of gas bubbles in the joint fluid or tendons moving over bony structures. If the clicking is accompanied by lameness or discomfort, a veterinary examination is recommended to rule out underlying issues.Why does my horse's stifle click when I walk?The stifle joint may click due to the movement of tendons or ligaments over the joint or as a result of the release of gas bubbles in the joint fluid. If the clicking is persistent or associated with pain or lameness, it is advisable to have the stifle joint examined by a veterinarian to ensure there are no significant problems.

The vet will perform skin scrapings and ear swabs to examine under a microscope for the presence of mites. Horses may need to be sedated for a thorough examination, especially if they are head shy.Treatment OptionsTreating mites in horses can be challenging due to their resilience and the environment they thrive in. Here are some effective treatment strategies:Topical TreatmentsAnti-parasitic shampoos and sprays can help eliminate mites. These should be applied thoroughly and repeated after 10-14 days to catch newly hatched mites.Systemic TreatmentsIn some cases, veterinarians may prescribe ivermectin-based treatments or other systemic medications to tackle the infestation from within.Environmental ManagementKeeping the stable clean is crucial. Remove all bedding, disinfect the stable, and consider using shavings or rubber matting instead of straw to reduce mite habitats.Preventive MeasuresRegular grooming, maintaining hygiene, and treating all horses in a herd can prevent the spread and recurrence of mites. Reducing sugar in the horse's diet may also help as mites thrive on sugar-rich environments.Preventing Mite InfestationsPreventing mite infestations involves a combination of good hygiene practices and regular monitoring:Regular GroomingKeep your horse clean and groomed, especially during the winter months when mites are more active.Stable ManagementMaintain a clean and dry stable environment. Regularly clean and disinfect grooming tools, tack, and blankets.DietProvide a balanced diet with low sugar content to reduce the risk of mite infestations.Early TreatmentStart preventive treatments as soon as the winter coat begins to grow, typically in October, to minimize the risk of infestation.ConclusionMites can cause significant discomfort and health issues for horses, but with early detection and proper treatment, you can manage and prevent infestations effectively.
