When you finally get your horses home, there is no other feeling like it. Looking out your window and seeing your favorite creatures enjoying life under your care is one of THE most gratifying experiences for a horse lover. 

But there’s a flip side. Happy Horsekeeping isn’t as easy as it sometimes seems. While we can design our barns, yards, and turnout to keep our horses safe, feed them the best hay and grains, and provide a low-stress environment for them, there are times when that’s still not enough. Listen in!

Should you turn your new rescue horse out with the others in your herd?

What are the Five Freedoms?

How can re-feeding syndrome cause a horse to die?

What important exam is necessary when adopting a mare?

There’s a wonderful surge in horse adoptions this year. It’s never enough, but it’s something! Many rescue horses, however, are in poor health, and that leaves the adopters struggling to rehabilitate, support, and nurture the horses back to good physical and mental health. This recovery process can be very confusing, and the information available that is specific to rehabilitation is limited. Our guest in this episode is Dr. Stacie Boswell, an equine veterinarian who recently published a book titled, The Ultimate Guide to Horses in Need.

Helena talks with Dr. Boswell about the most common issues facing rescued horses, and how we, as caregivers, can best support their return to good health. Listen in!
