HUNTERS, JUMPERS: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? Apr 16, 2021. The biggest difference between hunters and jumpers is the way they are judged. Expert horsemen judge hunters subjectively on the basis of their style and movement, conformation (in some classes), and overall picture, as well as on the quality of the rounds themselves.

HOW MUCH EXERCISE FOR A SENIOR HORSE? Keeping horses active with exercise and turnout (preferably 24 hours/day) is essential in these later years. Like human senior citizens, older horses can improve their aerobic performance—and lose body fat, which is key to better health—with carefully planned training and conditioning programs.

FIGHTING LAMINITIS
Laminitis can end your horse’s career or cause such severe, unrelenting pain that euthanasia is the only choice. The statistics are grim. Surveys show that this disease affects about 1 percent of all U.S. horses at any given time and leads to death or euthanasia in about 5 percent of cases. STIFLE ISSUES IN SPORTHORSES Besides discipline, three additional factors can increase the likelihood of stifle trouble: • Straight hind-leg conformation. The more upright the stifle angle, the less able it is to absorb shock, leading to increased concussion and stress—and thus increased wear and tear—on the joint. • Poor muscle condition. WHAT'S MY HORSE SAYING? INTERPRETING HORSE SOUNDS If he groans only with certain riders, a rider who thuds heavily into the saddle after a jump or at sitting trot might be hurting him. If he habitually groans when manuring but otherwise seems normal and happy, the groan could simply be the involuntary movement of air through his vocal cords as he uses his diaphragm to bear down in defecation, or a response to normal abdominal discomfort/relief.

HUNTER RIDERS: EQUITATION COUNTS! Step 1. As your horse prepares to take off for the jump, pull in your stomach and put more pressure onto the balls of your feet while slightly relaxing your heels. This will help stabalize your foot position. Keep this feeling while staying directly over his center of gravity in the air over the fence. HOW TO KEEP WEIGHT ON A SENIOR HORSE Offering a higher quantity of feed and selecting feed with more digestible and available nutrition becomes important in managing senior horses. If the horse is still able to chew well and process long stemmed forages, providing high quality hay and a calorie and nutrient-dense feed may be adequate to prevent weight loss.

PRE-PURCHASE EXAM ESSENTIALS Beyond these essential steps, radiographs (X-rays) are the most common add-on to a pre-purchase check. “I would recommend radiographs on any joint I have a question about because of the clinical exam,” says Dr. Crabbe.
