TEXAS HORSE CRUELTY CASE MOTIVATES LEGISLATIVE CHANGE 
A 22-year-old Texas man will serve nine months in jail for torturing and killing a yearling filly named Cowboy Chic in her pasture last October. This case and a series of other attacks on Texas horses in 2005 and 2006 motivated a legislative proposal to stiffen penalties for abuse of horses, in part by reclassifying them from livestock to companion animals. The proposed law passed, but not as activists intended.

START WITH A HEALTHY MARE
The first step in raising a healthy foal is a healthy mare
Your mare is the lifeblood to her unborn foal, and how you care for your mare prior to and during pregnancy can make all the difference. That's why Intervet developed the Intervet Foal CareSM program: to help, along with your veterinarian, lead you through the entire process, from conception through the first year of life.
It all begins with the mare. A proper vaccination regimen prior to and during pregnancy is important to reduce the risk of infectious disease that can lead to abortions. In addition, optimizing the mare's immune status during late pregnancy is critical to facilitate transfer of passive immunity to the foal.
These are just a few of the topics covered in the Intervet Foal Care program.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT HAY FOR YOUR HORSES
You invest a lot of care and appreciation in your horses, so it is wise to spend some time considering their primary diet--forages.
The horse evolved over time to be efficient as a grazing animal thriving on forages. As we adapted the horse for colder climates, the horse was well-suited to thrive on hay and other conserved forages. Currently in Montana we have many pleasure horses on small acreage that subsist on hay 365 days a year, and their only involvement with "pasture" is a place to exercise. Continue reading...

FROM THE HORSE MAGAZINE: TEACHING THE MOVEMENTS There are two things you'll never see me do to a horse. You will never see me push on one of my horses to move over or back up. I don't put my hand on a horse and try to push him. The first time you do that, you teach him something you don't want him to know: that when push comes to shove, he wins every time. I don't want my horse to know he can out-push me.
