Hold your horses, this time of year they will tend to turn their hand towards dressage type moves as you make your way to an from the field. Check that your horse riding gear is still safe by checking the current safety standards Purchase a face mask as your horse is about to shed its coat Get out your fly rugs, nose shields and any other accessories to make sure that all are still in good working order and that your horse will be comfortable If your horse suffers from Sweet Itch, now is the time to help prevent them from suffering Make sure you don’t get stuck in bogs as winter mud starts to dry up and become like cement Dig out a deep litter bed, it is very hygienic for your horse It is also time to revisit your worming programme Check your horse’s passport and check when vaccinations are due A spring health check is a great idea, horses can change throughout the year due to their change in activity Strengthen your bond with your horse by spending time with them. Spend an hour grooming or practice some stretching. Horsemart
