Dodson and Horrell Stroppy Mare

Product Information

She is no good for the purpose I bought her - long distance trail riding, just her and me. She is too suspicious of this human's world. You can't trust to stand by a busy road. She likes to go where she has been before. But I've grown to live with her. I see her virtues along with her problems. I've stopped thinking I can boss her about. I've stopped worrying that maybe she is using me. I've stopped thinking I can change her.

Maybe this morning’s refusal to be caught was her way of showing her independence. She gave in eventually but she made her point. She’ll do what I ask of her, as long as I ask nicely and I give her a biscuit or two. She does enough to keep me happy.Niacin Niacin (vitamin B3, nicotinic acid) is required for coenzymes involved in energy production, redox reactions and cell division. The 8 year old very spoilt mare I ride for a friend has been out in the field pleasing herself for the past 3 months while I recovered from a knee injury. The last time we were together we both fell heavily after a bad jump (hence knee injury). So her last memory of 'us' isn't a particularly good one. I lead her to the exit gate of the field. She'll stop halfway, she'll lift up her head and look round. I'll wait a few seconds, I'll let her look round. Then I'll give her a tug. She'll walk at my shoulder, at my pace, on loose lead rope, the rest of the way to the hitching rail. Vitamin E Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that must be provided by the horse's diet. It is found in fresh grasses, but rapidly degrades in cut hay.

Total Enzyme Activity Total Enzyme Activity reflects the amount of enzymatic activity present in the feed. Higher enzyme activity indicates a more digestible feed.

Nutritional Analysis:

Copper Copper is a trace mineral required for hoof health, coat quality connective tissue, and immmune function. It should be provided in a 3:1 ratio of zinc to copper. Menadione (Vitamin K3) Vitamin K is a cofactor for enzymes involved in blood clotting. It also supports healthy blood vessels and bone health. Threonine Threonine is the second limiting amino acid in equine diets. It is important for gut health and protein synthesis.

hope your knee gets stronger and stronger cos groundwork is fun, will change your relationship with her, but you might need to be pretty agile at times !! This is all the basic groundwork stuff that you would do when starting a young horse. Personally, I do it with every horse - because what you're doing is establishing the groundrules. I have owned DiDi for four years. During which time I have tried to mould her to my needs. I’ve got nowhere really. She simply doesn’t want to go pub hunting. She wants to dance in a dressage arena just like she does with the young female friend of ours who competes on her in the arena. So, she’s won me round. She has played me along. She’s got her way. Short courses of the drug will provide information but the behaviour is likely to return shortly after the drug is discontinued. Some use it long term but it is not licensed for use in this way and is very expensive. In my riding career I have met up with and ridden two mares who have give me faithful service. It was with memories of them that I took on my Irish Huzzy - not realising that she was something different although perhaps I should have suspected something because she was sold as a 'project' horse.

Digestible Energy Digestible energy provides an estimate of the usable calorie content of a feed commonly expressed as megacalories per kilogram or pound (Mcal/kg or lb). Manganese Manganese is crucial for bone formation and antioxidant protection. It is also involved in maintaining healthy joints and supports the production of chondroitin sulfate. Calcium Calcium is important for maintaining strong bones and teeth. It should be provided in a ratio of approximately 1.5:1 Calcium to Phosphorus. When I arrive, she can hear my car. I get out, from across the fields she'll be looking up and I'll wave. Perhaps she really is worried whats going to happen after all the last time you saw her you had a fall, you were hurt and even if she wasn't I bet it gave her quite a scare, for a horse to be on the floor is its most vunrable time she may feel like you put her at risk (only because you asked her to do the jump which caused the fall)

as long as it takes ! That's not very helpful is it ... ok, this exercise is the very first in establishing your personal space. The idea is that once she knows she is to respect your space, and that you can enforce this respect when you choose to, then two things happen. Firstly, you almost never have to enforce it, and second it pervades everything else you do. For example, you never have a problem with her barging out the door because if you're near the door, she can't get through your space... when you lead her, you'll find there's absolutely none of that pulling, or stepping on your feet going on. I had been riding her for 8 months and had only just started to win her over, though she would still act up now and again. Stroppy Mare is a calming supplement made up of six soothing herbs to help settle the behaviour of mares in heat. It contains: My mare Lace has been struggling with anxiety, which we believe derived from her hormones. It made showing or even just a trail ride extremely stressful for her and slowed down her progress immensely. I’ve found that Dodson & Horrell’s Stroppy Mare herbal mix has really improved her overall wellbeing and thankfully I now have a noticeably less anxious horse that seems far happier, even in stressful situations. At the recent Swan River CIC the difference in her demeanor, her attitude and her rideability was amazing and I finally got to have a decent warm up at a competition that didn’t stress her out too much. Thank you Dodson & Horrell for your product and Thompson and Redwood for supplying! Also thanks to my brilliant coaches Portland Jones and Sophie Warren for helping me find an easily sustainable solution for my horse’s health.” Feeding guidelines:She's not coming into season, she's not tender around her abdomen, and she was fine when the farrier came. Can it be that she really does just hate me? She truly is acting like an adolescent Kevin! Phosphorus Phosphorus is a macromineral involved in the maintaining the structure and function of bone. It is also a component of ATP and cell membranes. If she does all that respectfully, you can work on disngaging the hindquarters, yielding the forequarters - that's to say getting her to move out of your space as you move into hers.
