Equine
Tips From the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee
|
|
What
We Can Learn From a Girthy Horse
By Cathy Languerand,
PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee Chair
Does tightening your horse's girth cause him to:
* Bite the air, or
worse, bite you?
If your EAAT horse
has developed any of these behaviors then he is trying to tell you
something. Put your detective hat on and figure out the where and when
the behavior began. Read more.
