By Ina Hunt


People find it joyous and pleasurable to keep different animals in their homesteads and farms. While some people would make efforts to keep puppies and kittens at home, others would look for bigger animals. This depends with the need of the individual in buying the animal. Among the most enticing animals you would keep at home, include a horse. If you are looking for a good horse, you need to consult people who breed and keep breyer horses.

You need to make special preparations before you introduce the horse to your home. Primarily, you need to ensure that you construct a good and stable barn. In fact, some people advise that you build three-stall barn that would accommodate two to three horses. This would indicate that you are planning things ahead of time. In connection to this, you may need to have an extra stall for emergency purposes.

Your constructions need to be of high class to ensure that the animals are comfortable all the time. Keep the floor comfortable. Spread some materials that would prevent the fur from peeling. Sawdust would serve the animal well and ensure that the animal sleeps comfortably as opposed to sleeping on hard and rough surfaces.

The other important thing is to know how regular the animal feeds. Keep a reserve of the favorite foods the animal would eat. This information should be got from the dealers. Check on the internet on the supplements for the animals. You would also ask from those people who have reared a horse before. This would ensure that your animal is healthy and in good shape.

Other things that are needed when it comes to rearing a horse are the grooming services. A horse requires regular grooming to maintain their fur in the right manner. The owner may opt for doing this on his own in which case he/she will need currycombs, which are able to ensure for proper grooming. At some point, you may also need to use bristle brushes and face brushes for the grooming. Timing is also a factor when it comes to grooming.

You need to see to it that your horse is in good and comfortable situation at all times. Keeping your horse in undesirably cold weather situations especially during winter would deteriorate the health of your animal. Ensure that the stable has the right materials to generate heat and keep the structures warm. You would also buy coverings for the animal to remain in desirably conducive conditions.

During the summer season, it is also not safe to leave the animal unattended. Ensure that the heat is favorable by installing coolers in the stable. You would also find that during summer, many flies would infest on your animal. Buy the necessary masks to make sure the animals are safe and not disturbed when feeding in the fields.

Lastly, give your animal sufficient clean water every now and then. This helps in the digestion system. You need also to let it lick nutritious products that have mineral salts to help it grow healthy. Moreover, after two and a half months you should see to it that the animal is administered deworming drugs to ensure that its health flourishes.
