  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Hi, this is, is she able with the horse human connection matrix?
• 0:04
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Recently I've interviewed some people that might seem a little off subject for horses and humans and that connection that started the podcast.
• 0:13
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: In my mind though.
• 0:15
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: The matrix is so about what horses teachers teach us about life and about interacting with each other.
• 0:23
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Trying to stay somewhat on topic though.
• 0:26
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Today, I'm going to talk about being an older adult.
• 0:30
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And having a lot of information that's been accumulated over the years.
• 0:36
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And what to do with that.
• 0:38
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And I'm going to talk a little bit about health care of horses for beginners.
• 0:44
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So those people out there that are listeners and a part of the quiet revolution in the horse world, moving away from absolute dominance.
• 0:52
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If you have students or newcomers to being with horses this podcast may be really helpful for them.
• 1:01
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Just to outline some basics and to introduce other areas that they may, and we'll need to know more about.
• 1:12
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I also want to tell my listeners that.
• 1:16
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: There is a button to donate if you feel moved to do so.
• 1:20
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And that more than that, I'm not, I'm not doing this for the money.
• 1:24
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I'm doing this because I have a purpose.
• 1:26
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And that is the quiet revolution in the horse world.
• 1:29
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If you know anybody that might benefit from listening to the podcast, please share it.
• 1:34
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It's easy to.
• 1:35
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Cut and paste it in apple podcasts or in Spotify.
• 1:39
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And to just text it to a friend or a coworker.
• 1:43
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I've also been contemplating starting a new podcast with a partner podcaster.
• 1:50
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And we're not quite clear on a name for that yet, but it might be something like.
• 1:56
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: The human.
• 1:59
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Matrix in nature.
• 2:02
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Something to that effect.
• 2:04
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Anyways, watch for that.
• 2:05
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I'll talk more about it and probably put a link in the show notes.
• 2:09
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: As we get closer to releasing those podcasts, they should be some really great conversations about.
• 2:15
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: What people can do to help shift the culture.
• 2:19
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So.
• 2:20
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: In a way, the quiet revolution is a.
• 2:25
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Metaphor.
• 2:27
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: For how we can shift our culture as well, away from dominance away from false belief narratives away from what's happened in world governments and economics.
• 2:38
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Way to become more aware, which starts with slowing down.
• 2:42
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So the new podcasts are more about that.
• 2:46
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: More about the human matrix in nature and how we interact with nature.
• 2:50
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And how we have gotten so far away with our thinking, which of course creates our reality.
• 2:58
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And busting up some myths because there's a lot of myths that need to be busted.
• 3:05
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I'm going to jump in about being an older adult.
• 3:09
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Oh, I turned 62 in January.
• 3:13
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And.
• 3:15
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I have.
• 3:16
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I have some skills as, as a deep listener.
• 3:21
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And I know that there's a lot of healing that takes place as a deep listener.
• 3:26
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: One of the other reasons I started this podcast is I have a lot to say, but I also.
• 3:32
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Don't want to push people away or inundate them with all the information that I've accumulated in six decades.
• 3:40
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And.
• 3:42
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I want to be respectful of that, but I also want to be a resource.
• 3:47
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I can remember being young in my twenties and before, and even in my forties and being around older adults who just seem to need to talk and talk and talk and had very little awareness of what other people were going through or how to relate to them.
• 4:03
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I don't want to be that person.
• 4:05
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And if you're over.
• 4:07
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Random number 58.
• 4:09
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: You don't want to be that person either.
• 4:12
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Cultivating skills for being a deep listener.
• 4:15
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Finding a place to channel all of your knowledge where people can accept it or not.
• 4:23
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Seems important.
• 4:25
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So a podcast is a great resource for doing that.
• 4:28
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I can talk into this microphone.
• 4:30
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: For half hour at a time hour at a time now I don't usually go on that long, but it, it gives me a place to channel things that might be helpful for people without offending them or.
• 4:46
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Cutting into time where I could be deeply connected with my heart, to them through listening and.
• 4:52
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: In reality.
• 4:54
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: My brain knows.
• 4:55
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And my heart knows that what younger people really need is a listener, not more information.
• 5:03
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Somewhere deep inside me.
• 5:05
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I know that even my kid and my grandchild will figure it out without my help.
• 5:13
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: In the terms of information.
• 5:16
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So there you have it.
• 5:17
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It's always a fine line, a tight rope to walk with unsolicited information that people you think they need, but they might not be asking for.
• 5:27
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If you do feel moved to start a podcast, Buzzsprout has a series of, I believe, five podcasts on how to do a podcast that make it super easy, super cheap.
• 5:37
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And It can be a really, a really great way to leave a bit of a legacy.
• 5:43
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Okay, I'm going to start talking about.
• 5:45
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Horses again.
• 5:49
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So when I was new to horses, I was very lucky to have some experts in the field, mentor me and teach me.
• 5:56
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And yeah, I gave him some money.
• 5:58
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And I learned a lot about not just how to ride, but how to care for a horse.
• 6:03
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And I learned at every time you are on a horse or even walking a horse.
• 6:08
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Or feeding them, you are also training them.
• 6:10
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: You're interacting with them.
• 6:14
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Those are really important concepts that everything we do.
• 6:18
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Has an effect.
• 6:19
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Just like people, right.
• 6:23
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: One of the hot topics as I'm gazing out on my barn with about an inch of snow and ice on it is blankets.
• 6:31
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Do horses need horse blankets?
• 6:33
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: When do they need horse blankets?
• 6:35
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So there's a general rule that says don't put a horse blanket on, unless it's under 36 degrees.
• 6:43
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Definitely take a horse blanket off.
• 6:45
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If it's over.
• 6:47
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: 40 degrees.
• 6:51
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And the horses.
• 6:53
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: That are going to have a blanket, probably need one.
• 6:57
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: When we approach freezing or 28, 28 seems to be where my horses here in middle Southern Oregon, where it's a very damp.
• 7:06
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So our cold feels very cold.
• 7:09
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Want to have a blanket?
• 7:12
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Ah, there's so many like nuances to blankets though.
• 7:15
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: When.
• 7:17
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: In the time of year in the approach to winter, do you put on a blanket?
• 7:21
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: What if it gets really cold in October?
• 7:24
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: No.
• 7:24
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Don't put a blanket on horses.
• 7:26
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Need enough exposure to cold, to shiver a little.
• 7:31
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: In order to stimulate a good winter hair growth.
• 7:34
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So we don't want to stop that by putting a blanket on them too soon.
• 7:39
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Allow them to grow a coat before you begin to blink at them.
• 7:43
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And they're going to be some exceptions to this.
• 7:46
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: There are people that may have a very different idea.
• 7:48
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If you're dealing with a 30, 40, 50, a hundred thousand dollar horse, it's in a barn all the time.
• 7:53
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I'm not even gonna talk about that cause.
• 7:55
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: My mind can't go there or wrap around what those horses go through or the people that own them.
• 8:02
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: But in a middle situation.
• 8:05
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: When a horse needs a blanket or would appreciate a blanket is after they have a winter coat.
• 8:11
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: On a day that it's going to get below freezing.
• 8:15
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And.
• 8:16
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It's also important to look at.
• 8:19
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: How long is it going to be freezing we have these wonderful devices that break our weather down in little increments of.
• 8:27
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: What it is every hour.
• 8:29
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And I don't really trust my iPhone up here in my region.
• 8:32
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It is always wrong, but there's a lot of places.
• 8:35
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: To at least get an idea that you know, where I am.
• 8:38
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: The coldest part of the night is between four and 6:00 AM.
• 8:44
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So there are many nights that my phone says, oh, it's only going to be 33 degrees until 4:00 AM.
• 8:52
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: At which point it might drop down maybe even as low as 28, but only for an hour or two.
• 8:59
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So the exposure of how long your horse is exposed to super cold weather is a factor too.
• 9:06
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Just like it is taking it off in the afternoon.
• 9:08
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I drive all over Douglas county and see horses blanketed at 50 degrees.
• 9:13
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I think they're miserably sweating.
• 9:15
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: But if it's only 50 degrees for an hour, At 4:00 PM.
• 9:21
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Maybe it's not quite that bad.
• 9:23
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Or if the horse has a lot of shady pockets in its pasture, maybe it's not so bad.
• 9:31
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If the wind's blowing hard.
• 9:33
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Maybe it's okay.
• 9:35
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So the things we need to look at are not just what the temperature is.
• 9:41
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: What is the moisture in the air?
• 9:42
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: How long is it going to be that temperature?
• 9:46
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Are you going to be able to get out there?
• 9:48
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And take the blanket off if it turns 60 degrees that day, and it was 28 that night, what's the better deal having the horse to hot or having the horse too cold.
• 9:59
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Taking in the windshield factor, taking in the ability to get inside a barn, to get in the shade, to get to shelter, to get out of the wind.
• 10:08
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: All of these things come into play.
• 10:10
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: When we're talking about when to put a horse blanket on not to mention how thick is the horse blanket, some are just like, are.
• 10:18
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Raincoat a windbreaker, which is definitely going to trap heat and help keep the horse warmer.
• 10:24
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: But it's not the same as like a quilted blanket.
• 10:27
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Or a blanket with some polyfill.
• 10:32
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So that's my take on horse blankets.
• 10:34
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: There's no absolute correct.
• 10:37
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Answer, but there's lots of things to consider.
• 10:40
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Think about your horse when you're putting on the horse blanket.
• 10:43
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: When that next topic for beginners is laminitis also called founder.
• 10:49
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: When your horse is standing with its front feet and back feet closer together.
• 10:55
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Then having a straight line from the shoulder to the Hough.
• 10:59
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Meaning they're angled in.
• 11:02
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Not front to front, but front to back.
• 11:06
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: That's a time to be concerned.
• 11:08
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: When your horse.
• 11:10
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Has a crusty part.
• 11:12
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Just above.
• 11:13
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It's Withers on its neck and by crusty, I mean, It doesn't flex easily.
• 11:19
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It feels like there's a fat muscle.
• 11:23
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Conglomeration there that's that stiff.
• 11:26
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It's not super flexible.
• 11:27
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: That can be an indicator of how the fat is stored.
• 11:31
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And if your horse may become laminate at certain breeds, a lot of draft horses.
• 11:36
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Morgan's.
• 11:37
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Some of the larger horses are going to be more susceptible to laminitis or founder.
• 11:44
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Than other breeds, like quarter horses and Mustangs.
• 11:50
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Laminitis is to horses.
• 11:52
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: What diabetes is to people.
• 11:55
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It's too much sugar.
• 11:56
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It's too much food and too much sugar.
• 11:59
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And in end stages, laminitis has a very, very horrible.
• 12:05
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Outcome in that the hook can be come detached from the horse and the horse will need to be put down, or it will become loose and rotate at the coronary band.
• 12:19
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: My terminology may not be exactly Lead correct on those things, but you get the general idea.
• 12:28
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So let's talk about sugar in grasses.
• 12:31
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Many different kinds of grasses.
• 12:33
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Some are much higher in sugar and protein.
• 12:37
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And fiber content.
• 12:39
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And carbohydrates.
• 12:40
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And if you buy.
• 12:42
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Grass seed pellets at your feed store.
• 12:45
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And you look at the back of either the card they have hanging or read the package carefully.
• 12:49
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: You'll be able to compare.
• 12:51
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Those nutrients in the types of grass pellets.
• 12:57
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So there's Taft, there's orchard grass, there's meadow, grass, there's alfalfa.
• 13:03
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And there's Timothy.
• 13:05
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: All of these grasses are going to be a little bit different.
• 13:08
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: In my research test is the best for my laminated course because it's the lowest in sugar.
• 13:15
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Buying hay.
• 13:17
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: In my county, I can rent a plunge tester that pulls a core sample from my local extension office.
• 13:26
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: To test the hay.
• 13:27
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So I know how much sugar is in it.
• 13:30
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I know how much protein is in it before I buy it.
• 13:33
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It's a lot of trouble, but if you have a horse that maybe facing laminitis, it's probably worth doing.
• 13:41
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: There's also places on Facebook and I will look for links to put in the show notes.
• 13:47
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I can't remember off the top of my head where people have done research on.
• 13:51
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Minerals.
• 13:53
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And.
• 13:54
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Sugar absorption.
• 13:56
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And the best I remember of this is that are up there.
• 14:00
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Uptake receptors for iron zinc and copper are the same receptor.
• 14:05
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If a horse gets and they have a certain ratio of each of these, I think.
• 14:10
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I don't want to quote it wrong, but the iron is definitely more than the zinc and the copper.
• 14:14
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And there are percentages.
• 14:16
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And one year I put some iron.
• 14:20
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: In my pasture to kill the loss.
• 14:23
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And my horses minerals got all screwed up.
• 14:26
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: My horse never been so laminate.
• 14:28
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And what I found out is that.
• 14:31
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: The uptake receptors for those three minerals are the same receptor.
• 14:36
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So if they have too much iron, they will become deficient in copper and zinc.
• 14:41
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And somehow the balance of those three minerals affects how they metabolize the sugar in the grass or the pasture.
• 14:49
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So these things are really important.
• 14:51
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If your horse is sick, it can be a nutritional issue.
• 14:55
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And yeah, there's probably some metabolic medications that can help, but I always try to approach diet before medicine.
• 15:04
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: In the pasture, the length of the grass, the type of the grass, the time of day, and the temperature all affect the sugar in the grass.
• 15:13
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So here's the basics.
• 15:15
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It's better to graze at night.
• 15:17
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Between 10 and two in the warmer months, the sugar content is higher in your grass.
• 15:23
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Keep your horse off the pastor does between 10 and two in the spring and summer, if you think she or he is The height of the grass.
• 15:33
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If the grass is less than three inches, the sugar content is higher.
• 15:39
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If the grass is between three and seven inches, it's optimal.
• 15:43
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If it's over seven inches, it may be going to seed with a higher protein content, which also affects.
• 15:49
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: The nutrition and the laminitis.
• 15:51
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I know that was a lot of information.
• 15:54
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I'm going to recap.
• 15:58
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If your horse has warm hoofs or a warm Huff.
• 16:01
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If your horse says, neck is especially non flexible.
• 16:07
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Especially in the area above the Withers.
• 16:10
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Be suspicious of laminitis or founder.
• 16:13
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If your horse is standing with its front and rear legs together where there's an.
• 16:19
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Closer together then straight down.
• 16:22
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Be suspicious of laminitis.
• 16:25
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Laminitis is like horse diabetes.
• 16:28
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It's about sugar.
• 16:29
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Metabolizing.
• 16:31
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: There are minerals that affect this.
• 16:36
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: The type of grass you feed is important.
• 16:39

• 17:06
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I don't mean just like an occasional itch, but repetitive.
• 17:09
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If you see a bunch of lick marks on their side watch them for a while.
• 17:14
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If a horse is rolling a lot or doesn't look well and is laying down for a long period of time, those can all be signs of colic.
• 17:23
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Colic is a constriction in the intestines.
• 17:29
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: There are some over the counter remedies that can help relax that and help.
• 17:33
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I think most vets will write a prescription or give you.
• 17:38
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: A Banamine paste, which is also the cure.
• 17:44
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: For colic.

• 17:51
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If it's laying down, put a halter on and get that horse up.
• 17:54
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If you can't get it up, call the vet.
• 17:57
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Walking the horse until it poops.
• 17:59
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Once you see the horse poop, you know, that whatever constriction has been causing that discomfort in their abdomen has released.

  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If you're walking a horse around and it's not pooping.
• 18:10
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: You can try bringing it to the trailer.
• 18:13
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: A lot of horses will poop before they get in the trailer.
• 18:16
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And so just the anticipation of needing to load up can stimulate the nervous release of a good poop.
• 18:25
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And you can be more relieved.
• 18:27
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: It is always good to follow up with your vet with a phone call.

  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Contacting vets, at least for my experience, quite difficult.
• 18:40
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: So many options on that phone and the buttons and getting a real person and that actually getting to the vet or emailing and waiting three days for a response.
• 18:49
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: I know they're doing the best they can, but.
• 18:52
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Man, I wish nobody had ever invented the answering machine.

• 19:43

• 19:45
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: And sometimes I, not that my vet recommends this and I'm not a medical professional.

• 19:56
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Antibiotic creams drops ointments that the vet will give you.
• 20:00
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: The thing about AISES.
• 20:02
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: If you have a cream from before that has a steroid and your horse actually has a scratch or an abrasion in their eye.
• 20:10

• 20:20
  Samson Q2U Microphone & FaceTime HD Camera: Prescription appointments with steroids or antibacterial ointments without steroids, it can be confusing.
• 20:28
