Horses that are not treated, or treated too late after the onset of clinical signs, are at risk of death. [17] Horses should not be fed directly on the ground in areas where sand, dirt and silt are prevalent, [17] although small amounts of sand or dirt may still be ingested by grazing. Management to reduce sand intake and prophylactic ...
Cats moult fur around spring-summer time to get rid of their "winter coat". Cats have thicker fur during the colder winter months to keep them warm, then around spring and summer they shed some of their fur to get a thinner coat for the warmer summer months. Some cats need brushing during moulting, since dead hairs can get trapped in the cat's fur.
However, a horse should always be groomed before being ridden to avoid chafing and rubbing of dirt and other material, which can cause sores on the animal and also grind dirt into horse tack. Grooming also allows the horse handler to check for injuries and is a good way to gain the trust of the animal.

Some brindle-colored horses are more eye-catching than others. With this coat pattern there is a base coat that covers the entire body of the horse. This base coat color can be any color.
A long mane may be placed into five to seven long, relatively thick braids between shows to keep it in good condition, to help it grow, and to minimize debris and dirt from entering. Breeds mandated to show with a long mane keep a long mane in almost all disciplines, even those where show etiquette normally requires thinning or pulling.

Horses can become anxious or stressed if there are long periods of time between meals. They also do best when they are fed on a regular schedule; they are creatures of habit and easily upset by changes in routine. [1] When horses are in a herd, their behavior is hierarchical; [67] the higher-ranked animals in the herd eat and drink first. Low ...
