Hello! I'm Kelli for Expert Village. I'm going to show you some tips and techniques that I use for basic horse care. Just going to give you a basic overview of some things that you should definitely make sure that you should do on a daily basis to take care of your horse. Of course, you want to make sure that you are providing your horse with the proper nutrients, it's getting the adequate amount of hay and grain that it needs on a daily basis. Most people feed their horses 2 to 3 times a day which is sufficient. You also want to make sure that you have your horse under the care of a very qualified veterinarian and farrier and make sure that they get routine checkups that will ensure that you have a healthy horse. Also to use stalk hair is a real high priority. You want to make sure that you are keeping your stalls nice and clean and as well as making sure that your horse is getting some adequate exercise on a daily basis whether it is getting turned out in a pasture, you are lunging it or riding it. So these are just some basic tips that you want to keep in mind on a daily basis when you are taking care of your horse.
