There is much to consider when taking on the care and training of an equine. Contrary to what some believe, there is more to do than simply provide grass to eat and a fence around them. They need regular maintenance such as trimming and shoeing, dental, vaccinations, etc. They should be contained with proper fencing and provided with adequate shelter as well as plenty of community time, with you and/or with other animals, in order to stay healthy and happy. Routine care is yet another integral part of their training. When these things are repeated year after year, the equine is given something he can count on—something he knows will make him feel good. When he can count on his experience to be pleasant and pleasurable, he will be a better and more cooperative equine companion.
