Crooked Rail Stables

Today our Crooked Rail Stables family had to say good bye to one of our own. 🥹💔 🌈
Rest in peace sweet Rhed.
You will be missed. 😢

Thank you Dr. Hayes for your advice and guidance. You are a gem and we are so grateful for you.

And we are so grateful to our barn family! What an amazing group of loving, supportive and caring people. ❤️

Mark your calendars for our Memorial Day super show! Pleasure classes in the morning and Gaming in the afternoon.

Please share this post to spread the word 🇺🇸

Pleasure show judge will be Haley Johnston

Unlike humans, horses are designed to run on a full stomach. Feeding your horse 2-3L of chaff or a biscuit of hay prior to exercise has two benefits :
1️⃣ The chaff will form a ball of feed in the stomach, which will help prevent acid from splashing up from the lower part of the stomach to cause gastric ulcers.
2️⃣ Blood is normally diverted away from the stomach during exercise, which reduces some of its normal protective mechanisms. Research has shown that feeding your horse before exercise actually reduces the amount of blood that is shunted away from the stomach and also increases the amount of blood delivered to the skeletal muscles and muscles of the chest. So not only are you helping to protect the stomach, you also might be improving your horse’s performance.
