How do you take care of Tennessee walking horses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The way you ride a TWH will depend on your own style of riding. You can ride a Walking horse , English, western, saddle seat, and sidesaddle. They type of riding you do will depend on the tack you use. The only thing you may have to adjust to is the feel of the Running walk gait that this breed preforms, but it is a smooth gait with little movement.

Can a blind person ride a horse?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It really depends on the individual horse. Some never adjust while others seem not to notice much at all. I have been to horse shows and have competed against one-eyed horses. And horses that have lost all sight can live long, happy lives if kept in a small enclosure. Many owners of blind horses will put a companion horse with the blind one as a 'seeing-eye horse.

Impairments that can be improved with hippotherapy include: impaired balance responses, coordination, communication, or sensorimotor function difficulties; poor postural control; and decreased mobility.

The word hippotherapy is derived from the Greek word hippo which means horse. (The word hippopotamus also comes from the Greek and means River Horse.)

Therapeutic use of equestrian mounts was pioneered by the Germans in WW2. They called it Reittherapie (ride therapy, implying horse riding).

Although hippotherapy and therapeutic riding have some risks, as do any animal-assisted therapies, in accredited centers the risks are minimal and the benefits outweigh those risks. This type of therapy is growing in the US with new programs developing around the nation. Programs that are certified by NARHA, the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, have undergone rigorous inspections and found to provide a safe and therapeutic environment that meets their strict standards.

See the links section associated with this question for additonal information from NARHA and a NARHA-accredited "Premier Accredited Center" in the US, SIRE Houston's Therapeutic Equestrian Centers, a non-profit organization.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Horses are hoofed mammals that have 24 teeth specially adapted for chewing their favorite foods. But what are these favorite foods? What do horses eat? This post will answer that question, and also look at some interesting facts about horses.

What do Horses Eat?

Horses love to eat grass and plant materials. They eat what are known as legumes. The best known legumes are peas, beans, peanuts, lentils, alfalfa and carob. Horse owners usually feed their horses a mixture of grass and legumes which is called hay. Some owners feed horses oats and corn (maize). Horses also enjoy eating fruit, especially apples. Carrots are also given to some horses as a treat. Horses also need a high amount of salt in their diets, because they drink a lot of water. Owners usually leave a pile of salt (sometimes called a salt lick) that horses will lick during the day.
