What is a complaining horse?

There are certain signals your horse will give you to let you know he is unhappy. It varies from horse to horse. Pinned ears and a swishing tail are two very good indicators of your horse's emotions. There are also behaviours such as cribbing, air sucking, weaving, stomping, pacing and/or kicking the wall in his stall that should be red flags that he is grumpy. He may be in pain, bored, lonely or he may want dinner. Make sure he gets plenty of 'horse time', turn-out time so he can run, play and/or roll in the dirt as God intended. Vary your riding or practice with a trail ride now and then to keep both of you fresh and alert.

Can you touch a horses muzzle?

You can, if you be careful not to bring your hand too low down to the nose. The nose is not a place where you should pet a horse because they can and will bite you. The best place to pet a horse is on the forehead or neck. If a horse is particularly head-shy (or not willing to let you pet him anywhere on his head), giving him a scratch or rub on the neck is the best way to make friends with a horse.

Why does your feet hurt to stand on first thing in the morning?

Plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis is that pain in the bottom of your foot usually felt around your heel. That pain especially hurts first thing in the morning when you try to get out of bed and stand on your feet, or after sitting for awhile.

The meaning of the name plantar fasciitis is: "Plantar" means the lower part of the foot, "fascia" is a type of connective tissue, and "itis" means "inflammation". The plantar fascia band runs in the bottom of your foot from your heel to the toes. Plantar Fasciitis is caused by wounding the tough plantar fascia band in the bottom of your foot. It hurts in the morning because the band contracts while sleeping with the foot in a pointed position and the first few steps out of bed stretch the band into pain.

How can a skier slow to a complete stop?

What I usually do, as a beginner skier is point the toes inward, it slows you down a lot the more inward you go.. Just don't trip. This is called a snowplow and at slower speeds it is very effective but another way to stop which is better at higher speeds or if you need to stop quickly is called the hockey stop. Hockey stoping takes practice but once you get it, it is a lot easier. This is where you turn very quickly to the side and dig your edges into the snow, again don't trip and don't try to stop too fast, if you do I can guarantee you will fall.

A horse may refuse to enter a barn it has been stabled in for 15 years due to a negative association or trauma linked to that space, such as a recent injury or stressful event. Changes in the environment, such as new smells, sounds, or the presence of unfamiliar animals, can also create anxiety. Additionally, health issues or physical discomfort may make the horse reluctant to enter. Understanding the specific cause often requires careful observation and, if needed, consultation with a veterinarian or equine behaviorist.
