A horse that does not require a lot of attention in terms of not needing lots of special food or constant attention by a veterinarian or farrier (horse shoer) generally is called "an easy keeper".

But don't forget that horses are herd animals and need to have lots of attention from their herd mates (other horses) and lots of care and affection from those who own them.

All horses need a safe environment, access to grass or hay, a constant supply of fresh water, daily attention, and periodic visits from the vet and the farrier.

When a horse is sweating what should you do?

If you are riding, there is not much you can do right away. When you are done riding, take your horse to a hose and rise off the sweat with water- make sure it is the right temperature. If you only have a hose in a place where you can't hose horses, then take a sponge, soak it, and then squeeze it over your horse. If your horse is fuzzy, maybe you should think about clipping your horse's coat. If not, it is just hot, I would not be too worried. If your horse is sweating and it isn't hot, or you aren't working the horse, you should talk to an expert, preferrably the vet.


How do you care for a Palomino Horse?

Horses take a TON of responsibility, work, care, and money$$$. Every day, you have to feed, groom, exercise, and muck out the horse's stall. You have to muck out the stall twice a day in the summer, because of insects/parasites. You have to clean the horse's tack, grooming supplies, blankets, and all supplies. You have to have vet checks, and a farrier to take care of your horse's hooves. You ALWAYS have to put the horse's needs over yours, and its NOT just riding. You should spend much more time caring/spending time with your horse than riding. A horse has emotions and needs, and you can't just get on, ride around, and throw the horse back into the stall. Take a ton of riding lessons first and learn a BUNCH about horse care before purchasing/adopting a horse.
