The horse moves to a new stable

In nature, horses quickly occupy a certain niche in the herd and hold on to it, getting used to the “collective”. And the change of herd and stable can be perceived by the horse very negatively. Therefore, the task of a person is to make moving to a new stable as less painful as possible.In the photo: a horse is brought into a horse carrierJoe Bird offers 5 rules to help a horse get used to a new home and possibly a new owner.

1. If we are talking about a change of owner and he wants to change the name of the horse, you should not do it right away. You can choose another name that will be phonetically as close to the old one as possible.
2. Changes to the horse’s diet are introduced gradually.
3. If possible, continue to use things the horse is used to: feeder, reptu, blanket, etc. Later they can be replaced, but in the first stage they help the horse to adapt faster and easier.
4. Before you release a horse into an unfamiliar herd, let it make friends with one of its members.
5. If the horses walk around the clock, the beginner should be taken out no later than an hour before dusk. So he will be able to explore the site in daylight.

 As a rule, horses, having spent the night in a new place, get used to it and to a new life routine.
