horses can graze up to 16 hours a day on a fertile open range. But when they start to eat non-food items, that’s where they can cause themselves a lot of digestive problems. And their owners a lot of grief (not to mention vet bills).

A few days ago, I shared an article with you about how giving your horse too much rest can be detrimental to his physical conditioning. While that's very true, the opposite extreme is also something you want to avoid: over-exerting your horse. If your horse is in a constant state of exhaustion and you stress him further yet, you risk injuring him. So how do you know how much is too much exercise?

Horse trainer, Penny Wheat may very well set the record for having trained the largest trick horse in the world…and the smallest. She uses some specialized tack to train her horses, but what's interesting is what she doesn't use - a bit.

How can your child benefit from your owning a horse? Many, many ways. Caring for an animal encourages a child to be responsible, as well as encouraging teamwork. The routine of feeding and caring helps instill a sense of organization and discipline. And a child who is shy or nervous can actually gain self-confidence from handling and being around a larger animal.

Here are Horse IQ, we spend a lot of time talking about the finer points of horse ownership. But I want to make an effort to spend more time with people who are considering their first horse. Particularly for a child. How do you know if your child is ready to take on the kind of responsibility a horse requires?

Professional athletes stretch their muscles before a strenuous athletic event. Your horse is also an athlete. So should he be stretching his muscles too? Or will a horse stretch on his own without any prompting from you? They do. But you can help prevent them prevent an injury by stretching their muscles for them…

Like our human eyes, a horse's eyes seem to have a mind of their own. They just know when they need protection from something bright. So they squint. But if you find your horse squinting even when there's no apparent reason to, he may have picked up a foreign object in his eye. If this happens, do you know what to do?
