Hi From that Thread Show Horses need My Cousin Messed it Up when I went to get Some hay For my Ponies so Im Re-writing it again!

1.For Horses in Novice Competion They Should Get Atleast 1 Hour A-Day of Work.For those in Tougher Competion Maybe about 1Hour 10Mins work A-Day But Not On there Day Off Becouse On that Day It all Pays off For a Nice Rest!

2.If your Horse Sweats Alot During Workouts After The Workout put A cold Hose On there Legs and A Soft Spong down On the Saddle and Neck Area and then Put a Sweat sheet on. For those with Horses who Don't Sweat alot Just Lighly Sponge down The Legs and saddle area and Neck Area.

3.At the End of the Day Competion or not Go and Hack Out on a Long Rein Around A Bridle Path.

4.Atleast You Horse Should Get 12 Hours in The Feild.

5.Atleast Feed Your Horse 12 or 13 Haynets A-day Or If your Horse Has Hard Feed It should have 11 or 12 Haynets + Hardfeed.
