Why Won't My Horse Pick Up Its Hoof?

Why Won't My Horse Pick Up Its Hoof?
Send us a textIn this episode, April, addresses a question about a horse that refuses to pick up one of its feet. April suggests that the issue is not a training problem but rather a discomfort or pain-related concern. She advises looking at the horse's other feet and checking for signs of laminitis, soreness, or injuries. If the horse is avoiding putting weight on one foot, the focus should be on understanding why it's uncomfortable shifting its weight rather than forcing the foot to be lifted.For front hooves, April recommends positioning the horse uphill to shift more weight to the hind end or providing a soft surface for the other foot to stand on, encouraging the horse to lift the desired foot. She shares a beneficial hoof-soaking recipe for various foot issues. Regarding hind hooves, April suggests considering potential soreness in the SI joint, which can affect the horse's willingness to lift a hind leg. She demonstrates a technique for picking up the hind leg that reduces stress on the SI joint.SI Joint Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8CBET7o4goDavis soaker boots: https://amzn.to/46WvA8JLiquid Trace Minerals: http://bit.ly/3O8XYwNTo keep learning about horses:• Sign up for our email list: https://bit.ly/44t9Q1V• Get the free Horse 101 ebook: https://bit.ly/3ChKAQr• Shop videos & courses: https://bit.ly/43vhsku• See the global clinic schedule: https://bit.ly/3CZiaee• Visit the HHW website: www.holistichorseworks.com Thanks for listening!#holistichorseworkstalks

"Yes/ no" Muscle Testing Your Horse's Supplements
Send us a textIn this episode, April explains muscle testing, which is a technique used to determine the suitability and effectiveness of supplements and products for horses. April explains that muscle testing involves "yes" or "no" answers. She teaches muscle testing in her applied kinesiology class. She emphasizes the importance of assessing the vitality and quality of products before feeding them to horses. By placing a hand on the product packaging, one can ask if its vitality is greater than 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. April also suggests asking if the product is good for the horse and if the horse can assimilate it effectively. She shares her experience using NCD (Natural Cellular Defense) to passively clear the horse's liver and kidneys of toxins, which can affect their overall health. She notes that being emotionally upset can affect the accuracy of muscle testing. Overall, muscle testing can help horse owners save money by ensuring they provide the right products that their horses can effectively assimilate.Watch The Muscle Testing VideoLevel 1 Home Study CourseNatural Cellular DefenseFree e-bookTo keep learning about horses:• Sign up for our email list: https://bit.ly/44t9Q1V• Get the free Horse 101 ebook: https://bit.ly/3ChKAQr• Shop videos & courses: https://bit.ly/43vhsku• See the global clinic schedule: https://bit.ly/3CZiaee• Visit the HHW website: www.holistichorseworks.com Thanks for listening!#holistichorseworkstalks
