Taking Care of Your Older Horse

If you have ever owned a horse or regularly ride one, you have come to realize what wonderful animals they are. Horses are smart and have an amazing memory. Once they know you and trust you, they will be loyal for life. There are many stories of how horses have saved their owner’s lives.

Owning such a horse gives years of fun and companionship. For this reason, when they age it is important to continue this relationship by looking after your senior horse.

Just as we humans notice temperature changes more as we age, it is important to be sensitive to the conditions that your horse is in at this stage of their lives. They aren’t able to do as well with extreme temperature changes. It’s always a good idea to keep a blanket handy in the colder days especially if you live in a higher elevation or where there are cold seasons. In the same way be sure to provide at least one or two shady spots where your horse can escape from the direct sun.

Unless there is a medical reason it is good for your horse to stay active. Although he might not be working, exercise is essential to keep limber, make use of their lungs and other body parts as well as having the joy of experiencing the world around them. Turning him out will also keep the weight gain low and his spirits high.

As your horse ages, his body will go through various changes. This includes his stomach and digestive system. It is essential to feed your horse in with these changes in mind. There are several great supplements in the market that make up for deficiencies in nutrient absorption of senior horses. A favorite is TAHITIAN NONI® Equine EssentialsTM. One of the things that it does is promotes proper feed digestion and nutrient absorption. Another great feature is it supports the equine immune system with superior antioxidant activity.

Have you ever noticed that many senior horses stress easier? My favorite feature of TAHITIAN NONI® Equine EssentialsTM is that it contains adaptogens to help relieve stress. They are much calmer and relaxed. TAHITIAN NONI® Equine Essentials FlexTM was formulated with horses who suffer from joint problems. It supports joint function but also includes MSM, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate as well as the Omega 3 and 6 oils found in the TAHITIAN NONI® Equine EssentialsTM. It has given many a horse a new lease on life. In Australia its trade name is Tahitian Noni™ Equine Formula™  .

Horses can have happy and healthy lives into their 30’s and 40’s if given the proper care, love and support.

Weight Management: Fire up your Metabolism

Everyone knows that a healthy metabolism is one of the most important factors of successful weight loss. If our metabolism is sluggish we tend to store more calories and gain weight rapidly. That is why it is important to be aware of the numerous factors which can improve the function of our digestive system. In this article I will provide several tips on how to fire up your metabolism quickly and naturally.

One of the most common ways of improving your metabolism is through exercise. A lot of people increase their muscle mass in order to burn more calories. It is a well known fact that muscle helps us burn fat, even while at rest. Therefore, the more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn. Another way to improve your metabolism is to eat more fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables are rich in metabolism boosting fiber. Fiber has been a well known digestive system booster for many years. Not only does fruit help us feel full longer but it also provides our bodies with roughage (which makes it easier to get rid of bodily wastes). A diet rich in fruit and veggies can also help us attain quick weight loss. Fruit has been known to help us feel full longer, just as the diet pill known as hoodia. So as you can see, by eating a metabolism booting diet, we are also one step closer to weight loss.

You can also improve your metabolism by eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. If you eat large meals, your metabolism has to work twice as hard just to break down the food and it eventually becomes sluggish. So if you want to lose weight, or simply increase your metabolic rate, remember to follow these few simple steps.
