    Horse 2 Heart

    Born the Year of the Horse by Lisa Rodriguez

    Starting at the age of nine I swapped my surfboard for a horse and started riding on the beach and in the Pacific Ocean in Orange County. I did everything on horseback because I had a disease that prevented me from walking for a couple of years. I swam them in the ocean, rode fence on Irvine ranch, played all manner of mounted games and grew up sitting on a horse, usually bareback.

    AQHA Ranch Horse Becomes A “Husband Horse” by Lisa Rodriguez

    You may or may not have heard the term Husband Horse before. That’s what American Quarter Horse Leo’s Keep Sparkling was brought home to be. It started when my vet, Dr. Janice Posnikoff, called to tell me of a good horse needing rescue. She had watched as I rehabilitated one after the other of the rescues all these years, then got them good homes.

    Causes and Management of Insulin Resistance and Sensitivity

    Insulin resistance in horses can lead to what is called equine metabolic syndrome (EMS). More on Insulin Resistance at TheHorse.com

    “We have diagnosed five or six horses (with EMS) here at Washington State University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital during the past year,” said Nicki Wise, DVM, a WSU second-year equine medicine resident. “Most presented with chronic laminitis, which is the one of the biggest problems for horses that have EMS.”

    “Often, horses with EMS have abnormal fat deposits over their neck, rump, tail, and eyes,” Wise said. “The disease is closely related to Cushing’s disease. Technically it is different, but a lot of the signs are the same. Generally, the disease is not life-threatening, but it will probably shorten their lifespan if these horses are not managed properly.”

    Jockey Calvin Borel will not be riding Rachel Alexndra in the Belmont. Jess Jackson, co-owner of Rachel Alexandra announced the horse needed an vacation and would not race in the Belmont.
    That means Calvin Borel will be able to ride Mine That Bird and possibly win a personal Triple Crown as a jockey on two different horses. They may need to create a trophy for that as it has never been accomplished.

    A story of a renewed spirit for both a horse and a girl by Becca Clayton

    One day I was going to the barn I ride at to see my mean horse, Cheyenne. Cheyenne had bitten me three times the day before and kicked me twice. So I went into her pasture and when she saw me she immediately laid back her ears and snapped at me.

    My older sister Brooke, was going into the pasture to get her amazing horse Moe. Brooke would never let me ride Moe and this hurt my feelings terribly. Even though Brooke knew the confidence I once had, was gone due to Cheyenne, she still did not let me ride Moe.

    Ride Across the Andes in Argentina makes a great equestrian vacation. The ten-day long trek begins at the edge of the wide open plains of Argentine Patagonia. The ride takes you into the rugged mountains, forests and volcanoes of the Chilean Lake District, traversing serene rivers, Indian reservations, ancient larch, beech and monkey puzzle forests and galloping across water meadows and sandy tracks. You are likely to ride some of the great horses on this adventure ride, which would further make Ride Across the Andes once in a lifetime experience!
