Complete and careful grooming or your horse is an essential part of maintaining its happiness and health. It increases a horse's circulation, holds potentially problematic skin conditions at bay and fosters trust between the horse and its handler. Grooming is also a good way to check your horse's body for abnormal bumps, abscesses or cuts that might otherwise go unnoticed or stay hidden by its hair.
Ringworm is a fungal skin disease in horses. It is easy to identify and treat and is not a serious condition unless it is left unattended. Nevertheless, ringworm is highly contagious and often spreads quickly from horse to horse, infecting whole barns. The faster ringworm is identified in a horse, the smaller the chances are of that horse passing it on to others. Knowing the causes, symptoms and appearance of ringworm can help horse owners treat the infection and prevent its spread.
There are five most common ways to lease a horse, each with its own purpose.
