We took Oliver, our 2 year old Clydesdale horse down to our river to go swimming. He loved it!
Swimming is one one of the best ways to start a young horse. Swimming benefits horses in so many different areas! We use swimming horses as a means of training. It is especially helpful in starting young horses, like Oliver. We will be doing alot of Oliver’s first training sessions here in the water. Swimming horses makes an easy and enjoyable learning experience for all. And a safer experience as well! Because Oliver had EPM (equine protozoal myeloencephlitis) and is still healing, swimming will specifically be helpful to him in recovery. Swimming gives the horse a highly effective full body workout; improving general fitness, joint flexion and respiration. Depending on water level, the buoyancy of the water reduces concussion and impact on the lower limbs, and encourages an increased range of motion. The high resistance of the water leads to increased muscle activity, and the water pressure helps to reduce swelling, stimulate circulation of the lower limbs and the cold water helps to reduce any pain present. For Oliver, this is great! And SO beneficial.
Follow along with our family as we share our life events while living on our 168 acre homestead, farm and stables!
We are all about raising and training our horses, the Missouri Foxtrotter. Our goal is to bring awareness to this breed and showcase just how wonderful they are! We also raise and train our working border collie dogs. And don’t forget the homesteads sheep, goats and mini cattle!!! We also go to occasional auctions and recently have gotten into regenerative farming/agriculture. We are all about learning how to improve our fields/soil.
Phew! That’s a lot! But we love it! Make sure to subscribe to our channel to follow along!
