For the horse's comfort I always want to make sure the coat is free of any mud, dirt or hair clumps that can become irritating under the saddle when being ridden. I then check to make sure there are no sores on my horse's back or cinch area. If there are saddle sores present, I use extra padding or a girth pad. Though most people may want to consider letting the sores heal before riding
I hope by the conclusion of this essay you realize the hard work, challenges, and responsibility put into the horseman’s sport. Horseback riding is not only a sport, but a lifestyle. Horseback riders live their lives from the moment their foot rests in the stirrup, learning responsibility and individualism- not just for themselves, but also caring for others. Being a horseman, you learn that you grow as an individual and as a team with your horse. Your teammate is almost exactly like a teammate on a football or soccer team, except with immense differences.
When it comes to saddling a horse, there are many different steps to getting the job done. To begin the process, always brush the horse’s back and belly to get rid of any foreign objects that could cause a pinch or stick in the animal’s skin. Next, check the equipment for the same objects such as stickers, mud or anything else. Then throw the saddle blanket on (making sure it is even) and throw the saddle on. The last thing to do is tighten up the front and back cinches and check over all of the equipment.
Wound Dressings: Wet to Dry According to the article, “The issues surrounding the continued use of saline soaked gauze dressings”, using wet to dry dressings for wounds healing by second intention may actually have a detrimental effect on wound healing and patient comfort. The article stated that saline soaked dressings may prolong inflammation by adhering to granulation tissue during debridement causing the wound to return to an earlier inflammatory stage. The author also states that this will also cause increased pain for the patient. In addition, debridement in this manner can also cause dehydration of the wound and cause further pain by exposing nerve endings to air and cold saline several times a day during dressing change. Also mentioned, is the increased risk of localized hypothermia and risk for infection as wet gauze to the wound can cause vasoconstriction and in theory, also decrease leukocyte mobility and efficiency of phagocytes.

Support: If one were to drive up behind a horse on a ATV, the loud motor or engine of the vehicle can easily put a horse on edge, or cause them to act antsy or aggressive, since they may relate the sound to eating food or treats. 2. Support: Since something so simple as a quick movement to catch something or running to catch up with friends can spook a horse, somebody on a bike or scooter flying by can really put a horse in a position to do everything they can to get away from whatever is coming at them so quickly. B. Subpoint: Using something as simple as shaving clippers, a puddle of water, or reaching into a plastic bag can cause the horse to become tense and on high alert. They begin to prepare for getting out, and getting out
It is noted that in the absence of a progressive terminal disease, the feeding tube may be used to prolong life and since the patient is not dying of another cause, discontinuing the feeding tube would imply a desire to cause the patient’s death. In this context most of the controversy occurs. If the patient is able to express one’s views now, or in the past has clearly expressed one’s desires on this issue, they should be considered. Too frequently, a statement is made in very clear-cut terms whether or not to use a feed tube. It would be wiser, rather than saying yes or no, to discuss the context in which one
People with autism do not often know how to react normally to social stimulus because their senses are already overloaded and they cannot focus on just one point. This difficulty in integrating the senses often causes them to either isolate themselves or to throw tantrums. Through horse therapy, the autistic person can be motivated to engage socially through their relationship with the horse and might view the opportunity to ride the horse as rewarding stimulus. A study by Bass, Duchowny and Llabre (2009) shows that participants in therapeutic horseback riding demonstrated that they could maintain directed concentration, listen to directions and give commands to the horse, which is indicative of active engagement and involvement. Once the autistic person is accustomed to dealing with the horse, he or she will learn that in order to make the horse perform in a certain way, he must communicate with the animal and the horse trainer.
Imagine that you are going through all these procedures not knowing what is wrong with you. This can be incredibly terrifying. Usually when someone is scared they also become nervous and stop thinking clearly. Now I don’t know about you, but if I had a deadly disease I would want to know what it is so I can have a fighting chance. Also I would want to be in the healthiest condition possible.
