The Key to Calm Healthy Horses by Jenny Patterson

Jenny says:
"Change your thinking from ‘Getting Your Horse Right” to “Getting it Right for Your Horse” This seems to be a never ending project for many people. It is very easy to spend a lot of money trying a lot of different things and never quite get there. The key is to understand whether you are just temporarily relieving symptoms or whether you are really fixing the root cause of the problem. Don't waste years battling 'stuff' with your horse that is only due to the very grass he's eating!

The good news is more and more people are getting things ‘right’ for their horse. Their horse’s true personality emerges! They can be consistent all year round. They can be energetic and well behaved and they can cope with the pressure of competitions, strange places or race-day."

This little gem of a book explains how to 'Get it Right for Your Horse'. It covers feeding, exercise, tack and training - explaining how all those things inter-relate. Most importantly this book explains what symptoms may indicate your horse is not quite right yet.

Natural Horse Care the Right Way
by Dr. A Nyland

Ann Nyland could have titled this book ‘Myth Busting Natural Horse Care’ because that’s exactly what it does. If you’ve been using natural or alternative supplements, then you really must read this book. It reveals the truth about many natural products such as apple cider vinegar, garlic, sulphur, herbal wormers, copper, along with many other herbs, minerals and feeds we are using. The contents of this book are backed up by an incredible amount of research with the sources listed in the 21 page bibliography and 17 pages of end notes!

The great thing about this book is it also supplies evidence for the usefulness of some natural minerals and herbs, and discusses the benefits of having our horses barefoot, bitless and treeless.

Young Horse Education DVD by Cynthia Cooper

This double DVD set which is packed with 2.5 hours of step by step instruction was filmed at one of Cynthia's Young Horse Days.
It covers all aspects of training young horses from birth to two year olds, showing you everything from:

~ the first approach and touch
~ catching
~ haltering
~ leading
~ hoof handling
~ worming
~ tying up
~ trailer loading.

Foals, weanlings and yearlings at various stages are used for the demos which show a gentle, natural approach.

Although it wasn't filmed on a professional camera, the editing and production is very good and enables you to find the chapter and information you want on each subject.
This information is essential for you to give your young horse the best possible start in life and comes from Cynthia's 30 plus years of experience with educating foals and starting young horses.

  "I must say though your DVD helped enormously, I have achieved more with this filly than the last one, just with the right methods. So thanks again!" Sue in Sydney.

Light Rider Biothane Bridle Range

Light Rider English Bridle
Light Rider Stockhorse Bridle
Light Rider Western Bridle

• The best looking bitless bridle - looks like a classy traditional bridle.
• Made from high quality Beta ‘Synthetic Leather’ from the USA - easy to care for by sponging with water.
  
• Handcrafted in Australia with solid stainless steel or brass fittings.
• Double thickness material for durability and strength.
  
• Available with or without reins. (reins are soft marine braid in black or brown that offer lightness and release).
  
• Comes in black or chestnut brown in Cob, Full and Warmblood/Draught sizes.

As you can see in the photos, a soft webbing chin strap helps the bridle stay in place when pressure is applied to the reins - this stops the noseband twisting around.

The chinstrap becomes snug and does not over-tighten so this bridle is usually well accepted by sensitive horses.
The swivel snaps on the reins enable you to quickly unclip them to make a lead rope.

Go to Frequently Asked Questions

"Cynthia's new Light Rider, I just love it! It has a snug fit for direct and clear communication.

It doesn't close down on the horse when you are having a conversation about what you would like them to do, and yet it has the "pull through" if you were in a situation where you needed to rely on the rein to pull your horse around into a bend.

Hopefully never, but it could give you confidence to have that ability!

Please Note: This rug has a generous fit so please re-measure your horse from the centre of the chest to the point of buttock before purchasing to be sure of the best fit.

"Nick's rug fits him perfectly, thankyou for getting it to me so
quickly. I put the rug on Nick one night when he was yarded and the weather was a bit unsettled and the next morning it had warmed up very quickly. Nick was nice and comfortable not sweaty like he normally would be and he has stopped walking away when he sees me coming with his rug!"
Sue L. - Westbury, TAS.

Cool Heat Blanket

This revolutionary 'Cool Heat' blanket has a unique contruction that allows the horse to regulate it's own body temperature using its natural thermo-regulation process. There is a good explanation of this on the Macs Equine web site so have a look if you would like to get all the facts.
The Cool Heat Blanket also has a generous tail flap, soft nylon leg straps and crossover surcingles. If your horse has to wear a blanket and you are away when the day warms up, the horse will be far more comfortable in a Cool Heat blanket than any other.This blanket is suprisingly light too - it's 600 denier ripstop waterproof material is seamless and is breathable and, it looks great - just like other top of the range rugs.

"The rug is awesome. Anawa is as snug as a bug in a rug which is particularly good for him as he hates to be hot but seeing he is older now and unwell I like him to have some protection against the wind chill factor. It fits him perfectly and has never moved on any of my horses."

Provide It Supplements

Alleviate - is an effective combination of organic Magnesium, with Boron.
Primarily to provide extra magnesium when the horse is showing signs of deficiency ie: Muscle Tightness, Exciteability, Anxiety when travelling, at events or in a new environment.
When you horse is no longer showing the above signs change to Alelviate Xtra Cal. Alleviate is for short term use.
Magnesium & Grass: During times of rapid grass growth magnesium absorption may be affected, leadin tot major mineral imbalances very quickly.

Alleviate Xtra Cal meets calcium & magnesium requirements. The calcium & magnesium in Xtra Cal are many times more absorbable than regular forms. The dose rates can be adjusted according to whether the horse is breeding, growing, working or grazing oxalate pastures.

Tox-Defy - a daily additive which binds mycotoxins present in feed for grazing animals. It is not a cure. tox-Defy is a helpful natural feed additive made from yeast cell wall extract to help absob toxins in the feed. It is combined with Vitamin E - a major anttioxidant.
Since the presence of fungi and levels of mycotoxins are influenced by weather conditions, it is wide to feed Tox-Defy all year round.
What are Mycotoxins? They are produced by moulds and fungi and hundreds of different mycotoxins can be present at various times of the year.

Supreme Australian-Horse Vit & Min. A blend of top quality vitamins and minerals achieving outstanding results for horses and ponies in Australia. Vitamins and minerals are best replenished daily as they have an important role in maintaining optimum health and behaviour.
From years of experience we have found the best strategy for solving problems is to firstly ensure you are feeding your horse properly, then see what problems are left after a month or two.

Combining Supreme Australian Horse Vit & Min with plain feeds like chaffs, beet pulp (Speedibeet), oats and barley becomes an economical way to feed your horse. Read a detailed product review here.

"I wanted to let you know of the changes I am seeing in my geldings since starting them on the Provide it products; Jazz isn't bucking anymore (he would buck for no reason in the paddock, usually 10 or so in a row), he is also less cranky, and has settled down when Itake the pony out for a ride. Before, he would go nuts, his eyes are cleaner and he has lots of energy and just looks happier in himself.
The pony is now easy to catch and halter again, has heaps of energy, he is trotting around happily for up to an hour when my daughter rides him. Both horses are way less spooky too, and the most amazing thing is they are getting lots of hay (I'm keeping them off the grass) and Jazz appears to be loosing the fat bulges around his shoulders etc. He looks a lot better and it has only been a couple of weeks."

Barefoot Sculptor

Macs Equine has now come up with another helpful tool in the form of a hoof rasp with a handle called the Barefoot Sculptor.
The handle on the rasp makes the job of trimming much safer, especially for beginners or children.

The rasp being slightly smaller and narrower than most, enables the trimmer to 'sculpt' the hoof, particularly in the quarters where a natural arch is required for healthy hoof function. The smaller rasp makes this an ideal tool trimming for ponies and foals.
Having a handle allows you to easily rasp with one hand.

The 'Wild' Loop Knife $129

Easy to use - hoof pick is part of the knife.

Optimises your trimming time

Helps you investigate hoof pathologies

Holds an edge like no other knife

Individually hand crafted from premium quality steel with Tasmanian Blackwood handle.
