Those white growths are most likely Aural Plaques. Aural plaques are benign, raised, crusty, white skin growths on the interior surface of the ear. If you see raised lesions, with a hard, scaly appearance, it’s probably aural plaques. You might also see rounded, knob like protuberances within the scaly area. If your horse is resisting…
Creeping Indigo (Indigofera spicata and Indigofera hendecaphylla) is a perennial legume that was once thought to hold great promise as a fodder that could form well-balanced mixtures with grasses. It was brought to the state of Florida in the United States in 1925 (from Africa) and it was also imported as a potential pasture legume by…
There’s a common myth that only unhealthy horses, or horses who aren’t regularly attended to, are susceptible to lice infestation (otherwise known as pediculosis). If you haven’t found out the hard way that this simply isn’t true, there’s also a research study that proves that healthy horses can become infested with lice. Why are we bringing…
No, we don’t think horses will be sporting fancy eye glasses (like the horse featured in this post) as a result of a study that’s gotten recent attention. Nor do we believe that the study, which found that two-thirds of horses have normal vision while the remainder of horses are either nearsighted or farsighted, will…
We’ve been seeing the same question popping up in forums over and over again now that the weather has turned “freezing cold” across the U.S. Horse owners are looking for an economical way to provide their horses with warm water and want a way to stop their horse’s water bucket from freezing. For some, it’s…
Cuba’s horse racing industry once flourished at the country’s only horse racing track, Oriental Park. Oriental Park Racetrack opened in 1915 and was operated by the Havana-American Jockey Club of Cuba. It was open during the winter months and many of America’s top stables brought their best horses to Oriental Park Racetrack to compete. It’s also…
The EU Commission has announced that the European horse riding helmet standard BS EN 1384 is going to be withdrawn from the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) at its next publication. This means that riding helmet manufacturers will no longer be able to CE-mark their helmets using this standard and will need to…
Is your horse looking a little scruffy these days? Is his normal 5 o’clock shadow starting to resemble ZZ Top (young folk, feel free to click the link if you don’t get the ZZ Top reference)? Well before you get out those trimmers, you should know that the whiskers on a horse’s muzzle have a name,…
You can’t “sell ice to an Eskimo,” but apparently you can sell sand to a country in the middle of the desert, IF they have a horse racing track! According to a report published this past Friday in The Daily Mail, Dubai ordered 1,500 cubic meters of sand from a company in Germany for their…
When compared to motorcycle riding, horse riding activity has a higher hospital admission rate of 0.49/1000 hours versus 0.14/1000 hours. These were the results found in a research paper published in The American Journal of Surgery back in 2007. Not only is horse riding statistically more dangerous than riding a motor cycle, but it’s also a more…
No, this isn’t the opening line of a hilarious joke. This past Friday a Mississippi pastor dressed up a horse in a wedding dress! Why? To protest a federal judge’s ruling (currently on hold) to overturn the state’s ban on gay marriage. He stood outside the federal courthouse building with this horse who was not…
This is one of those cases where we won’t know who’s in the “right/wrong” until we hear all the details, but here’s a quick summary of what we do know: Zoey Deschanel is being sued by a horse owner named Patty Parker. Parker is suing actress Zooey Deschanel (who stars in the Fox sitcom New…

The International Olympic Committee voted today in favor of a more flexible sports program that scraps the limit of 28 sports at the Summer Games. They want to move to an “events-based” system that would allow new competitions as long as there are about 10,500 athletes and 310 medal events over all. In addition to baseball…
Every horse can make up to 50 pounds of manure every day! WOW! The problem (aside from shoveling all of it), is that the nutrients in manure and urine can get into the ground and surface waters, eventually rendering them undrinkable. On December 9th, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m, My Horse University and eXtension…
An out-of-state visitor was driving his car along a back country road when he suddenly lost control and drove straight into a deep ditch. Lucky for him, a farmer happen to come along about 20 minutes later with his big old horse named Monty. The man asked for help. The farmer said, “No problem, Monty…
