Saddle Up: 15 Equestrian Life Hacks for Horse Lovers

Equestrianism is a beautiful sport that requires patience, dedication, and a deep understanding of horses.

Whether you're a seasoned rider or just starting out, there are a few equestrian life hacks and tips that can make your life easier and your horse's life more comfortable.

1. How to tie lead - When tying a lead rope, use a quick release knot that you can untie easily in case of an emergency. The bowline knot is a good option for this.
2. How to make elad spray - Mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. This can be used as a natural fly spray for your horse.
3. Braid horse manes - Use rubber bands to braid your horse's mane, and braid it tightly for a neat appearance. You can also add ribbons or beads to give it a more decorative look.
4. Use syringes - Syringes can be useful for administering medication or supplements to your horse. Be sure to use a clean syringe each time and dispose of it properly.
5. Breakaway - Use breakaway halters or ties when trailering your horse to prevent injuries in case of an accident.
6. Vinegar - Add a small amount of apple cider vinegar to your horse's water to help with digestion and prevent colic.
7. Pool noodles - Use pool noodles to pad the edges of stall doors and gates to prevent your horse from injuring itself.
8. Travelling with horses - When traveling with your horse, be sure to bring plenty of water and hay to keep them hydrated and fed. Also, check the weather forecast and plan accordingly.
9. Barn organization hack - Use a shoe organizer to store brushes, combs, and other small horse grooming supplies. Hang it on a stall door for easy access.
10. Hay hack - Use a hay net to slow down your horse's eating and prevent them from overeating or wasting hay.
11. Water troughs - Clean your horse's water trough regularly to prevent the growth of bacteria and keep the water fresh.
12. Hay net filling - Use a plastic container or bucket to fill a hay net, making it easier to fill and less messy.
13. Helmet safety - Always wear a properly fitted helmet when riding to prevent head injuries.
14. Groundwork - Spend time doing groundwork with your horse to build trust and establish a strong foundation for riding.
15. Hoof care - Regularly clean your horse's hooves and have a farrier trim them every 6-8 weeks.
