Horse Sports TV: Horse Sports For Wired Equine Enthusiasts

With some help from our friends at Absorbine, we were able to put together this education webisode on what to do and not to do when applying and using fly spray. Absorbine donated over $300 worth of fly spray to Chester and family @ the Scarlet and Gold Riding Club aboard Camp Lejeune for this great piece! Thanks Heather!

We've heard from our viewers on many occasions wanting to know more. This webisode, an international postcard tipped the scales and our HorseGirl faced one of her more challenging interviews to date!

Founder itself is really nothing more than the health of the hoof being compromised to the point where the coffin bone can no longer remain attached or held secure in it's proper position. Even though this is in simplified terms, the reality of the matter is that it's extremely painful for the horse to endure. But it's not the kiss of death. As humans may have our body parts broken but it's not the end of the world for us either. We can be repaired and so can our horses. It takes time and patience and rehabilitation.

HorseGirlTV is honored to be a part of the amazing team at WF Young, Inc working with Absorbine closely these last several years. Angelea has used Absorbine since she was 10 years old so its a perfect fit for our host to plug in with a company she admires.

Horses that eat whole food regularly spend less time digesting and absorbing feed and supplements and more time utilizing nutrients to heal and repair their bodies..

Liniment serves many purposes for horses. Today we're going to talk about the three main applications. The liniment that I use comes in a variety of different forms including a trigger spra,, a gel, and even larger sizes of the liquid that I use when mixing with water.

Angelea was fortunate enough to meet up with Bo Lofvander from Back on Track down in Wellington learn about their innovative and highly effective products.

HorseGirlTV gets tons of fan mail with many questions about horse management and training. This was a great question from Ludy in Arizona. Ludy asks, "How do you build a jump?" You'll need some materials including jump cups. Thanks for the question Ludy! Now here's your answer!

In times of uncertainty we often react by cutting corners to save money. The key to keeping your costs and stress low is proactive maintenance. This is very easily applied to the care of your horse and especially important as the weather gets warmer and you are to ride your healthy and happy horse. Here are a few tips in being proactive for keep your horse healthy and helping enjoy the warmer months!

We get lots of questions about how we do things around the studio and stable at HorseGirlTV and do our best to answer as many as possible via the webisodes. We have a pretty neat watering solution for arenas and pastures called the Rapid Rain. It's a simple to use, low maintenance device! Rapid Rain is manufactured in the USA which is always a big plus when we're researching products at HorseGirlTV! The Rapid Rain allows easy watering by automatically rewinding the hose and sprinkler, and shutting off when you choose. No need to move sprinklers around to different areas, or maintain a complicated and costly permanent system. Whether it's watering your yard, dust control for your horse arena, or anywhere else you need a portable watering system, there's a Rapid Rain model that does the work for you! It's definitely on our list of cool tools!

It seems that this year is fast becoming a remembering the earth year at HorseGirlTV. With the farm studio in full swing on the East Coast, implementing and testing quality environmentally friendly products has never been easier. We modified our stable bedding solution about a year ago and have never been happier with the ease of use, decreased waste, horse happiness, quality of product and just general cool factor it's provided. With that, we want to share with you just how wonderful the boutique bedding, Equine Pine is.

Many viewers have emailed in asking about what Angelea uses around the farm for feed, forage and supplements so we decided to cover the basics of supplements. The preferred supplement around the HorseGirlTV farm is Flex+Max because it contains everything we could want in a supplement in it so there's one bucket, one scoop and it's definitely a time saver too. The plus side is being able to feed it to the dogs as well and they love the taste as much as the horses. We use the pellets but you can get it in a powder as well. For more info on Flex+Max you can check out Absorbine's website.

Dr. Tucker has been with horses professionally since 1973. He worked full time on a Thoroughbred breeding and training farm in Bedford Hills, NY. He started as a manure engineer and worked his way up to assistant farm manager. There were up to 20 horses in training and up to 100 mares foaling during the breeding season and about 10 stallions standing at stud. As the foaling manager, Dr. Tucker attended all foalings and assisted deliveries either before the vet arrived or with the help of the vet. He was also responsible for all the preventive medicine on the farm. Angelea talks with Geoff about his passion to give relieve horses and their owners through his natural, low stress methods.

Angelea caught a few minutes to chat with Olympian, Trainer, Coach, USEF President and all around great guy, Mr. David O'Connor to talk about the World Equestrian Games for 2010, his involvement in the United States Equestrian Federation, the future of eventing and his current competition mounts.
