There seems to be a growing openness within the horse world to exploring different ideas, adapting familiar methods and taking inspiration from a range of approaches to horse care and training. In many ways, the editorial mix within Hoofbeats reflects many of the topics and conversations currently happening. The article on separation anxiety explores equine bonds and social relationships and why these behaviours are often linked to environments and management situations.
Feeding the high-strung horse, coronet band damage and what your horse’s manure is trying to tell you highlight the importance of considering the whole horse - from behaviour and nutrition through to soundness and long-term health. The article on transferable skills explores the often-overlooked ways knowledge and experience gained outside the horse world can positively influence our horsemanship. Often, those lessons and experiences shape our horse life more than we realise. The Hoofbeats Team

STEADY HANDS - common problems and exercises
Effective riders rely on balanced, independent hands that give and take appropriately, guiding with precision, softness and understanding rather than force.
SEPARATION ANXIETY
Modern management and training methods can lead to behavioural issues that require understanding and careful, progressive training.
CORONET BAND DAMAGE - when the hoofs growth engine is compromised
Often overlooked, the coronet band plays a vital role in hoof health, with every millimetre of hoof wall originating from this important structure.
WHAT IS THAT LUMP?
When a large lump developed on the nose of her daughters pony, Megan knew something was not right.
