Tack swap season is starting, which means that show season is just around the corner! Even though the temps are still below zero outside, I’ve been doing a lot of spring cleaning in the tack room and at home, getting things together to consign at the next local tack swap. Of course, I always end up coming home with more tack and clothing, so I’m basically just making room for more things. If you haven’t read about my last tack swap experience, read “Buyer’s Remorse? What’s That?

Cavalor Feed for Thought: When in doubt, feed your horse forage and smaller grain meals more frequently to prevent gastric ulcers. Why? The answer was found in a study by North Carolina State University; researchers hypothesize that horses fed less frequently experience bile acid reflux during their fasts, causing an increase in ulcers.

Great Meadow Will Become Greater: Great Meadow in The Plains, VA just purchased an additional 174 acres to add to their facilities. Additions will include an all-weather arena and cross-country course to house the US Eventing Team selection trials for WEG in July. [Chronicle of the Horse]
