Giving Them a Job
We also take a lot of time with professional help (mentors, veterinarians, farriers, etc) to assess the overall physical abilities each equine has.
This assessment helps us figure out what kind of "job" will be best suited for each equine due to factors like; soundness, health, comfort.
We do believe giving an equine a "job," doesn't only help them in their life in the human world- it also makes them much more compliant with medical attention and gives them mental stimulus and purpose. In some cases, having a job for an equine is even therapeutic TO the equine and can assist in their rehabbing.
