Healthy hooves mean a happy horse
OSU offers practical information on managing small-acreage horse farms
Autumn brings rain,
and rain brings mud, espe-
cially if you have horses
on small acreage.
With horses on one to
10 acres, rain and mud can
mean an unhealthy mess
for horses and pasture.
And muddy pastures
pollute streams, groundwa-
ter and household wells.
“Living in mud and
manure is unhealthy for a
horse,” explained Garry
Stephenson, Oregon State
University Extension Ser-
vice (OSU). “Mud harbors
bacteria and fungal organ-
isms that cause health
problems,” said Stephen-
son.
Wet, muddy condi-
tions can foster organisms
that cause mud fever
(scratches), cracking of the
hoof and sole and related
lameness. Insects breed in
mud and manure.
With careful manage-
ment, it is possible to keep
a good grass cover through
the winter, keep your
weeds down and keep wa-
ter clean and your horses
healthy, said Stephenson.
