Our day-to-day training is improved if we understand how our horses' memory, generalization and context-specific learning actually work.

If you think it's OK to keep a horse on its own, have a quick look at the evidence that says otherwise.

Why does a horse pace, call out, and stop doing it over time? The teleonome explains what's really happening beneath the apparent quiet.

Extremely interesting and useful research out of the UK linking previous incidence of laminitis with strangulating lipoma colic.

Horses with prior history of laminitis have been shown to be almost 11 times more likely to develop strangulating lipoma colic in a recent UK-US case-control study.

The findings of Gillen et al.'s research strengthen the link between endocrine/metabolic disease and SLO risk and underline the importance of proactive EMS and laminitis management when assessing colic vulnerability in older or at-risk horses.

As usual, Denny Emerson nails it - the horse must NEVER be caught in the mouth over a jump if it is to be confident of being able to use itself properly.

The mysterious half halt!! This is a great explanation of the concept behind that manoeuvre. It's a movement that is performed to say to the horse "hey, I'm about to ask you to do something different - prepare yourself and pay attention" by shifting the balance. And subtly.

I've taught this for years, but it's still something that is a foreign concept to a surprising number of riders!

Sarcoids are horrid - unpredictable and hard to treat for a variety of reasons. If you suspect a sarcoid anywhere on your horse, get it diagnosed and start treatment as soon as possible.

Great to see this Aussie icon being part of a vitally important campaign.  Wish we had something like this in Australia.

This is genuine stupidity on the part of the FEI. At a time when the social licence of all equestrian sport is under the microscope, this change is like a bad joke. Except it isn't a joke, it just more missteps from the international equestrian body.

FEI Jumping proposes a rule to let bleeding horses continue competing — reversing a welfare safeguard and testing the sport’s social licence.
