It has been a while since I actually had to think about this, but I had a scare with my horse, Twentyone, a couple of weeks ago, and it prompted me to write this.

As horse owners it is important that we pay attention to how our horses act on a daily basis. Are they alert, nickering, and happy to see you when you get to the barn? Are they anxiously awaiting their morning feed, or are they normally quiet and just hanging out until you get to them? Do your horses lie down in their paddocks to take a nap once in a while, daily, never? These are all signs we need to pay attention to, so that when something is wrong and our horses are not quite themselves, we will notice the change.
