Master Horse Care: The Ultimate Guide for Your Horse’s Health & Wellness. Professional horse care essentials from Chinajumps
Owning a horse is one of life’s most rewarding experiences, but it also comes with big responsibilities. To keep your equine companion thriving, you need the right tools, supplies, and knowledge to meet their physical, social, and emotional needs. At Chinajumps, we understand that navigating “horse stuff” can feel overwhelming—whether you’re a new horse owner or a seasoned rider. That’s why we’ve put together this ultimate guide to horse care essentials, breaking down everything from daily feeding supplies to riding tack and grooming tools. Let’s dive in!
1. Horse Care Basics: Food, Water, Shelter, and Companionship
Every horse’s well-being starts with three non-negotiables: 淡水、优质饲料和安全住所—plus the company of other horses (they’re herd animals, after all!). Here’s what you need to check off your list:
食品和水供应
- 淡水槽或水桶:马每天要喝 5-10 加仑的水，因此要投资购买耐用、易清洗的容器。应选择在极端天气（炎热或寒冷）下不易破裂的容器，以保证全年都能喝到水。
- 草料和饲料储存: Hay is a horse’s primary diet, so use 干草网 减缓进食速度（防止消化问题）和 密闭式饲料储存箱 以保持谷物干燥和无虫害。饲料盘或饲料槽应坚固且垫高，以避免泥土污染。
- 补充剂（如需要）: Consult your vet to see if your horse requires extra nutrients—Chinajumps can help you find high-quality options tailored to age, health, or activity level.
庇护与安全
- 坚固的围栏: Protect your horse from wandering or predators with fencing that’s tall (at least 5 feet) and free of sharp edges. Electric, wooden, or vinyl fencing works well—just ensure it’s regularly inspected for damage.
- 庇护所（谷仓或跑马棚）:马匹需要防雨、防风和防晒。马厩是气候寒冷或马匹需要额外照顾的理想选择。
- 粪肥管理工具:使用毯子保持生活空间清洁（并降低疾病风险！）：使用毯子保持生活空间清洁（并降低疾病风险！）。 粪叉、粪桶和手推车. Regular mucking keeps your horse’s area hygienic and prevents fly infestations.
陪伴
永远不要低估马群的力量！马匹与其他马匹朋友一起茁壮成长--如果您只有一匹马，可以考虑在有其他马匹的地方寄宿，或者增加一只伴侣动物（如山羊）与它们作伴。
2.梳理和保健用品：让您的爱马保持最佳状态
Grooming isn’t just about making your horse shiny—it’s a chance to bond, check for injuries, and maintain their overall health. Chinajumps recommends these must-have grooming and first-aid tools:
日常梳理套装
- 咖喱梳: Loosens dirt, mud, and loose hair from your horse’s coat—use in circular motions on their body (avoid sensitive areas like the face).
- 身体刷:软毛刷：用于清除表面污垢，使卷曲后的毛发光滑。
- 蹄铁:对清除蹄上的污垢、石块和碎屑至关重要（每天都要这样做，以防止鹅口疮或脓肿）。
- 鬃毛和尾巴梳:用一把宽齿梳子梳理头发和尾巴--使用顺发喷雾剂避免头发断裂。
急救要点
每个马主都应该有一个储备充足的急救箱。包括
- 用于伤口的无菌绷带、纱布和胶带。
- 清洁伤口的消毒剂（如碘酒或洗必泰）。
- 促进伤口愈合的伤口药膏。
- 温度计（检查是否发烧）和剪刀。
- 兽医和马匹急救服务的联系信息。
虫害和蹄部护理
- 苍蝇保护:苍蝇喷雾剂、苍蝇口罩（遮住眼睛和耳朵）和防蝇床单，以防止昆虫叮咬和西尼罗河病毒等疾病。
- 蹄部保养:与蹄铁一起使用 蹄油 以保持蹄子湿润，并为蹄子提供一个 蹄铁 (专业人士使用或在兽医指导下使用），以保持形状。安排定期（每 6-8 周）的兽医上门修剪或穿鞋。
- 驱虫剂: Work with your vet to create a parasite control plan—Chinajumps offers safe, effective deworming products to keep your horse healthy.
3.马具和装备：您和马匹的安全与舒适
Whether you ride for pleasure, trail riding, or competition, the right tack ensures both you and your horse stay safe and comfortable. Here’s what you need:
马具基础知识
- 缰绳和牵引绳:牵马、系马或为马梳洗时必不可少。选择耐用的缰绳（皮革或尼龙），要紧贴马身，但不要太紧。
- 马鞍和鞍垫:合身的马鞍是不可或缺的--不合身的马鞍会导致疼痛、酸痛和行为问题。配上 鞍垫 (fleece or gel) to cushion your horse’s back and absorb sweat.
- 辔头和马衔扣: The bridle controls your horse’s direction and speed—select a bit that’s comfortable for your horse (consult a trainer if you’re unsure) and a bridle that fits their head shape.
- 马镫: Adjustable stirrups to fit your height—ensure they’re the right length (your leg should be slightly bent when riding).
骑手安全装备
- 头盔:最重要的骑手装备--始终佩戴 ASTM/SEI 认证的头盔，以防止头部受伤。
- 马靴:小跟靴子（防止在马镫上滑倒），脚趾闭合，避免穿运动鞋或凉鞋。
- 骑马裤:牛仔裤或马裤要有弹性--马裤可为长时间骑行提供额外的抓地力。
可选（但有用）的装备
- 马毯: Choose blankets based on climate—lightweight sheets for rain protection, medium-weight blankets for cool weather, and heavyweight blankets for winter. Chinajumps has blankets in all sizes to fit your horse.
- 腿部保护: Boots or wraps to shield your horse’s legs from scrapes, bruises, or overexertion (great for trail riding or jumping).
