Equine Exchange Articles

Home Page

 

As a followup to the Horse of the Month articles, Carol Watson, continued to write articles for the Lyme Times (CT) newspaper but, this time, worked to educate the general public about horses, horse habits and other pertinent information. This group of articles were called Equine Exchange. All are copyrighted so if you wish to reprint or otherwise use any of these articles in whole or in part, please use the “Writer’s Contact Link” at the bottom of the page.


Part of the Mission of Mitchell Farm Equine Retirement is to educate the public about horses, and specifically elder horses and their care. We do this through tours, lectures and articles like these. If your group would like to know more about our educational offerings, please contact Dee Doolittle at 860-303-8705 to discuss your ideas.

We hope that you enjoy these articles and will consider helping to support our work, both the educational aspect and the actual care of our retired, elder horses. All donations, of any size, go directly to support of the horses, their feeding and care. Thank you so very much!

Remembering Dandy Bar King
When we, at Mitchell Farm, say that we want to provide a dignified, pleasant retirement where our horses can live out their lives as horses... free to be themselves, we mean to whole heartedly. So when a very special piece of the “heart” leaves us, it can be painful. But Dandy is what Mitchell Farm is all about.DandyBarKing.html
Let Sleeping Horses Lie
Did a tornado pass through Mitchell Farm? Did terrorists attack the horses? Did these horses party too hard?
Fortunately, none of the above. They were just getting a good night’s sleep.Sleeping.html

Of Horses Bonding
Physical contact and bonding - it’s not just a human thing. Animals in general, and horses specifically, need the close contact and bonding that comes from physical contact and especially through grooming. They need both to get it... and to give it.
