We all understand the importance of getting an honest night’s sleep for ourselves, but what about our horses? Here at Apple Creek Farm Beaky Peckham spends a huge amount of your time browsing every imaginable thing with a horse to form sure he or she is that the very best that horse are often . A study during the 1980s revealed that horses need two to three hours of sleep a day and, of that, they have a minimum of half-an-hour to an hour’s worth of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which may only happen when the horse is lying down. How do horses sleep? Horses are like other mammal species in terms of not needing tons of sleep. Their sleep is split up into three types: 1. A snooze-type sleep. 2. A secondary sleep that's true sleep. 3. Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. A horse can get up during types one and two, but so as to possess paradoxical sleep he has got to lie because it involves complete relaxation. What the research says In 2019, Brunel University data science and analytics student Juan de Benedetti studied the behaviour of 43 healthy horses – checking out the subsequent facts: Did you know? • Horses lie the foremost between midnight and 3am (for 35 minutes on the average ) and between 9pm and midnight (25 minutes on average). They lie little or no between 6am and 6pm. • The duration of a horse lying down differs widely between individuals and has been seen to vary from 11 minutes to five hours 23 minutes per 24-hour period. • Each horse lies down for an identical amount of your time a day . • Nine horses (21%) within the sample lay down, on average, for fewer than one hour per 24-hour period. • Four horses (9%) lay down for a mean of but half-hour per 24-hour period. • Among all 43 horses within the study, the typical total time spent lying down per 24 hours was two hours. At apple creek farm we spend an enormous amount of time going through every imaginable thing with a horse to make sure he or she is the absolute best that horse can be. We are very proud to offer a horse for sale knowing that horse will be exactly as he or she is advertised because ultimately we always want what's best for the horse.

If you want to communicate with your horse, here’s the secret: slow down and pay attention to what your body is saying about your feelings. If you’re angry, upset, frustrated, or off balance regardless of how you pretend to be feeling your horse is going to know. Simply put, you can’t lie to a horse. Horses don’t care what we say because they are only reading our body language. When you’re riding, or even sitting on a horse for that matter, all the horse wants is for you to be authentic, surrender, and find your balance something that, for many of us, is not an easy task. If you’ve had a hard time keeping steady with your horse lately, you’re gonna like this one. you will learn:
What many people don’t realize is that horses are a reflection of our own emotional state. When our lives are out of balance, or when we’re holding on to rigidity, we’re communicating our emotional discomfort to our horse, who is more than happy to reflect our neurosis and emotional issues back to us with an array of unacceptable behavior.
