We know your horse’s health and well-being is important to you. In this issue, two stories focus on that:

• Hunter rider and trainer Julie Curtin shares four exercises to help keep your mature hunter supple, strong, balanced and interested in his job.

• Certified Journeyman Farrier R. Vance Glenn explains how to tell if you horse has crushed, or underslung, heels and how to work with your farrier to treat them.

This Practical Horseman Extra is brought to you by W.F. Young.
