Anthrax, West Nile Virus, Rabies, or Lyme Disease, are only some of the diseases that can occur. If not cared for, they may affect you as well as your daily life. Anthrax is caused by bacteria in the food, water, or soil, that the horse is around. This disease may cause death to your horse.

The environmental changes that took place throughout history caused species of animals to adapt to the changing conditions. One such animal where this is especially apparent is the evolution of the horse. In order to survive, horses evolved traits such as longer limbs, rigid teeth and others that allowed them the best chance of survival.

The topic of my project came about due to my horse, who I adopted in February of 2009. I had no idea what I was getting into.

The barn is divided into two areas. The first being the area for the volunteers and the children or guests. This area includes the office, restrooms, storage, tack room, seating, and lockers.

Davies, (2009) states that, for competition horse’s electrolytes, should be fed after hard work and competitions. These can be fed either in the form off a supplement or a less expensive alternative can be to feed the horse a mixture of 50% salt and 50% Lo-salt.
