What is casting?
Casting can be a scary and dangerous experience for you and your horse. It occurs when your horse lies or rolls in its stand and is too imprisoned to the wall. When this happens, he cannot get his feet under herself to get enough lever effect to stand up. The casting is very dangerous and most horses are injured if they are afraid to beat. Exhaustion to the shock point is another problem with a panic horse.
If you find that your horse has risen, the most important thing you can do is stay calm. Your horse will have to rely on you to avoid panic. Talk to him quietly and make sure he's going to be okay. If the aid is close, secure one or two helpers.
If your horse is relatively quiet, go to the assistant stand. If this seems possible, you can try to slightly move it with pulling a tail of the tail. If it is not a possibility, a loopAnd around each of the farthest front and back legs, while your assistant holds the head of the horse and assures it. Stand and pull evenly on both long lines to turn it towards you. If there is a room, it would be useful for your assistant to attract your horse's head at the same time. As soon as your horse rolled around his shirts, let's get out of the rope because it will then be able to get normally. It is important to give him room because he is likely to move at this point.
If your horse is too pancake to help him safely, it is best to calm him down.

The simplest preventive measure for casting stalls is the bank for the stalls. This includes the addition of a row (or bank) bedding along each wall of the stand. It should be at least 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) high and 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) wide. This will prevent your horse from getting too close to the walls of his stand. Other options of stalling are safety strips. These raised rubber projections create a surface that your horse can use to push out of the wall. The tongue and groove panels will also provide your horse with the necessary lever effect to correct.
casting is rarely traumatic and usually does not lead to injury. Some horses evaluate their problems and are waiting for help to arrive, still use their hoof against the wall and push enough to become. The cast of the booth can represent quiteA scary picture, but with caution it is usually possible to help your horse on your feet even if you are alone.
