Winter is setting in, and caring for you
horse attentively through the winter will help ensure that they get through the
season with relatively few problems. However refrain from too much
over-coddling. Horses are reasonably hardy in cold temperatures and grow a
winter coat to keep them warm. Of course, throwing them out for the winter and
forgetting about them until the spring isn’t the way to go either. The key to
caring for horses in winter is a collection of simple things such as checking
for the weather forecast before choosing rugs; make sure they cool down
properly after being ridden; ensuring they are not subjected to drafts
overnight and being fed properly. This great infographic should go some way
towards helping you and your horse get through the winter months unscathed
ready for summer.
