Lots of horses are feeling a bit tighter at the moment — the cold really does make muscles slower to warm up. A few simple things can help:

🔥 Take your time warming up — cold muscles need that extra few minutes.
🧊 Keep their backs warm — rugs or a quarter sheet to warm their backs up.
🚶 Keep them moving — even a little in-hand walk helps stop them stiffening up.
💧 Encourage drinking — warm water or soaked fibre can help if they’re drinking less.
👀 Watch for signs — shorter stride, reluctance to bend, or feeling generally tight.

If your horse seems a bit stiffer in this cold spell, physio can really help keep them comfortable.
