Did you know? The biggest concern for horses in winter is maintaining their body temperature.

To stay warm during the cold season, a horse burns extra calories and this can negatively impact their health and body condition — particularly if the horse went into winter in only moderate condition, or if he is elderly or ill.

The graphic shows five things you can do to make sure your horse stays healthy through the cold months. Be sure to consult your veterinarian about any diet or lifestyle changes that may be necessary for your horse to maintain his condition this winter, and don’t forget to monitor your animal's water intake to minimize the risk of impaction colic.

Another great blanket safety tip. In general, we do not recommend hay nets. Unfortunately, the are often hung too low and horses get back shoes stuck on them when rolling or blanket straps. If you use hay nets be sure to hang them high enough that feet cannot get hung on them when a horse is rolling and be sure to have your clips facing in.

A very important reminder courtesy of the horse doctors at Miamitown Equine Veterinary Services:

"When securing blankets, make sure that the snaps/clips are facing inward, toward the horse! If they are facing out, they can easily become stuck on something, like the hay net in the picture."
