❄️ Winter brings colder temps, heavier coats… and a higher risk of impaction colic. One big reason? Horses often drink less in cold weather.

🔎 Watching water intake and manure is simple but essential winter horsemanship. Small changes sneak up fast.

🩺 Rehab Reminder: Horses in limited turnout or on certain medications may need closer monitoring and a hydration plan.

➡️ Stay tuned for winter hydration tips in our next post!

📞 If you notice changes in drinking or manure, reach out to your Foxhall Equine veterinary team at 410-406-1600.

🔍 Before the Problem

The best time to address soundness issues is before they become limiting. Subtle asymmetries and early soreness are where proactive care makes the biggest difference.

🚨Maryland Horse Owners: New MDA Transport Requirements 🚨

The Maryland Department of Agriculture has announced new statewide rules for horse movement due to current EHV-1 concerns. Here’s what you need to know:

When to PowerPac Your Horse 🐴💙

Spring and fall are good times to revisit your horse’s deworming program. PowerPacs can be helpful for horses with higher parasite exposure or inconsistent f***l egg counts, targeting encysted small strongyles that routine dewormers may miss.

Because every horse and farm are different, we base deworming plans on f***l testing, management, and season.
