🥶❄️ Bitter cold temps are here — let’s talk horse care! ❄️🥶
With these extreme winter temperatures, a few basics go a long way in keeping our horses comfortable and healthy:
🐴 Fresh, unfrozen water — Horses still need to drink plenty in cold weather. Heated buckets or frequent checks make a huge difference.
🌾 Free-choice hay — Hay is their internal heater! Extra forage helps them maintain body heat.
🏠 Shelter & wind block — A run-in, barn access, or even good wind protection helps conserve warmth.
For some horses, blankets can be a great added layer of protection, especially for seniors, hard keepers, clipped horses, or those sensitive to the cold.
👉 I’ll be sharing a post from my amazing blanket lady who currently has several blankets available if you’re looking to add one to your winter setup — check it out and feel free to reach out to her directly!
Let’s all help our horses stay warm, safe, and comfortable through this cold snap 💙
