Seasonal Care for Your Horse
Caring for your horse throughout the changing seasons is crucial for their health and comfort. Each season brings unique challenges and opportunities for horse owners to ensure their equine companions thrive.
Spring
As the weather warms, increase grooming to remove shedding hair and dirt. Check for pests and consider natural repellents to keep flies and insects at bay.
Summer
Ensure access to shade and fresh water during hot days. Regularly check for signs of dehydration and consider cooling baths or natural coat sprays to protect against sunburn.
Fall
Prepare for colder weather by inspecting blankets and ensuring your horse has adequate shelter. Monitor their weight, as they may need extra feed to maintain body condition.
Winter
Provide a warm, dry place for your horse to stay sheltered from the cold. Keep hooves clean and check for ice buildup, and adjust feeding to support their energy needs in the colder months.
