Extreme Cold Tips

1: if your horse wears a blanket ensure they are dry and ready to go. Blankets are useful for horses that have been body-clipped because they have lost the added layer of insulation the hair provides, but blankets must be applied responsibly. Always replace or remove a soaked blanket immediately because the moisture will freeze, trapping the cold and causing the horse to lose precious body heat. If your horse wears a blanket, there should be at least two or three on hand so a soaked article can be traded out for a dry one.

2: give your horses extra HAY to eat not grain. Horses must increase their caloric intake roughly 15-20 percent for every 10-degree drop in temperature below 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

3: check their water. The average sized horse needs approx 10 gallons of water daily for maintenance. Recent research has demonstrated that horses will drink more water during cold weather if the water is warmed to between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

4: providing electrolytes (oral paste preferred) 1 to 2 times daily approx 12-24 hours prior to major weather changes can help encourage water consumption and reduce the risk of impaction colics.

5: shelter is recommended to protect them against wind gusts especially horses without blankets.
