I hate to be the bearer of bad news but winter is just around the corner. Horse care becomes more daunting as winter draws near. Should you blanket your horse, if so at what temperature? It will also be time to think about colic prevention, feeding extra hay, and possibly warm mashes at night! Keeping sand nearby for paddock areas when things get icy is important too.

Horse care is tough enough on a good day, between work and life in general, you still have to find time to muck, groom, feed, and ride your equine friend. In winter you can add in blanketing, throwing extra hay and at times probably shoveling or snow blowing out your paddock areas!
