As the cold weather makes your regular riding and training schedules difficult, it is important to focus on not only the health but also the overall happiness of your horse.
Replace riding with extensive grooming, lunging and various stall changes. Turn your horse out to the field in the afternoons to break up the monotony of their day. Make sure your horse has additional hay with his feed to fuel his winter furnace.
“Cold weather can be depressing enough and I sure don’t want my horses thinking I’ve forgotten about them.”
I hope you enjoy this picture of the last big snow, sure was fun!
