and horse blanket
You withdraw your curtains to reveal the old winter masterpiece. The floor is bright sunlight. Before you or your family dares to venture into this extraordinary white world, which shelters with their best equipment, snow boots, gloves, scarves, heaters lead to hand, eating a good breakfast, beer and hot chocolate on his return.
You may bring a bottle of water with you if a snowball in your mind, or a shovel to clean the roadway. The point is that if we do these things for our family, why why not also for our horses? There are many problems that can occur for a horse, due to harsh winter conditions. With proper care and a little extra effort of these problems are easily avoided.
Cover Up!
Most horses adapt well to cold weather for parking not necessary. What is needed is somewhere they can get away from the elements. A small shed or timberline works well for this. Many owners horse, whose horses spend most of their time indoors, invest in a horse blanket. Horses that spend more time outside, develop and thick winter coats will be more comfortable, without a blanket. Horse blankets vary greatly from one thickness of material used. It is important to find a horse blanket that fits your needs and budget.
Rubber VS. Plastic
One of the most difficult tasks is maintaining winter brings through water. If you live in an area that often falls below zero, a soccer ball floating in the canal will prevent water from becoming a giant ice cube. Stores water heaters also through areas prone to extreme thick ice. While rubber buckets cost more than plastic, well worth the money to invest in a bucket of glue. Ice can be easily removed rubber feeders turning the cube upside down. Plastic bowls freeze and crack open. Clean, available water is essential.
Feeding Time
A feeding program during the winter should be established before the first snow of winter. Like any other animal, a horse needs time to adjust to changes in food. One idea to consider is during the summer months, the weaning of her horse pasture, which will be covered during the winter months, and gradually introduce more forage in the diet. Feeding Your companion forage during the winter months help them maintain a healthy body temperature. As horses to digest, heat is produced. The heat produced by the digestive system is what keeps the horse warm.
Hoof Care
Proper care is essential Hull! If a horse's hooves are allowed to increase the chances of cracking or chipping increases substantially. Keeping trim avoid any damage and give the horse better traction. Another far less obvious in the care of a helmet is to regularly check your horse for ice bags the hull. When ice builds up under the hoof is a gateway to individual strokes, which can develop into abscesses. The accumulation of ice can be avoided Vaseline oil spray or pads on the bottom of the hull installed by your farrier.
Security Pasture
Remove any obstacles, fix gates and fences, fill holes and remove the manure. Make sure your doors are high enough so they can easily pass through any snow might accumulate. It's also good to have a business area in itself to stand while working toilet or his horse. Winter can be brutal, but with the proper care of the horse any horse can be kept safe throughout their stay to the colder winter months.
