Winter Horse Care


If you have been a member of the equestrian community for some time now or even if you are planning to get a horse sometime in the nearby future you probably know already about how different times of the year affect the way our horses look and feel.

You don't need to hold a degree in Equestrian Science to know that when the weather gets warmer and grazing conditions improve, our horses end up looking and feeling better. On the other hand when the weather gets colder and grazing conditions get worse our horses tend to lose condition, develop dull coat and get stiffness in their joints.

The primary reason why most of the horses do not look and feel great in the winter is because they do not get as many different vitamins and minerals as their bodies need. As a result of this nutrient deficiency quite a lot of horses develop the problems that we have previously mentioned.

So what options are available to you? How can you help your horse.

You need to start supplementing your horse's diet with high quality equine supplements like feed balancers and joint supplements. For more information about these products and for more information about horse care in the winter read about Looking After Your Horse in The Winter
