Posts Tagged ‘Winter Coat’
Caring for your horse through the winter months is very important for the horses health. Horses can tolerate the cold weather and stay as healthy as possible as long as they are fit before winter approaches. During the winter horses will have special needs which you as the owner will have to address like the use of an equestrian rug.
I was wondering because I read somewhere that blanketing a horse with a winter hair coat reduces the horses natural protection against cold. She’s outside almost all the time.
I am showing competively in western pleasure, and I don’t want my horse to get a winter coat. I have no clue how many blankets to put on him. If anyone has any suggestions please help
!
My parents won’t let me blanket my horse all winter. I **** my horses winter coat but I guess I will just have to deal with it. Since it gets really cold at night and my horses artharitus acts up when he gets cold, should I just put a blanket on him at night and take it off in the morning when I feed? Or should I not use a blanket at all? I’m going to clip him in April before show season because he doesn’t start shedding untill the end of May early June.
