Cold weather advice from the vets at Westhills

Did you know that it is hay, and not grain, that will keep your horse warmer in cold temperatures?‼️The weather we are experiencing requires you to be feeding your horses increased amounts of good quality forage.

With the cold snap this week, make sure you are understanding how to keep your horses warm! ❄️ This post briefly outlines the main areas of food, water, shelter, if blanketing is necessary and when to seek veterinary care.

⬇️⬇️⬇️

FOOD - Low critical temperaures affect a horses nutritional needs. It is often perceived that feeding grain will keep a horse warmer, however digestion, absorption and utilization of grain does not produce as much energy/heat as the microbial fermentation of forage. Therefore, the best thing you can do for your horse during cold temperatures is offer additional hay or hay cubes on top of their regular daily amount.

WATER - It is strongly recommended to have a water heater during the winter months. Horses often require more water in the winter due to the decreased moisture in dry forage. When water temperatures are too cold, horses are discouraged from drinking and when they drink less, they often eat less aswell. Research through the University of Minnesota has shown that horses increase their water intake by 40% when water temperature is maintained between 8-18 degrees celcius.

SHELTER - Horses should have 24/7 access to shelter from wind, sleet and snow. In the absence of wind and moisture, they are able to tolerate temperatures up to 2x colder then when directly in the harsh elements. If no shelter is present in a horses pen, there should atleast be tree cover or a wind fence available instead. Remember that not all horses will get along in a herd, so ensure enough shelter is provided for even the horses at the bottom of the pecking order. Horses typically do not "bed down" the same way cattle do, so having a shelter from the wind in general is more important than an area filled with straw.

BLANKETS - Assuming that your horse is well equipped with the factors listed above and has no underlying conditions - a healthy coat, with its amazing ability to trap air and warm it next to the skin, will keep them warm enough naturally and can even do a better job then a blanket can! That is why a horse's coat appears "puffed up" on a cold day. However, some instances where blanketing may be required are if the natural coat has been clipped or altered, poor body condition, poor coat condition, a senior with decreased muscle mass and fat cover, or an underlying health condition that uses extra energy.

SIGNS OF COLD STRESS IN HORSES THAT MAY REQUIRE VETERINARY CARE - Little interest in food or water, lethargy, frequently laying down, down and unable to get up, pale mucous membranes and a re**al temperature under 36 degrees.

I am so thankful for all the support Spruce Grove Feeds has shown me throughout the 2024 rodeo season! Thank you for all you have done for me and my horses.

A proper feeding program is very important when it comes to performance horses. Spruce Grove feeds was the perfect one stop shop for all my ropes, tack, feed, and supplement needs!

2024 was a year to remember. Achieving many personal goals, while also over coming many obstacles. This season I was apart of the Wildrose rodeos association, Lakeland rodeo association, as well as the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association on my permit. Many hours went into practicing for these rodeos. My main goal was to improve on my consistency in roping under pressure. This meant many hours of dummy roping and over coming mental games. My 2024 highlights include winning the Lakeland rodeo finals in the breakaway roping, taking home a saddle and buckle. I was also lucky enough to fill my permit for the Canadian Pro rodeo association. Looking back at my goals, I believe I have improved with the help and support of my family and friends!

Thank you Emma. We were so proud to have you as part of our team!

I can’t thank Spruce Grove Feeds enough for all the support throughout all of 2024, and appreciate everything they do for my horses and I.

Having a good feed program is crucial for my equine athletes, and I am easily able to maintain that health from just one store where I get all of my feed! From every feed bag, rope, and any supplement I needed throughout 2024 was greatly appreciated and played a huge role in my success!

2024 was a great year filled with highs and lows, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I High School rodeoed all spring and fall, along with going to a few CARA rodeos, and WRA rodeos. A few of my highlights reflecting on the year was qualifying for the Alberta High School Rodeo Finals, finishing third in the average at the North of the Border Showdown in the breakaway, and placing at several jackpots over the summer.

Many hours were spent in the practice pen, and many days were found in the arena riding but I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I had a goal coming into last year to improve my roping and consistency, so I spent lots of hours behind the dummy and went to a few clinics learning as much as I could. Reflecting on that goal, I think I have improved immensely with the help of my family, and any advice and help along the way! 2024 was full of so many great experiences, and I can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store for my team and I! Thank you again Spruce Grove Feeds for going on this crazy journey with me!
