With shorter daylight hours in winter, horses may not get enough vitamin D, which is essential for healthy bones and immune function.

If your horse is spending more time in the stable, it’s important to make the most of sunny days and allow them outside to absorb natural sunlight.

You can also talk to us about vitamin D supplements if you’re concerned your horse isn’t getting enough exposure during the winter months.

Snow can be both exciting and challenging for horses.

If your horse isn’t used to snow, introduce them to it gradually by allowing short periods of turnout in snow-covered paddocks.

Ensure the area is free from hazards like hidden ice or deep snowdrifts, and be mindful of snow accumulating in hooves, which can cause discomfort or slips.

Some horses may play more energetically in snow, so keeping an eye on them can prevent injury from over-exertion.

Be cautious with snow build-up on hooves, and regularly check them to prevent slipping.

During winter, it’s easy to forget that horses still need plenty of water, even though they’re not sweating like in summer.

However, dehydration is just as dangerous in cold weather. Make sure water sources are kept ice-free and accessible by using heated buckets or regularly breaking ice on troughs. Horses tend to drink less when it’s cold, so adding salt to their feed can encourage more drinking.

Monitoring water intake is crucial to prevent dehydration and potential colic.

Winter weather can increase the risk of colic due to reduced water intake and changes in feeding.

Ensure your horse has access to plenty of fresh, unfrozen water, and consider soaking hay to increase hydration.

A slow transition to winter feeding habits can also help reduce the risk of digestive issues.

Offering plenty of forage helps keep the digestive system moving, which is key to preventing colic in colder months.

Icy surfaces can be a major hazard for horses during winter turnout and exercise.

To reduce the risk of slips, consider improving paddock footing with sand, gravel, or other materials that provide traction.

If your horse is shod, talk to your farrier about using studs or other anti-slip measures.

In areas prone to ice, keeping horses indoors during particularly bad conditions may be the safest option to prevent falls and injuries.

Winter can bring a variety of health challenges for horses, including respiratory issues and infections.

Ensuring proper, stable ventilation, regular grooming, and maintaining a dry environment are key factors in preventing illness.

Keep an eye on your horse for signs of coughs, nasal discharge, or lethargy, as these could indicate a respiratory problem.

Keeping up with their vaccination schedule and monitoring changes in condition will also help prevent the spread of illness during the colder months.

Winter often means more time spent indoors, which can lead to respiratory issues if the stable isn’t well-ventilated.

Dust from hay, bedding, and mould can irritate a horse’s lungs, especially if the stable is closed up to keep out the cold. Ensure good airflow by opening windows or doors during the day and choosing low-dust bedding.

Regular cleaning of the stable and monitoring your horse for any signs of respiratory distress, such as coughing or nasal discharge, is key to keeping them healthy.

Did you know that gastric ulcers can become a bigger problem in winter?

❄️ Changes in diet, increased stable time, and reduced turnout can all contribute to stress and the development of ulcers.

To help prevent this, make sure your horse has constant access to forage and as much turnout as possible. Keeping stress low and feeding routines consistent are crucial for a happy stomach. 🐴

Have you ever wondered how your horse’s sleep habits change in winter?

🌙 Horses sleep in short bursts, but they still need to lie down for deep, restorative sleep, even during the colder months.

Make sure your horse has a comfortable, dry space to rest, and keep an eye out for signs of fatigue if their sleeping environment isn’t ideal.

A well-rested horse is a healthy horse! 🐴💤

Mud, mud, and more mud!

🌧️ Winter weather often brings muddy paddocks, and with that comes the risk of mud fever and other skin irritations.

Preventing mud fever starts with good management: try keeping legs clean and dry, use barrier creams, and monitor for any signs of scabs or sores.

Early detection and treatment can make a huge difference!

It’s easy to overlook dental care during the colder months, but regular dental checks remain important, especially since changes in feeding during winter can lead to issues like sharp edges or uneven wear.

Dental problems can cause discomfort, weight loss, and difficulty chewing, particularly when horses are relying more on hay.

Make sure your horse’s teeth are in good shape to avoid any feeding challenges as the winter progresses.

Boredom and stress in winter can lead to stable vices like cribbing, weaving, or box walking.

Keeping your horse mentally stimulated can help combat these habits.

Try introducing slow feeders, providing toys, or simply ensuring they have regular turnout and social interaction.

A little enrichment goes a long way in keeping them content through the colder months!

Say hello to Woody! Vet Magda wnt out for his annual injections for his hocks and SI, plus a dental check to keep him feeling his best. 🐴💉 Regular care is making all the difference. 💪 Now it’s a few days of box rest, and then he’ll be back to his normal antics in no time. Here’s to a happy, healthy Woody! 💕

Logan’s owner called us concerned that he is struggling to eat, and has a strange sensitive lump on the side of his jaw that has ballooned overnight. Magda went straight out to see him and, after careful examination, found a fractured tooth! 🦷 We will never be sure how he managed to fracture his tooth but he will definitely be feeling more comfortable now it has been removed! ☺️
