❄️ Winter water tips for your horses!

📖 Studies have shown that, although horses may prefer cold water to warm water if given the choice, they will drink a larger volume on average when offered only warmer water (45-65°F). Research has also shown that horses do most of their drinking within a few hours of a meal.

💦 It is important to have clean water available to horses at all times.

🪣 Using heated water buckets/tanks or insulated bucket covers can help keep water from freezing over when the temperature drops.

🐴 One of our favorite methods to helping increase water intake is offering a soupy warm mash, and making a "sweet tea" for your horse by tossing a handful of their grain (a molasses base works best!) in the bucket before filling it. Always offer a bucket of plain water too!

Busy and much needed dental day for a some horses today!!

🦷 It is important to catch dental problems early. If a horse starts behaving abnormally, dental problems should be considered as a potential cause. Waiting too long may increase the difficulty of remedying certain conditions or may even make remedy impossible.

👀 Look for these indicators of dental problems from the AAEP to know when to seek veterinary attention for your horse.

As the cold winter weather trudges on, Dr. Sarah Reuss, AAEP Vice President and a horse owner herself, shares the following advice to keep your horse safe during extreme weather.

1. While lots of hay is ideal for horses to eat to keep warm, now is NOT the time to introduce a round bale if they’ve never had access to one before. It may be more work, but keep throwing them their normal hay source, just more frequently.

2. Similarly, if your horse is not used to being in a stall, now is NOT the time. The stress of a major change and the decreased activity can be risk factors for colic. Be sure they have access to shelter, hay, and drinkable water but let them move around if they choose to do so.

3. Horses that are thin, older, or fully body clipped are those most at risk in extreme weather.

4. Well-fitting blankets are great but be sure that horses do not get sweaty under them, or that the blankets don’t soak through if snow or rain covered. Wet, cold and covered is worse that dry, cold and naked.

5. Some of the highest risk times are when the temperatures hover right around freezing, as that can result in sleet/freezing rain/ice that can make horses wet and therefore colder. Slippery footing is a concern, too.

6. If using electric water heaters, be sure they are functioning and not shocking horses. Take your gloves off and stick your hand in the water (briefly!!!) to double check.

7. Entice your horses to consume extra water by flavoring a bucket, adding electrolytes to their meals, or soaking their meals in warm water. If you’ve never fed beet pulp before, be sure to add LOTS of warm water. Dry beet pulp is a common source of choke.

8. The tips of your horses' ears can be at risk for frostbite. Putting on a waterproof, jumper-style ear bonnet or other waterproof ear cover can protect them from wind chills.

If you have any questions or concerns about keeping your horses safe this winter, contact your veterinarian for advice.
