As temperatures begin to drop around the country, these are great reminders from UMN Equine Extension Program on winter management methods.

In addition to taking care of your horses, don’t forget to take care of yourself by bundling up while doing chores! ❄

❄️ Keep these helpful tips in mind when managing horses during this week's cold snap. ❄️

⏰ Maintain your normal schedule if possible. Research from Virginia found that an increase in colic episodes following adverse weather was a result of sudden changes in management and not the weather itself.

⚡️ Energy needs for a horse at maintenance increase about 1% for each degree below 18°F. For example, if the temperature is -18°F, a 1,000 pound idle, adult horse would need approximately 4 additional pounds of forage (e.g., hay) daily. It is best to provide the extra energy as forage since heat is produced from the microbial fermentation of forage.

🏡 Horses must have access to shelter from wind and moisture. A horse’s hair coat acts as insulation by trapping air, but when wet, the insulating value is loss.

💧 Water should be kept between 45 to 65°F to maximize consumption. Most adult horses require a minimum of 10 to 12 gallons of water each day. Horses should always have access to fresh, clean water. Check water sources often to ensure they have not froze.

🧤 Take care of yourself! Protect yourself from the cold by wearing multiple layers of coats and pants. Ensure the outer layer is wind and waterproof. Additionally, wear insulated, waterproof boots; warm gloves; a winter hat; and a scarf or neck gaiter to cover your face.

“November 4th vs December 4th!

Hank (24) arrived on the thin side and is thriving on Safe ‘N Easy Senior and Ultimate Finish 100. He also gets O3 Animal Health’s Equine Mega Gain Oil and this combination has made a huge difference for him. Thanks BUCKEYE Nutrition 💚 Hank is the 4th skinny old guy that I’ve used these products on and I’ve had amazing results each time.”

Thank you, Brianne, for sharing Hank’s transformation! He is looking stellar!🌟
