π΄ **Winter Feeding Tips for Horses** π΄
As the seasons change, so do the needs of your pasture horses. Here's when and why you might want to consider grain supplementation in the fall and winter:
1. **Reduced Forage**: When pastures start to dwindle due to colder weather, your horses may need extra nutrition.
2. **Body Condition**: Keep an eye on your horse's weight and health. If they're losing weight, it's time to supplement.
3. **Temperature**: Horses burn more energy to stay warm, so grain helps them stay cozy.
4. **Nutrition**: Ensure they get the right vitamins, minerals, and protein, especially during low-quality grass seasons.
Start supplementation based on pasture quality, your horse's workload, and your location's climate. Consult with a vet or equine nutritionist for a personalized plan.
