Shout out to our amazing equine care takers🙏🏻 these cold days are not for the
faint of heart

Making sure horses have unfrozen fresh water available to them 24hrs a day is a top priority.

Making sure horses have unfrozen fresh water available to them 24hrs a day is a top priority.

Water is a vital resource for horses year-round, but its importance becomes even greater during the winter months. Maintaining proper hydration is essential for horses to support digestion, overall health, and especially for preventing colic, a potentially life-threatening condition.

In winter, horses may drink less water due to cold temperatures, or water sources might freeze, limiting access. Reduced water intake increases the risk of impaction colic, a condition that occurs when food material becomes lodged in the horse’s digestive tract. This is exacerbated by the dry, fibrous nature of winter forage like hay, which contains less moisture compared to fresh pasture grass. Without sufficient water, the digestive system slows and cannot properly break down this material, potentially leading to blockages.

Encouraging adequate water consumption is critical. Horses should normally drink 5-12 gallons of water daily, and ensuring the water is warm enough—between 45-65°F—can help encourage drinking. Studies show that horses are more likely to consume warm water during cold weather. Using heated water buckets or tank deicers can prevent freezing and make water more appealing.

Fun Fact: Research shows that horses drink almost 40% more water per day if given warm water (45-65 °F) instead of near-freezing water. (Kristula and McDonnell, 1994)

Electrolytes or salt supplements can also stimulate thirst, prompting horses to drink more. Offering soaked hay or adding water to feed can provide additional hydration. However, soaking hay or feed isn’t recommended in environments where these items would freeze solid before being consumed by the horse.

Preventing dehydration in winter is a proactive measure to safeguard against colic. Regularly monitoring water intake and ensuring clean, accessible, and palatable water is essential. By addressing these needs, horse owners can help maintain their horses’ health and comfort throughout the colder months.

If you have questions or concerns about your horses' winter water intake, contact your veterinarian.

Ollie’s Story Part 8… “final” part 🙏🏻 Thank you everyone for waiting patiently. With the April nor’easter Mother Nature decided to send our way, we got a little off track with posting Ollie’s final story on time! Before we discuss his latest findings, let’s rewind just a little bit. Back in July, Ollie had an acute episode of laminitis due to an unknown sudden insulin resistance he had developed. Moving forward, a subsolar seroma developed in both front feet, more severely in the left front than the right. Additionally, he had rotation in both feet (meaning he was actively foundering). At his worst, his right front rotated by 9 degrees while the left front rotated by 11 degrees. As we’ve gone over, we changed his diet significantly & began shoeing him in a manner to help support the frog, heel & leave the toe open to allow the seromas to breathe while also keeping them clean & lightly covered. With the help of Dr. Roemer from Great Bay Equine, our amazing farrier Tyler Fortier, was able to adjust his shoeing to not only stop Ollie from rotating more, but he was able to help Ollie REVERSE the rotations of BOTH front feet. 🤩 At Ollie’s last appointment in February with Dr. Roemer, his right front had gone from a 9 degree rotation down to 1 degree (essentially back to normal!!!). His left front also reversed, as it went from an 11 degree rotation down to 5 degrees. Dr. Roemer had told us in the beginning, that she has seen founder cases be reversed, but that it was VERY unlikely especially with how severe Ollie had rotated. So to find that he had reversed his rotations that significantly, was mind boggling to everyone. 🤯 Ollie has been cleared to begin a full rehab program which started with hand walking & will increase to lunging, & he will be back under saddle sooner than we ever could have dreamed!!! 🙏🏻 We cannot thank everyone enough for the support we have gotten with Ollie & this incredible journey, but mostly we want to

Friday Fun with Bridget & Bogo!!! 🤩 Bridget took on the task of starting her first colt this year! She has taken her time with him & Bogo has been a rockstar! Great work Bridget!!
