Wondering if your horse needs a blanket this winter? 🧣🐴
Their winter hair keeps them warm, but not if they get soaked or covered in mud. Consider blanketing if:
• Temps or wind chill drop below 5°F with no shelter
• Your horse is clipped
• Very young, very old, new to cold weather, or underweight / not feeling well
When in doubt, talk with Tri-State Veterinary Services, LLC about what is right for your horse. 💙
Horses have two natural defenses against cold; a long hair coat and a layer of fat beneath the skin. Both provide an excellent means of insulation.
