❄️Cold weather can have a significant effect on the elasticity of muscles in horses, as cold temperatures can cause muscles to become stiffer and less flexible. Here are a few tips for keeping your horse in good shape during cold weather:

🔵Gradual Warm-Up: Start with slow, low-intensity work, to gently increase blood circulation and prepare the muscles for more strenuous activity.

🔵Stretching: Incorporate stretching into your routine to help maintain flexibility and prevent muscle stiffness. Stretching the neck, back, and legs can improve range of motion.

🔵Post-Activity Cool Down: After exercise, allow your horse to cool down gradually to help prevent tightness or cramping in the muscles.

➡️By following these steps, you can help your horse stay flexible, reduce the risk of injury, and maintain overall muscle health during colder weather.

🐴🩺Client education is one of our top priorities. We believe it's essential for horse owners to understand what is happening with their horses every step of the way. By keeping our clients informed and involved, we empower them to make the best decisions for their horse's health and well-being.

❓What would you like to learn more about?

Did you get a new horse or pony this Christmas?

Here are 3 tips to keep your horse's health a priority as they transition into their new home:

1. 🌾Gradual Diet Change: Slowly adjust their diet over 7-10 days to prevent digestive upset. Provide quality hay and forage to support their digestion and energy needs. Don’t forget to add electrolytes to their water, especially with the rapid weather changes coming up, to keep them hydrated.

2. 💪🏼Gradual Workload Increase: As your horse adjusts to its new training program, start with light exercises and slowly increase the intensity and duration. Avoid pushing them too hard too fast, as this can lead to injury or stress. Monitor their response to the new routine and make adjustments as needed.

3. 🩺Review Your Horse's Records: Ensure you know the date of their last vaccines, Coggins, and dental exam. If you're unsure, schedule an appointment with us to keep your horse protected and their dental health in check.

📸⬇️ Drop a picture below and share your new horse with us! What are your goals with your horse this year? We’d love to hear!

We’re here to help with any questions or appointments! ☎️Contact us at 352-538-9165.

On the 12th day of Christmas, Santa brings a new horse, but not without a Pre-Purchase Exam with PHD, of course! 🐴
