🥶 MAJOR TEMP DROP BEGINNING TONIGHT. With the upcoming drop in temperature starting tonight and through the weekend, we wanted to share this great blanketing guide and help you decide, "to blanket the horses, or to not blanket the horses"!

Also as a reminder, when the temperatures drop, horses tend to not drink as much water. To help avoid any potential colic, we strongly recommend serving up some good ole' "sweet tea" water for your horses, as well as soaking their grain in water! Simply add a solid handful of your sweetest grain to your horse's water buckets, let that marinate, and tada "sweet tea" water! These are great ways to entice them to keep drinking water in colder temps, and continue to stay hydrated. 🌬️❄️☃️

Happy, almost Spring!
On this rainy day --take a moment and check this out.
Many of you have heard from me the recommendation to test (and keep testing!) your hays. For the majority of horses, it is/should be the largest food category they eat by far and therefore the largest 'bucket' of potential 'sugars.' Understanding what your horse is eating all day is essential to their core health and performance (however that looks!)
Photos for 'tax' and because donkeys are cute and bluebirds bring me hope!

Listen to our (Humble Hoof) episode on hay analysis

Equi-Analytical was featured in an episode of The Humble Hoof podcast. Team member Ellington King covers analytical packages offered by Equi-Analytical, how to collect a sample and much more!
