As autumn approaches, consider whether you need to make changes to your horse’s diet in preparation for winter. As temperatures drop, horse owners should begin to make any required changes in their horse’s feeding program in preparation for winter. But what alterations are needed? Here are some points to consider when preparing to adjust a nutrition program for the colder weather.
Water
As the temperatures fall, horses will often decrease their water consumption per day. Ensure horses always have access to fresh water, and when temperatures dip below freezing, make sure to check all water sources for ice. Al so consider adding electrolytes.
Forage
The most common way to provide forage to a horse is by supplying them with hay. Depending on the type (grass or legume) and harvest time, hay can provide a significant amount of a horse’s daily nutritional needs. In addition, hay provides the horse with the required fiber for hindgut health.
Monitor Body Condition
Without the use of a scale, an easy and effective way to monitor a horse’s weight is by body condition scoring. This system estimates the fat present on the horse’s body and will help horse owners adjust their feeding programs accordingly.
Aim to monitor a horse’s body condition score every couple weeks leading up to and during the winter months. Longer, thicker hair coats can be deceiving of the horse’s actual condition, so additional feed might be needed to maintain his weight during the colder months.
If a horse is over-conditioned, reduce the amount of calories from grain before reducing forage amounts. If the horse is under conditioned, increase the amount of forage he consumes or change to a more nutritious type of forage. Additional calories from concentrates and/or fat sources might be needed to help a hard keeper maintain his weight.
