Water is life. Clean water is very important for equine health. Provide warm, clean water during freezing weather.

Don't let the frost freeze their thirst! ❄️ Winter water tips for horses! 🐴

Taking care of horses during the winter months can present unique challenges. Making sure your horse is getting enough to drink is one of the first things to consider when the temperatures drop. Studies have shown that, although horses may prefer cold water to warm water if given the choice, they will drink a larger volume on average when offered only warmer water (45-65°F). Research has also shown that horses do most of their drinking within a few hours of a meal.

💧It is important to have clean water available to horses at all times, but especially at mealtimes when they need the water to help them move the food through their digestive system.
🔥Using heated water buckets/tanks or insulated bucket covers can help keep water from freezing over when the temperature drops.
🧱Some methods for increasing water intake are soaking hay, offering a soupy mash, and making a "sweet tea" for your horse by tossing a handful of their grain in the bucket before filling it (but always offer a bucket of plain water, too, in case they turn their nose up at the sweetened one).

Water is essential for your horse’s health. The adult horse drinks an average of 1 gallon per 100 pounds of body weight. It’s important to keep an eye on water intake and be proactive if it seems like your equine companion is drinking less than they should be!

What's your favorite method for keeping your horse well hydrated in the frozen winter months?

Rain, rain, go away! January is our wet season in the PNW. Our donkeys and horses love their shelter. If your donkey is not using the shelter, add the hay, water, salt, and some bedding into your shelter, as this helps donkeys learn to trust the shelter.

Please remember donkeys' fur coats are not waterproof. Donkeys need our help to stay warm and healthy.

We use the hay pillow locked inside the high-country plastic steel grates to prevent colic. Provides portion control, slows down eating, and stops wasting expensive quality hay.

Donkeys play and battle; grab the neck, play leap frog, nip and bite, playing tug with a jolly ball.

Pair donkeys up fair size and s*x matters, geldings with geldings, females jennies with jennies.

How often should a donkey's hooves be trimmed?
Donkey 102 video on demand teaches the owner or caretaker how to prepare the donkey for the trimmer or farrier.

Preparation sets your donkey up for success. The farrier's job is not to tame and train your donkey. The farrier's job is to trim the hooves, look for white-line disease, and balance the hoof.
