Having horses in the summer season can be both enjoyable and a reasonably affordable hobby (as horses go) but in the winter it can be a nightmare and there are many things you need to prepare so I've written the following article to help inform you of the different things you need to consider for the winter times with your horse. I hope you find the following article both informative and useful.
Firstly I would always recommend purchasing a high quality horse rug. I believe a high quality rug will help your horse stay warm, keep weight on and help you throughout the winter. I would always consider purchasing several horse rugs. I would recommend the following-
• A summer turnout - for when it's very wet but not cold
• A medium turnout- for temperatures between 4 degrees and 9 degrees
• A heavy turnout- for those extremely cold days!
Don't forget for the heavier horse rugs I would recommend having 'combo's' which have a neck piece attached so the whole of the horse is warm.
I would then consider getting a good source of hay in for the winter. In the winter there is a lack of grass due to it not going so you need to supplement this with hay. In the depths of winter when it's snowing you may find your horse will eat around a bale a day.
I would also recommend horse supplements as this will keep your horse fit and healthy in the winter. Horse supplements will enable fatty acids to stay in the body and balance the vitamins and minerals in the body.
I would also recommend purchasing some good quality feed so they are able to have between one and two bucket feeds a day dependant on their needs. I would consider something high in protein and a slow release of energy.
John Cooper would advise you to purchase horse rugs and horse supplements
