Put on weight for winter

The approach of winter means our horses should be fat and sassy!


As autumn approaches and the inevitable chills of winter get closer it's a good time to make sure that your horses are maintaining a good weight. A good rule of thumb is to check their ribs. They should be easily felt, but not easily seen. If your horse's ribs are easily visible now, they will be painfully visible when winter hits. Keep the weight on them now and they'll be warm and comfortable through the winter with a nice layer of fat!
