News from Spirit Horse Center - October 2010
Winter horse care reminders
• Click here for Top Ten Winter Blanket Tips, which includes valuable information on buying and caring for winter blankets. All blankets are not created equal, and buying the wrong type can prove to be an expensive adventure.
• Check your winter water equipment. Clean your tank heaters and automatic stock waterers or water tanks to ensure that everything is clean and in good repair.
• Check your hay supply carefully this year, especially round bales. With all the rain this summer, it was a challenging year to put up hay correctly. Check for hidden internal dust and mold pockets.
