Have you planned for Winter? Make sure your paddocks are ready, water troughs scrubbed, salt licks replenished, fences mended and fab hay stored. A great way to keep horses happy is to give them a weekly bran mash. I love to put rolled oats with bran and flax seed, bit of mineral oil and make a batch with warm water in the morning. Then add more hot water just before serving and when you see how the bran has expanded and absorbed the water. Store apples and carrots for extra nutrition. If you have an old crock pot/slow cooker, its also nice to slow cook flax seed and top a scoop on evening meal. It warms their tummies and keeps their coats shiny! The warm mix will look gooey but thats OK! Make sure too that your winter rugs are all laundered! Winter is coming (just like Ned Stark said in Game of Thrones!).
