INTERESTING What Horses Don’t Need In Cold Weather A cozy stall bedded with shavings A heated barn A blanket Extra grain (horses DO NOT need grain to stay warm, instead increase forage) Limited movement What Horses Do Need In Cold Weather Plenty of free choice grass hay Water (at times you may need to warm it for them so they’ll drink enough during colder weather) Plenty of free choice, loose, unrefined sea salt Shelter and wind blocks to get out of the elements if they choose. Some horses will choose to be out in the snow, rain, etc. It should be up to them to decide. Allow plenty of movement. Again, movement plays a huge role in a naturally healthy horse, especially in the winter months when they need extra movement to produce body heat and keep their muscles loose. Additional nutritional support, NOT grain, in a situation where a horse has trouble keeping weight on. Source: soulfulequine
