Riding with Hope

Monday Modivation:
Remember, we can all enjoy horses. Even the fake ones! Thank you Dora and staff for being a good sport at the 19th annual Chocolate Affair last week.

With the weather being so interesting, our Working Wednesday was wrapped around the below question: in what weather do you blanket horses?

My answer is watch your herd! They will tell you. But I have learned some tricks over the years: cold ears or belly, tucked back into a shed, butt to the wind, and the start of a shiver in the stiffle. And always check daily UNDER the blanket for issues or sweat.

For more information, check out "ask a vet."

Ask A Vet: To blanket or not to blanket, That is the question for your horse!   We get asked on a regular basis “When is the right time to blanket my horse?” Here in Colorado, we can get some pretty gnarly winter weather with blizzards, extreme negative temperatures and very high arctic winds. ...
