Feeding your horse good quality hay is important during winter months when pasture grasses are short or are not growing. Horses need at least 1-1.5% of their body weight per day in roughages to maintain a healthy GI tract, but 2% or even more may be appropriate during cold weather, especially when the horse lives outdoors. To learn more about hay and hay nutrition, take our Hay Nutrition 101 course at www.omoleneuniversity.com

During the cold season, horse owners must make sure that their animals receive proper feed, water and shelter to stay healthy and comfortable. Since riders usually put a lot of time and effort into getting their horses ready for shows, trail rides, or other events during the warm months, if they maintain their horses over the winter, all that effort won’t go to waste and have to be started over in the spring.
