The British Horse Society Winter Care Guide for Horses

Cold conditions may mean that you need to provide extra forage for your horse depending on how much grass is available.

Forage can help to keep your horse warm, acting as an in-built heating system as the fibre is broken down in the digestive system.

Winter can bring some challenges when it comes to keeping your horse hydrated.

The colder months can cause water to freeze so it’s important to take measures to prevent this

Fill containers with water so you have an emergency supply if your taps freeze.

Add warm water to buckets to prevent the water from freezing overnight.

Check that the pipes on your automatic water drinker are well insulated to prevent freezing.
