Caring for Horses in the Winter: Keeping Them Healthy, Happy & ComfortableWinter brings unique challenges for horse owners, but with a little extra care and planning, horses can thrive even in the coldest months. Proper nutrition, shelter, and daily management go a long way in keeping your horse healthy and comfortable all winter long.Increased Nutritional NeedsHorses burn more calories in cold temperatures to maintain body heat. Free-choice, high-quality forage is essential, as digestion produces internal warmth. Some horses—especially seniors, hard keepers, and performance horses—may require dietary adjustments to maintain proper body condition.Hydration & Digestive SupportReduced water intake in winter can increase the risk of dehydration and impaction colic. Along with providing unfrozen water, digestive supplements such as probiotics or digestive enzymes can help support gut function when forage intake increases and activity levels change.Shelter & WarmthWhile many horses grow thick winter coats, they still need protection from wind, snow, and freezing rain. Access to shelter protects horses from wind and precipitation, while regular turnout encourages circulation, digestion, and joint mobility. Daily checks help monitor body condition, hydration, soundness, and overall health throughout the season. Blanketing may be beneficial for clipped, senior, or thin horses, but it should be used appropriately and checked daily.Hoof Health in WinterWet, icy footing can compromise hoof integrity, leading to cracks, thrush, and slower growth. Regular hoof maintenance helps prevent cracks, thrush, and snow buildup. Supplements containing biotin, methionine, zinc, and copper support strong hoof growth year-round, even when environmental conditions are less than ideal.Joint & Mobility SupportCold, damp conditions can worsen joint stiffness, especially in older horses or those with arthritis. Joint supplements containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, MSM, glucosamine, or omega fatty acids may help support joint lubrication, flexibility, and comfort during colder months.Daily Movement & MonitoringEven in winter, turnout and light exercise are important for circulation, digestion, and overall well-being. Daily checks allow you to monitor weight, coat condition, and signs of stiffness or discomfort.Thoughtful winter care—including proper nutrition and targeted supplementation—helps keep horses comfortable, strong, mobile and healthy until spring returns. A little extra attention now helps ensure a healthier, happier horse year-round. 🐴❄️basicequinenutrition.ca ... See MoreSee Less
