The colder seasons of the year can be extremely expensive for horse owners as there is just so much you need to purchase for them in the colder months.
I've written the following article to help inform you of the different things you need to purchase to successfully get through the winter with a happy pony.
I hope you will find the following article informative and useful.
Firstly I would always recommend purchasing some good quality feed.
I firstly consider what type of horse you have and what sort of feed you need dependent on what work it will do, whether it keeps weight on and whether it will be living in or out throughout the winter.
Once you've decided upon this I would purchase the amount you need for the whole winter season.
It can be a pain going back and forth to get each bag.
I would always recommend check the date on the feed to make sure it will last.
I would also recommend purchasing a great stock of hay and bedding if they will be kept in a stable over night.
Don't forget you may need to purchase haylage instead of hay if your horse needs a little extra nourishment.
I would also recommend purchasing a good quality horse supplement so that you horse has a great balance of fatty acids, vitamins and minerals in their body.
I would also recommend purchasing some great quality horse rugs to prevent them from getting wet or cold in the winter.
