🌧️ Hope everyone’s staying safe after the wild weather! 🌪️🐴
We know it’s been a rough few days with all the wind and rain, we hope you and your horses are doing okay. 💚
A few quick tips to help keep your horses safe and comfortable during and after storms:
🐎 Check paddocks and fences: high winds can bring down trees or wires, so make sure there’s no debris or damage.
💧 Fresh water: heavy rain and runoff can muddy troughs or contaminate water sources, so give them a clean refill.
🏠 Shelter and rugs: make sure rugs are dry and fitting well, and check that shelters are stable and secure.
👁️ Watch for injuries or colic: sudden weather changes can stress horses, so keep an eye out for any signs of discomfort.
If you’re worried about your horse after the storm don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’re here to help! 📞💙
