December 13 marked National Day of the Horse. If you're a horse owner, remember that in winter weather your horse's blanket isn't the only defense against the cold. Horses have their own personal thermostat, powered by the calories they burn. That means when the temperature drops, you may need to add extra hay to your horse's feed so they can keep the chill at bay.
Winter is also an important time to take good care of a horse's teeth. If teeth aren't properly cared for by a veterinarian, your horse won't be able to grind up their food and get all the nutrients they need.
