We're getting our first taste of wintry weather here. When I was out checking our horses recently there was definitely slushy snow mixed with the rain. It was a good reminder to get things cleared up. So I put away all the trotting poles, jump standards, and other odds and ends that might be a hazard if covered by snow. If you live in areas where the weather is turning cold, now is the time to start preparing. Winter Pasture Care Tips offers a few suggestions for winterizing your horse's or pony's outdoor home.
