Prepare For Winter

The first slushy snow has fallen and melted away. The jumps are still out in the field, and it's probably time to bring them in. When I suggested we clean them up, the jumpers in the bunch screamed, "no!" But winter weather is inevitable, and poles, barrels and standards can be a hazard if they are hidden under the 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.
