Bring in Winter Stuff
- Get out things you'll use in winter like blankets for the horses and turn up the heat in the barn.

Sweep and Dust for Winter/Clean Buckets
- Sweep out all the walls, beams, stalls, and aisles in preparation for being closed up for most of the winter. All the dust and debris is bad for your horses to breathe and it's so much better to do that kind of stuff when the weather is warm and you can have the doors open; it's not good for you to breathe either! I also wash out all my food/water buckets and disinfect them with a Tablespoon of bleach in the full bucket.

Bring in All the Summer Blankets
- Put away all the summer stuff like blankets and fly sheets. YOu won't be using them and they just get in the way.
