Winterize Pleasure Horses
To Keep Them Healthy
College Park, Md., Dec. 18
Now that cold weather has
killed most of the parasite eggs
in pastures, it’s a good idea to
"winterize” your horses to keep
them healthy through the win
ter, says Dr. Robert Hammond,
University of Maryland Exten
sion veterinarian.
New drugs that are effective
in removing bots and other in
ternal parasites will pay off in
a thriftier horse and better use
of feed. Some of the new drugs
can be given by injection, by
stomach tube, or by mixing with
the feed They are i datively
safe and very effective, Dr.
Hammond adds Contact your
piacticing veterinarian for
names of drugs and recommend
ed methods of treatment.
If your horse has not had a
tetanus booster in the past year,
it is a good idea to have this
done now, as well, Dr. Ham
mond advises.
Tetanus organisms can be
found in almost every horse
stable; under these conditions,
the slightest puncture would
could cause lockjaw Tetanus in
horses is usually fatal If your

unvaccinatcd horse is injured,
an immediate treatment with
tetanus antitoxin will offer
some protection, but regular an
nual vaccination with toxoid is
the best insurance, Dr. Ham
mond advises.
Lice can find a home in the
long hair a horse glows in win
ter. If your horse is infested
with lice he will tend to be rest
less and uneasy from the irrita
tion. He will be too busy fight
ing these insects to be comfoit
able.
Spraying or washing with a
safe pesticide should add much
to your horse’s well being. Pay
particular attention to the ears,
mane and tail, and be suie to
rule the insecticide well into the
hair.
To add to your horse’s health
comfort during the winter
months, continue a regular
grooming schedule even
though you may not be using
the animal as often as you did
in warmer weather. Grooming
helps you control parasites,
keeps the coat clean and stimu
lates the skin, says Dr. Edwin
and also developing new dairy
products in addition tq the re
search comments said: “It is ab
solutely essential that dairymen
must be organized into much
larger cooperatives and vastly
fewer in number which between
them will control the marketing
of the major portion of the Na
tion’s raw milk supply run by
farmer directors who are willing
to work and sacrifice for the ma-.
jonty.”

Goodwin, Extension livestock
specialist.
Don’t neglect the care of your
horse’s feet during the winter.
Keep the pens clean and dry
and pick the feet every few days
to remove the dirt and check for
problems. If you are not going
to be riding much, pull the
shoes and trim the feet as often
as needed.
Remember that a horse is an
athlete, Dr. Goodwin advises.
Athletes need exercise to keep
their muscles in tone If your
horse has several acres to run in
especially if he is with other
horses he will probably get
enough exercise But if he does
not have an exercise lot, he
should be ridden or exercised
on a longe line almost every
day.
A horse that is confined to a
small stall during long winter
months is likely to develop
stable vices such as cribbing,
stall weaving or stall walking,
Dr. Goodwin adds.
