NEWARK, Del. - Rainy,
muddy winter days mean
you get less use from your
horse, but it needs even
more care, according to
Melvin Reitnour, extension
equine specialist at the
University of Delaware.
Your horse will probably
get less exercise than it’s
used to getting. You should
provide exercise facilities,
Reitnour says.
The horse will need
adequate, well-aired, clean
shelter. To prevent thrush,
which is an unpleasnt, bad
smelling problem of the
horse’s feet, keep the stall
clean and dry.
If thrush occurs, treat with
recommended medication.
Also, check the stall for loose
and protruding nails and
other sharp edges that can
cause troublesome wounds.

BEARING HANGERS
These “C" type flexible bear
ing hangers permit flexing
over rocks and stumps, yet
provide plenty of down
pressure for positive
penetration. They are op
tional on 12', 14’, 16’ and 19’
models with 9 1 /«" blade spac
ing. Standard full length
bearing hangers provide am
ple clearance for trash flow
and reduce chances of plugg
ing.
Help
survive the winter
Is your stable well-aired?
If you go into the stall in
the morning and notice an
overwhelming smell of
ammonia while the moisture
fogs your glasses, your
stables needs ventilation. A
well-aired stable will help
you escape the cost of eye
and respiratory problems
with your horse, too.
Feed your horse according
to its needs, Reitnour
recommends. It should have
access to clean, non-freezing
water. Don’t allow it to
range over manure piles.
Neither cold weather nor the
heat of fermentation will
destroy worm eggs which
could reinfect the animal.
By this time you should
have had your horse treated
for internal parasites. A
horse shculd not be expected
to go through the winter

Here’s real all around performance in a tandem disc that’s suited to nearly
every job. Sturdy, semi-rigid frame of the MF 620 assures you of uniform
cutting depth whether you’re slicing through tough stalks, knocking down
ridges, or preparing a seedbed. One lever adjusts both front and rear
gangs to match varied working conditions. Adjust one set of gangs, use the
same lever to adjust the second set. Spring-cushioned screw crank permits
easy balancing of front and rear gangs for deep discing or smoothing
Eliminate ridging with lateral adjustment of rear gangs to match your
travel speed. Weight ranges from 215 to 295 lbs. per foot, depending on
size and type of blades to give you the kind of weight you need for deep,
uniform penetration. Heavy 4" x 4" gang frames add extra strength. At
taching points are reinforced for longer life, too. Double heavy-duty springs
on front and rear gangs on the MF 620 take the work out of lifting wings on
the 19’ and 23’ models for transport. They also assist in returning wings to
operating position, easily. MF exclusive single pin cam lock provides fast
and easy “no wrench” locking and unlocking of folding wings.

your horses
necessary parasites. Worm
every six to eight weeks with
anthelmintics which are
effective against the internal
parasites, strongyles, bots,
ascands and pinwomos.
Good management will
help control internal
parasites. Clean the stall
daily, and remove manure
from the bam area. Spread
manure on crop land but 'not
pastures.
Clip pastures with a rotary
mower so that the grass is
about four inches high.
Chain drag pastures to
spread manure piles.
Do not over-pasture
horses. Allow an acre for
each horse. Keep pastures
well fertilized for maximum
growth and nutrition. Lome
to maintain a pH of 6.3-€.5.
Also, ask your
veterinarian about vac
cinating horses against

various encephalitic
diseases and any other
treatments that are needed,
and about the parasitic
control program best suited
to your horse.
A number of horse skin
problems usually crop up
each fall, Reitnour noted.
They’re probably caused by
fungi; talk to your
veterinarian about treat
ment.
Make sure the fungi are
not earned over in the gear
to cause a new infection.
Clean, disinfect, repair and
renew all the gear.
Winter is a good time to
get your horse’s feet taken
care of, Reitnour says. Keep
hooves trimmed and even.
Remove the shoes if you
don’t plan much nding or
work for your horse this
winter.
