Linden St. Richland, Pfl 17087 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 29,2001 -Al9 livestock Ledger (Continued from Page A 18) The horse has two natural de fenses against cold, a long hair coat and a layer of fat beneath the skin. Both provide an excel lent means of insulation against the cold. The long winter hair coat serves as insulation by re ducing the loss of body heat and provides the first line of defense against the cold. Its insulating value is lost when the horse be comes wet and/or is covered with mud. This is why it is im portant to provide a dry sheltered area in cold wet weather and regular grooming. In damp weather, be alert for rain rot and other skin prob lems. If unchecked, rain rot can result in hair loss and irritation to the horse. It is very important to keep the horse from losing its hair coat and body weight and approaching an energy deficient state (the horse must be properly fed). Most nutritional needs of the horse do not change during the winter season. Vitamin, mineral and protein requirements will still depend upon the horse’s age and physiological status and not on the time of year. The horse should be fed according to body condition. Thin horses should be fed some supplemental grain in addition to good quality hay to assure enough energy to pro duce warmth, while a fat horse will require little or no increase from their fall diet. Most mature horses that are idle and in good flesh can survive the winter quite well on good quality hay and ample clean water. TV . . * *%' ' «. »«t|■ -‘H# ■ i * Jt v ✓ < *, ♦ While horses need shelter from cold winds, rain and snow; it is not necessary to keep them in a closed barn throughout the winter. Horses kept outdoors in the winter with access to a run in shed, that opens away from the normal wind patterns, will generally have fewer respiratory disease problems than horses kept in poorly ventilated, heated barns. With a three-sided shed, the horse can take shelter during a rain or snowstorm and its insu lating hair remains dry and fluffed. When the storm is over, the horse can emerge and be comfortable even though the mercury has dropped below zero. Horses maintained in an enclosed barn should be ex ercised regularly, to maintain mdscling and health. One important aspect of care that often is neglected is hoof care. Even though you are not regularly riding the horse, the hooves still grow during the winter months. In addition, the horse is traveling on uneven, frozen ground that can crack and break feet. Have the shoes removed and the hooves trimmed before turning the horse out for winter, and have the feet trimmed on a regular basis. This insures that when spring arrives, the horse will have sound hooves that will be capable of holding a shoe. The important thing is do qot just turn horses out and forget about them. Every day at every feeding, horses should receive at least a visual exami nation. * . Thicker 29 Gmge Sited V 301-334-3977 1333 Jui Hilar M.
