Here are some tips on how to care for your horses joints during the winter months:
·
When
considering the type of bedding that you want to use it is important to have
straw rather than shavings, because this will enable you to make a deeper bed
and also keep your horse warmer.
·
A
nice thick overcoat is also important and if your animal likes to chew through
it then you may want to buy a more rugged design.
·
It
is also important to stretch their legs, back, and neck every day to relieve
any muscle swelling and stiffness.
·
You
can also use products like Danilon that can help reduce any inflammation of the
joints and muscles. This is a powerful drug and is only available through
prescription from your local vets. Once you do have the prescription you can
buy this product online therefore saving you more money.

Using
natural supplements like glucosamine, omega oils, and garlic will also help
with their joints through the winter months.
These are
just a few tips for anyone who is looking to limit the damage that cold harsh
winter months can cause to a horse. By following these simple methods you can
limit the amount of discomfort that your animal will face and they will have a
more natural diet.
Lastly for
those animal lovers who also have dogs and cats and are looking to get supplements
for their joints as well, you should also look at Synequin. There is no need
for a prescription and it can be fed into their daily diet.
The cold months can really be punishing to a horse so its important to give then a warm bedding and area and apply creams to keep them warm.
ReplyDeleteI'm more familiar with straw as bedding than shavings. Your post reminds me of the expenses that go with keeping a horse. My friend's daughter wants one, aside from wanting to live in a ranch (lol) and he's backing off at the costs. Now it's clear to me again why.
ReplyDeleteCaring for these horses are very expensive and those who prefer to raise them really have the funds to keep them healthy and provide the proper care.
ReplyDeleteThese elegant, spirited creatures really need a lot of tending to. They're quite expensive to have :/ Nonetheless, all worth it!

ReplyDeleteYour post reminds me that my son wants to go horseback riding this semestral break :)
