Daily Poll: Horses & Winter?

[Haley]

1.) Do you ride at all in the Winter (when it's more chilly out)? Yes
2.) Do you have a feeding and riding schedule for your horse(s)? If so, explain when you feed and ride your horses and dodging it all with school/work/etc. Yes feed before and after school and ride after school

3.) What type of feed do you feed your horse? How much do you feed him/her? Is he/she at the right weight, a little chubby or needs to put some weight on? hay/corn/grain 3pats of hay every feeding and corn/grain on occasion and my horse is the right weight

4.) How much do you work your horse in the Winter? Do you ride indoors and/outdoors? Either or, how long do you ride for and what do you do with him/her? Outdoor when there is no ice and for about and hour or until I get way to cold

5.) When turning your horse out and/or stabling him/her, do you blanket him/her just yet? If so, what type of blanket do you use (brand, thickness, etc). If you do not, why don't you just yet or even at all? No Blanket only for state will he get a small blanket but other wise no because he has never liked them.

6.) When hauling your horse (no matter how long the ride is), do you blanket your horse in the trailer? Do you have him/her wear shipping boots? Wear anything else or even nothing at all? When in the trailer he has a blanket on for the winter cause of the cold air bowling in but no shipping boots.

7.) What does your horse wear out in the pasture? (Blanket him/her? Fly masks? Boots?) **Even though it's Winter. Nothing but in the summer after I ride I will put fly spray on
