This is another HUGE issue for us. The length of time (roughly speaking) that we'll have freezing temperatures Saturday night into Sunday morning. Most will be near freezing by 9pm, and stay there through mid-morning on Sunday! Also, many hours below 27F, so a long 'hard freeze' as well. Ugh. WFTV Channel 9

❄️ Cold Weather Tips From Central Florida Equine ❄️

While it has certainly been chilly recently, a true arctic blast will be sweeping across Central Florida this weekend. All of our Veterinarians have lived in more northern states and have advice for horse care in winter weather!

🐴 Shelter Makes a Difference

Wind chill is often tougher on horses than the temperature itself. A stall or simple three‑sided run‑in shed offers protection from wind and rain.

🧥 Blanket With Purpose

Not every horse needs a blanket. Age, body condition, coat thickness, and health all matter. If your horse does need one, make sure it fits well and stays dry.

🌾 Hay = Heat

Forage is your horse’s natural furnace. Offering extra hay helps them generate body heat from the inside out. Slow feeders help keep hay available longer.

💧 Encourage Drinking

Cold water can reduce intake, which increases colic risk. Slightly warmed water or safe tank heaters can make a big difference in hydration.

🍎 Use Grain to Boost Hydration

Water can be added to their regular grain (if they will eat it that way) to encourage proper water intake. Now is NOT the time to try a feed they do not normally eat. We’re looking at you bran mash. 👀

🧹 Dry Horses Stay Warmer

A wet horse is a cold horse. After rain or a sweaty ride, ensure they’re fully dry before turnout. Coolers or wicking sheets help speed things along.

❤️ Extra Eyes on Seniors & Hard Keepers

Older horses, thin horses, and those with metabolic conditions may need additional support.

If you’re unsure what’s best for your horse, Central Florida Equine is always here to help!
