Webcast: Winter Care and Feeding for Your Horse

As horse people are adjusting to colder temperatures and drier air, so are our equine friends. Winter can be tough on some horses, depending on their age or their usual climate. Sheltering, blanketing, feeding requirements and access to unfrozen water are a few factors to evaluate when preparing for the winter months. Join My Horse University and eXtension Horse Quest for a free live webcast on November 29, 2011, at 7 p.m. ET and take the guesswork out of winter care and feeding,
