Winter Weight

Here's a winter time tip for those people who don't get to ride much during the winter. Be sure that you are still brushing your horse and going over him. I can't tell you how many horses have been brought to me in late winter for a month or two of training and they are a bit thin. The owner had not done much with them for several months and did not realize that they had dropped weight over the winter. A turn-out blanket or even a heavy winter coat can disguise the weight loss. When you put your hands on them and can readily feel the ribs, they are probably too thin.

This is so true. I've had people say "my horse is fat", then you feel them and it all hair over ribs.
