With cold weather here, it is a good time to review the article on my Helpful Resources page, Feeding in Cold Weather.

Other important tips: Please make sure your horse has enough water. I have found heated buckets to be a life saver. Make sure buckets are clean. If concerned about food or water consumption, you can add warm water to their grain to make a mash.

Items available for short term leasing:

My client and good friend, Leanne Haley-Brown of Wilson, NY has recently given Royalton Equine Veterinary Services a POLAR Heart Rate Monitor, complete with instruction guide. I would like to make it available to my clients who have an interest in monitoring their horse's fitness level.

It takes you through 8 vital signs and helps to measure your horse's health and fitness.

The lease of the item is free, but would require a deposit so I can be assured of its return in proper condition. For more information, check out www.horsehrm.com

Also available to borrow on a short term basis are several videos:

  • Horse Grooming
  • Schooling the Showring Jumper(Pessoa)
  • A Day at The Medal Finals
