Woollen Rug

Winter Care Considerations.

For many pleasure and competition horses, the winter months are time to unwind and enjoy a well-earned break.  However, turning horses out for winter is less common in the modern era, as many enthusiasts train at specialist facilities, which include all weather riding surfaces or an indoor arena.

Exercise is good for people and also good for horses, so winter activity adds to the health and wellbeing of all concerned.  Owners who take a holistic approach to winter management will reap the rewards, as paying special attention to general horse care; exercise, feeding and rugging will ensure that no undetected changes can develop into serious health or management problems.

Girthing can be a troublesome matter for owners of sensitive or reactionary horses and particular care is needed to understand the performance expectations of various girths.  It is recommended that the owner does adequate research and talk to an expert about the readily available and affordable choices.

Saddleworld Bitting and Bit Care Guide -

The bit is the primary point of contact and control used for riding horses. While a number of riding styles and disciplines manage this point of control differently and in some cases, eliminating the bit completely, the concept of a bit and bridle is fundamental.  It is also acknowledged that incorrect bitting, clumsy or incorrect early training or a horse with a mental block or some other resistance to accepting the control of the bit will hinder the progress of training and make harmonious horsemanship impossible.
