So, the weather is too bad to turn out the horses. What should you do so the
horses don't colic?
1. Increase the hay and decrease the grain. Only give enough grain to
get supplements in. If you have Bran or Oatmeal you can make a warm ,wet
mash of 1/3 grain and 2/3 Bran or Oatmeal. The total should not exceed 1/2 of
the total grain normally fed . Hay should be spread out throughout the day.
Don't feed it all at once
2. Make sure the horses have plenty of water.
3. Consider turning them out just while cleaning the stall. Even a little
exercise will help.
Hope this helps .
Don
