Preparing Your Horse for Severe Wet Weather: What to Expect and How to Respond

Heavy rain brings numerous health hazards: flooded paddocks, horses cut off from each other or trapped in floodwaters, loss of shelter, contaminated drinking water, downed fences and tangled wire, an increase in biting insects, and skin problems. These conditions create significant demands and stress for both our horses and ourselves. Let's explore some of these hazards and ways to mitigate them.

It may be one of the hardest decisions you ever have to make, but it can also be one of the most responsible and compassionate things we can do for our horses. When a horse is extremely ill, severely injured, lame, or dangerous, euthanasia can be the kindest option.
