Do Horses need less water in the winter compared to the summer?? No! A horse's daily water intake should stay the same throughout the entire year - roughly 30 litres a day. It's so important to provide fresh water supplies regularly for freezing. #EquineMyths #preventingcolic

Very Exciting News! #teamphoenix #equinevets #NewPremises #KennifordFarm

If your horse is rugged over winter, make sure to check under the rug each day for any rubbing, chaffing or injuries which may go un-noticed under a rug. It is also a good chance to check they are not loosing or gaining too much weight! #WinterTopTips #teamPhoenix #PhoenixEquine

Is it true that frosted grass can cause laminitis? It is actually some what true! It's not 100% certain why, but it's thought that it is to do with the shift in sugar content in the grass. With the frosty weather make sure to take care on frosted grass with laminitic prone horses
