Winter can be one of the most challenging times of year from a nutritional perspective. As temperatures drop and pasture quality declines, many horse owners wonder whether their horse's current diet is still meeting their needs. As an equine nutritionist, I often see owners focus on adding more feed when the real solution lies in evaluating the entire diet, including forage intake, protein quality, vitamin and mineral balance, hydration, and the horse's individual requirements. In this article, I'll explain how a horse's nutritional needs can change during winter and share practical, evidence-based feeding strategies to help maintain condition, support overall health, and ensure your horse is set up to thrive throughout the colder months. 🐴❄️
