Winter Barn Readiness Checklist 

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, it’s time to get your barn, your horses, and yourself ready for winter. A little preparation now makes for a smoother, safer, and healthier season ahead.

Here are a few key ways to prepare:
 1. Fill your hay barn: Stock up before winter storms and price spikes hit. Make sure bales are stacked off the ground and protected from moisture.

 2. Winterize your arena: Improve drainage, check footing depth, and consider dragging or leveling before the rains start.

 3. Reduce mud in high-traffic areas: Add gravel, mats, or footing around gates, water troughs, and feeding zones to keep your horses’ hooves healthy and your chores easier.

 4. Check water sources: Insulate or heat troughs and hoses so your herd always has fresh, unfrozen water.

5. And don’t forget to support your horse’s health from the inside out.
