Horse Talk: Bits, pieces and a farewell to Jane Savoie
As usual, my old-year-new-year transitions weren’t very smooth because I am not organized.
My days include trips to the barn to be with the horse. I clean the stall and dump the contents in the small arena on the north end of the property. The barn staff handles dragging the muck, so all I have to do is empty the cart.
I bought a bucket water heater recently to prepare warm mashes, probably this weekend, since we’re due for rain and cold temperatures. EQUUS Extra editors published an article about the way to provide a comforting “warm mash” for your horse, and surprised me with the recommendation to steer away from the usual “bran mash-based” offering.
