Summer has definitely hit our neck of the woods. If we are all barely able to stand the heat I can only imagine how our horses must feel this time of year. With that being said I wanted to share some treats that your horses might appreciate in this scorching weather.
Make your horse tasty ice cubes using grains, raisins and even apple chunks. If your horse has never had ice cubes in their water before make sure you supervise them for their first try. (Do not over feed them ice treats - moderation is key in the heat)
If your horse isn't into apples or raisins you can always try slicing up carrots and sticking them in the freezer. Your horse is sure to love this cold treat.
Make homemade mint popsicles. The mint helps to regulate temperature and will serve as a refreshing treat.
What special treat do you make your horses when its extra hot out? Post your recipes or suggestions on how to keep cool. We're always looking for new ideas.
Stay cool!
