Absolute Horse

With the clocks set to fall back this coming Sunday November 3rd here are a few tips to help your horse transition smoothly during daylight savings time.

🐴 Be patient. Some horses may take longer to adapt to the new schedule while others may not notice a difference.
🐴 Stay flexible and make gradual changes as able.
🐴 Horses are sensitive to changes in their feeding schedules. If your horse is used to eating at a specific time consider shifting the schedule gradually such as 10-15 minutes each day as able rather than abruptly moving it by an hour.
🐴 The transition period can be challenging for some horses so keep an eye out for any behavioral changes that may indicate stress such as pacing, decreased appetite.
🐴 With decreased daylight hours ensure proper lighting in barns and stalls as appropriate.
🐴 Maintain a consistent exercise program as able. Exercise is good for your horses’s physical health an mental well being

But most of all enjoy the extra hour with your horse! 🐴💕

Horses exposed to smoke and ash may experience lasting health repercussions. Even within barns, the air quality they breathe mirrors that of the external environment, unless the barn is enclosed and equipped with HVAC systems or a closed air circulation setup.

Throughout this exposure horses inhale ash and small particles, known as particulates, which can become lodged in both their upper airway and lungs. Increased respiration during physical activity or while engaging in turnout activities can increase accumulation of these foreign particles in the lungs. The extent to which particles accumulate deep into the lungs correlates with the duration of recovery.

Monitor the air quality index (AQI) to determine if the air is clearing and can start the countdown to riding once again. The AQI needs to be consistently below 100 throughout a 24-hour period to be counted as a “clean air day.” The number of clean air days are used to establish the horse’s recovery schedule.

When the air quality is consistently below 100, it is ideal to allow horses a period of rest in a turnout or pasture for at least seven days, and is better especially if the AQI was over 400 at any time. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activities during this time to give the lungs time to clear accumulated particulates. Adequate hydration is an important factor in clearing particulates.
