Horses have a higher risk of developing impaction colic in the fall when their diets change from moist grass to dry hay. Cold snaps or storms can also lead to frozen water sources. Preventive tip: heated watering bowls or tank heaters can help reduce the risk of colic. 🐴 💦

Cold fall nights increase the risk of laminitis due to higher-than-usual sugar levels in grass. To prevent laminitis, keep your horses off pasture for a few days after overnight temperatures drop below 5 C. Learn more about preventing laminitis: ow.ly/Mssl50XeANe
