yeah we were feeding a warm mash mix that the horses LOVED , each had their own blend of stuff with a little salt and electrolytes added. Heated water was kept in the stalls, all water buckets where placed on the floor packed in shredded straw… the only time we had a few buckets freeze was the night it went below zero…and no horse dumped their water or pooped in the buckets, so they got a reward of a cookie.
We keep a fairly close eye on the water consumption just something we have always done since our days of competitive trail Lakota drinks the most water of any horse I have ever had.
Just got done restocking the barn, 2.5 tons of teff hay, forty bags of compressed shredded straw (Socks is allergic to pine) and a few bags of feed as none of our horses get much grain. But we are set for a while so that will mean nothing will happen, which is OK
