We are all scattered all over the globe, that many of us,if not already have had the early on set of winter....colder weather, windier conditions....
This is my VERY first winter with my new horses, and was curious that obviously bathing will be difficult less you have heated water or those heater portable tanks. But I don't...so I am thinking sponge baths for dirty areas will have to do less it becomes really rainy and muddy.... then I am assuming I will need to wait until it is a bit warmer to actually bathe.... My older mare really gets shivery even on just a windy day...that I don't want to risk bathing her in such cold conditions plus cold water...
Would like to hear the different ways you all deal with this and what seems to work best for you... I'm taking notes!
