You can be grateful for no flies! 🤠
Cold acclimation is standard but when it is unusual and sudden it can be a risk to many without preparation. But you seem to have the bases covered with rugs, blocked wind and heated water.
In my experience living in the northern climates, heated water is an amazing impaction colic prevention. We used…

Rudimentary canine 305 found in a 15 year old mare. She did not exhibit any gelding-like behavior. I believe this is because the tooth is too small. My mare has a rudiment canine the same size 405 and shows more mare-like behavior than gelding. The tooth wiggled to the touch and was easily extracted with my fingers. The views shown are… Read more

I ditto @Kathy – be patient. The muscle will take 6 to 12 months or more to return while the fat is quick to go. What is more important is the improved attitude soon followed by the improved overall health of the horse. Improved work ethic and improved resiliency and recovery after exercise are common observations along with improved hair…
