How do horses stay warm in the cold? 🐴❄️ Hay is their secret weapon! Constant forage—like hay—acts as a natural furnace for their bodies. Here’s why: 🌾 Eating forage keeps their digestive system active, creating heat through fermentation. 🔥 This ‘internal heater’ helps regulate their body temperature, even in freezing temps. 💧 Hay also encourages water intake, reducing the risk of dehydration. Horses need access to quality hay 24/7 to stay cozy and healthy during winter. Keep them munching, keep them warm! 🐎💛 🥰🎥 @honeysminitherapyadventures #HorsesInWinter #EquineCare #HayIsLife #StayWarmStayHealthy #HorseTherapy #horses #hay #food #heat #winter #frozen #animals #cuteanimals #train #hey
