Seasonal changes can be stressful for horses and livestock, especially as temperatures fluctuate and routines adjust.
It’s important to recognize the signs of Seasonal Stress in Horses early to prevent long-term health issues. Behavioral changes such as irritability, pacing, or withdrawal can indicate stress. Physical symptoms might include a dull coat, decreased appetite, or weight loss.
To help your animals adapt, maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, turnout, and grooming. Adding dietary supplements can also support their health during this time. Ensure they have access to clean, unfrozen water and shelter from extreme weather. Enrichment activities, such as toys for horses or grazing opportunities for livestock, can reduce boredom and anxiety.
Regular observation is key. Spend time watching your animals to identify potential issues before they escalate. Seasonal Stress in Horses is manageable with proper care, helping your animals transition smoothly into the new season.
