Preparing for February – a month centered on love, connection, and appreciation—and for horse owners in the Phoenix East Valley, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the bond we share with our animals.
From backyard barns in Gilbert to desert properties in Queen Creek, Mesa, Apache Junction, and San Tan Valley, horses are more than animals—they’re trusted companions and family members.
Showing love to your horse doesn’t require grand gestures. Small, consistent acts of care make the biggest difference. Extra grooming time helps improve circulation, supports skin health, and strengthens the bond between horse and owner. February’s mild East Valley weather is ideal for slow rides, groundwork, or simply spending quiet time together in the pasture.
Nutrition is another meaningful way to care for your horse. Evaluate body condition after the winter months and adjust feed as needed—especially for senior horses who may struggle to maintain weight. Providing fresh water, quality forage, and appropriate supplements shows love through responsible care.
Routine health maintenance is also an expression of commitment. February is a great time to schedule dental exams, hoof evaluations, and wellness checkups before spring riding season begins. Early care helps prevent discomfort and supports long-term health.
For owners of aging or medically fragile horses, love can also mean having honest conversations about comfort and quality of life. These decisions are never easy, but preparing ahead ensures your horse is treated with dignity and compassion.
