This winter has been one of the coldest ones we have witnessed in years. The temperatures have dropped below zero and most of the countries are experiencing the coldest weather in history, as the temperatures have reached extreme values even in continents like Europe, which are typically warm. All the equestrians are really worried about their precious horses and made the decision to keep them inside.
But as all the horse owners know, horses are free spirits and only want to stay outside, enjoying nature. A great solution in order to keep your horse warm in these cold days is blanketing. Horse blanketing is a very debated topic amongst all horse owners because some people love these blankets and use them very often whilst other horse owners think that horses develop their own blanket–a haircoat that is thick enough to endure the coldest days of winter, therefore a blanket it’s not necessary.
Whatever you decide to do, keep in mind to check on your horse regularly because there have been several cases this winter where horses were caught on the storm and have been buried under 10 feet of snow. The video we have decided to post today, it is not sad as the story we told above, but it will actually bring you waves of laughter.
It shows two adventurous horses who decided to run out of the barn and go into the snow. Even though they were wearing blankets, as soon as they touched the snow, they regret their decision and decided to go back inside. We can’t blame them, no one can handle this kind of cold!
