I rode Sparky today and did loads of poles and trotting.Its not all about cantering you know!!It got dark very quickly but that was ok "cause I wasnt jumping.Here is a tip for you.In winter ponies get colds at least once.Heres a few tips on how to prevent it.
1.Each pony should have there own bucket so that the flu wont spread as easily.also wash the buckets carefully at least once a week.It can be fun making nametags for all the buckets!!Make sure they're tough and water proof.
2.Ring your vet ant get at least three packets of anti-flu powder.That way the flu wont develop as much and will be easier to get rid of.
3At all times your pony should have at least one good rug on and if he lives out it should be water-proof
4After exercise or sweating rug your pony up quickly and dont let him get cold.Also garlic in his feed helps his lungs to fight it off
5Warm up and cool down your pony properly
6If you can ,dont share equitment like bridles,buckets...
7Most importantly if your pony is sick call the vet for proffessional advice
8ponies love a hot bran mash and it boosts their immune system!!
