Triple Crown Feed- Marcia Kulak shares tips for managing horses in the heat.

Let me start by saying I love Trilple Crown and have been feeding it for a long time but … Seriously? Change the water three times a day? Maybe if they are in stalls 24 hours a day but out in pasture with 100 gallon water tubs that’s not realistic. And this advice given without specifying whether they are stalled all the time or allowed to be horses gives all the newbie horse owners one more thing to over analyze and drive people who know what they are doing even more crazy with their ideas they read and find in Facebook.

Hi there, Yes this is referring to her changing the water buckets in her barn. Remember this is what she prefers to do, there are many other opinions and ideas to help horses in the heat including turning out to graze at night, giving horses a quick hose down, not necessarily dumping troughs in the paddocks, but at the least giving them a quick examination and cleaning out any scum and having plenty of shaded areas for horses to go. There is nothing wrong with her recommendation as clean, cool water is preferred.

Thanks for replying. I thought stalled horses was what she meant but for all those newbies who sit on Facebook, etc all day instead of being outside with their horses and won’t listen to someone with 30+ years experience your reply may help if they run across this. Love Triple Crown!
