The multi-state Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) outbreak is reaching its conclusion. The single EHV-1 positive horse in Colorado has made a full recovery and was released from quarantine on December 11, 2025. Additionally, after a period of close monitoring ensuring no new cases of illness, all hold orders for Colorado horses exposed at the Texas and Oklahoma events were released on December 10, 2025. We encourage owners to remain cautious, especially during out-of-state travel and at commingling events.

Going to keep this as simple as you should...Want to help your horse stay warm during cold nights??

Feed more hay!

Horses are better equipped to deal with cold than we are. Aside from their thick, insulated coat, the digestion of forage acts like an internal furnace to help warm them from the inside out.

You can use a slow feeder to slow down the fast eaters or “fluffy” ones (🙋🏼‍♀️ I have one of those!), but having access at all times is important.

A few other things to consider are adding extra salt or an electrolyte (like Bluebonnet Hydrate and Recover) or wetting down existing feed to help with water consumption. For older horses with bad teeth, increase their chopped forage or hay pellets at their evening meal. Avoid adding things they don’t eat on a daily basis like a mash of something other than their normal feed or a type of hay they don’t already eat daily. This can only add to digestive distress.

At the end of a cold day, feed more hay 😘
