Flash says "Finally some suitable weather for all this hair I've got! But don't forget to check those waterers. Now is the time they might fail. We see a lot more colics after a cold snap because the horses don't drink as well."

With the forecast extreme low temps for this weekend we want to remind everyone to have your trucks plugged in and trailers plowed out. In temps like that, if your horse needs emergency treatment, the only way may be to haul in where water isn't freezing within minutes.
