For example, here are some steps to take around the barn:

• Stock up on quality hay and store it in a dry place
• Outdoor hoses and water lines need to be drained or winterized
• Installed and check water tank heaters
• Fences and gates should be repaired, and high-traffic areas might need to be rebuilt or topped off to help manage mud in the coming months
• Move all medications, chemicals, and other liquids to a frost-proof area
• Give all barn areas a thorough cleaning
• Check over winter blankets and make any needed repairs or replacements
• Clean and store any sheets, flymasks, or tack that won’t be used
• Have your horse trailer serviced and park it out of the way

In conclusion, Kissimmee Valley Feed has a wonderful selection of horse hay, feeds and supplements to keep them at their best, no matter the season.
