Be Prepared: Seasonal Weather Changes and the Risk of Colic in Horses
As the seasons begin to shift, so do the environmental factors that can greatly impact your horse’s health and comfort. One of the most common – and serious – issues that arises during times of changing weather is colic. Whether it's the sudden drop in temperature, fluctuating barometric pressure, or inconsistent access to fresh forage and water, the transition between seasons can be hard on your horse’s digestive system.
Changes in routine, hydration, and feeding can disrupt gut motility, increasing the risk of gas buildup or impaction. Even seemingly minor shifts in weather patterns can create the perfect storm for gastrointestinal upset.
That’s why it’s critical to be proactive — and prepared.
