Horse Blanketing

Horses typically don’t need blankets unless it is consistently 10 degrees or lower and the horse does not have access to shelter.

A blanket inhibits the growth of the natural winter coat

A horse’s fur can keep them warm for the most part except when they get wet or are covered in mud. Blanket if it’s going to be cold and rainy or at least ensure shelter.

You can feel a horse’s ears or mouth to check if they are cold.

If a horse is sweating underneath the blanket or giving off steam, they’re too hot.

Oh No Bot Eggs!

Vinegar to destick them. I tried this personally. A spray bottle with straight white vinegar. Soaked the area. Rubbed vigorously with a wash cloth. It worked!

Hot water to destick them

Vaseline to smother them

Baby oil to smother them. May also prevent future ones from sticking.

Disposable razor to cut them off

Bot knife to cut them off

Sandpaper to scrap them off

Pumice stone to scrap them off

Whatever you do, make sure you remove them in an area that a horse won’t graze, otherwise they’ll still injest the eggs.

Also be sure to check under the jowl for flies.
