Water remains as important for your horse in cold weather as it is in the summer. As a matter of fact, decreased water consumption in the winter is thought to be the primary inducing factor for impaction colic — although there are other predisposing factors such as poor hay quality, lack of exercise, internal parasites and dental problems.

Impaction colic is essentially constipation and most often includes the accumulation of hard, dry f***l material in the colon. The usual signs of impending impaction colic are depression, a decreased appetite, and decreased production and dryness of manure.

Studies demonstrate that you can increase your horse's winter water consumption if you provide access to heated water, but ONLY if that is the only source of water available. As always, if you have any questions about preventing colic in your horse, your equine veterinarian remains your best source of information!

: It seems Arabian horses possess certain nuances of style that appeal to different people. Dr. Howard Kale, Jr. was especially smitten with Russian Arabian horses and in 1976, he imported a large number of horses including the mares Nahodka and Nariadnaia, her son Nariadni, and the stallions Napitok and Pristan directly from Russia. This was an incredible achievement considering the political climate at that time. Later, in January 1978, Howard Kale imported the influential stallion Muscat - all these horses were from the Tersk Stud in Russia and all became extremely important sires and dams in America and made historic contributions to the breed. Today, their offspring can be found in the far reaches of the globe - thanks to the courage, commitment, and dedication of Howard Kale, Jr. - a legendary American breeder.
