The transition between seasons brings longer days, better weather, and more daylight hours - all of which can mean more time spent with our lovely horses.

The feeling of emerging from the cold, dark days of winter into the fresh and vibrant atmosphere of spring is truly rejuvenating. The sight of new growth, the sounds of birds chirping, and the smell of blooming flowers all give us a sense of renewal and hope. For horse owners, springtime means a return to the joys of spending time outdoors with our equine companions.

Springtime also brings with it a set of considerations and responsibilities when it comes to caring for our horses. It's important to ensure that our horses are healthy and happy as they transition into the new season. Your Horse magazine offers some great tips on how to take care of your horse in spring, including checking for signs of laminitis, keeping an eye on weight management, and maintaining a regular grooming routine.

Before making any changes to your horse's care routine in preparation for spring, it's always a good idea to check with the British Horse Society (BHS) for their expert advice. The BHS is a trusted resource for horse owners, providing information on health, care, and welfare issues throughout the year. By staying informed and following the guidance of organisations like the BHS, we can ensure that our horses are well-equipped to thrive in the springtime and beyond.

So, as we bid farewell to winter and welcome the arrival of spring, let's enjoy spending time with our horses in the fresh air and sunshine. 

We've got our spring chores to get on with, starting with jet washing our stables and mats. What jobs do you like to get done to ensure that our horses are happy, healthy, and ready to make the most of the season ahead?
