Is your feed room ready for winter?
There’s nothing worse than realizing you’re low on supplies when the snow starts flying. As the seasons change, so do your horse’s nutritional needs—especially when access to fresh forage declines and the cold sets in. That’s why our friends at Kentucky Performance Products are here with five smart tips to prep your feed room, hayloft, and supplement stash before winter hits.
✅ Declutter and organize your feed room so you’ve got space for everything you’ll need this season.
✅ Stockpile concentrates like pellets and sweet feed—just don’t forget to rotate your supply!
✅ Fill your hayloft with plenty of good-quality fiber to help horses generate heat and stay warm.
✅ Take inventory of your supplements and consider whether any changes are needed now that pasture is gone.
✅ Check the labels on your medications—some may freeze and lose effectiveness if left in a cold barn.
And don’t forget: Hay is not an adequate source of vitamin E.
Vitamin E is a crucial antioxidant that supports muscle, nerve, and immune function, especially when fresh grass is unavailable. Make sure your horse is getting enough this winter—ask your vet or explore trusted vitamin E supplements from Kentucky Performance Products, formulated with science and your horse’s well-being in mind.
