Tired of mucking stalls 24/7?

As long as the weather's nice, close your horses out of their stalls during the day. And give them the in/out option at nighttime, rather then closing them in.

Winterize: Invest in coveralls. Pay attention to horse condition under all that coat. Give you and your horse extra treats and time.

Got a new Western saddle?
Run a broom through the stirrups when you're not using it to help the leather turn out nicely.

Pay it forward!(to yourself, that is):

- If you have daylight for barn chores in the morning, do all your evening set-up in the AM. That way, you're not mucking or trying to set out grain in the dark.
