Hi. As stated, the really bad winter weather is coming, starting tonight. We had rain and now the temps will go to -30below. I am going to stall my horses tonight. Usually they are out with shelter. My question/concern is all that water in their pasture is now turning to ice. Anyone have any good suggestions for me? I can assume this ice may last for quite a while if the temperatures stay winter-like. I picked up a big bag if salt and I'm going to put it down around their water etc. but it looks like there is no safe place for them to hang out in the pasture. Ice is something I fear because I know more than one person who lost a horse that split out on ice. Bonnie in WI - was it really a week ago that I had a nice long ride?
