Winter storms, extreme cold and power outages can happen with little warning. As a horse owner, being prepared can help you respond quickly and protect your horses when an emergency occurs.
An emergency or disaster can place tremendous strain on both animals and the people caring for them. Planning ahead can reduce stress, help you manage unexpected challenges and safeguard your horses’ welfare.
Take the time now to make a plan. Consider how you will provide food, water, shelter and care if normal services are disrupted, and make arrangements for your horses if you need to evacuate or cannot access your property.
