Editor’s Note W ith still so much to do and the year having passed us by in the blink of an eye, it doesn’t seem right to be busy with the winter magazines just yet. However, as the year does start to draw to a close, and the winter nights fast approach I can’t help but feel excited about tucking up our horses once again at the end of every day knowing we’ve done our best to keep them happy, warm and safe. Now, some of you may stable all year round. When competing it’s fair to say most horses have to be kept in for one reason or another. On the other hand, owners may lack grazing, or perhaps an illness prevents the summer 24 hour turnout. Even in these instances, however, stabling hours will still increase over the months to come. Which turns our attention to several topics; clothing, feeding and essential items. This month we’ve included a selection of articles, features and items we hope are of interest, but above all, helpful. Our two monthly health features look at worming, not just for winter but all year around. Then our second piece revisits colic, focusing on key areas relating to the problem; symptoms, different types of colic and the role the vet plays. There are some ideas on how to keep warm this month, whereas next month we focus on the horse’s winter wardrobe. Layering continues to play a big part in our bid to stay warm, so we’ve kept this in mind when adding in items we think you may like. EDITOR’S PICKS Get ready for winter on page 18 EVERYTHING HORSE MAGAZINE, OCTOBER 2018 EDITOR’S PICKS Often, horses can get a little unsettled due to the change in climate, lack of daylight hours and spending longer stood in. It’s at this point frustration can creep in leading to accidents. Our first aid feature this month looks at essential items of kit, a selection of must haves and a testimonial. Take a look at our ‘feeding for condition’ feature on page 32. There are some great events still to come for 2018. Your Horse Live is always one for shopping enthusiasts who enjoy demonstrations over ridden competition. This is held each year in Warwickshire during November. Two of our favourite international shows also take place in December. London Olympia International Horse Show and Liverpool International Horse Show both tick boxes for top class competition, entertainment, shopping and opportunity to soak up even more fabulous festive spirit.
