Winter Care: Are You Tracking What Matters?

Hello Equestrian Enthusiasts,

This is Martin from Equus Note journaling app & Equilingo translation app.

Every Thursday, I send 3 short journaling tips for horse owners who want to document their equestrian journey.

Let's dive in? 🐴

Document Blanketing Decisions

Winter blanket choices aren't just about temperature. They're about knowing your horse's unique needs. Whether you choose to blanket or not - documenting your decision process is what matters.

Track these daily:

• Morning and evening temperatures

• Your horse's natural coat thickness

• Activity level and sweating patterns

• Signs of being too hot or cold

• Indoor vs outdoor time

Simple notes reveal patterns. Better patterns mean better blanket choices all winter long.

Monitor Your Horse's Winter Sleep

Sleep habits tell us more than you think. Especially during the colder months.

What to observe:

• Preferred sleeping times

• Duration of deep sleep

• Favorite resting spots

• Changes in sleeping position

• Signs of discomfort or restlessness

Good sleep means better performance. Your notes are the key to winter comfort.

Stable Info Basics: Who to Call When...

Emergency contacts aren't just phone numbers.
They're your action plan when minutes matter.

Your contact list needs:

• Clear call order (who's first, second, third)

• Each person's preferred contact method

• Best times to reach them

• Backup contacts for each role

• Specific scenarios for each contact

Don't wait for emergencies.
Make this information visible and clear at your horse's stall today.

That's it!

Thank you for reading my newsletter.
I hope it inspires you to document your equestrian journey next week.
