Winter Horse Care Handbook: Canega EquiPlus Releases Comprehensive Guide for South African Horse Owners

As we navigate through the winter season and brace for the coldest month of July, Canega EquiPlus takes the reins in ensuring the well-being of South African horses with the release of their latest comprehensive guide, "Winter Ready? The Essential Winter Horse Care Guide for South African Horse Owners."

Winter brings unique challenges to horse owners, particularly in regions like South Africa where the climate can fluctuate dramatically. Recognising the importance of proactive winter care, Canega EquiPlus has crafted a definitive resource to help horse owners navigate the colder months with confidence and expertise.\

From nutrition and grooming to shelter and emergency preparedness, the guide covers every aspect of winter horse care in meticulous detail. With chapters dedicated to assessing a horse's individual needs, understanding South African climate considerations, and providing practical advice on everything from hoof care to blanket selection, this handbook is a must-have for any horse owner managing through the winter chill.

A key component of winter care is ensuring horses receive the necessary nutritional support to maintain their health and energy levels. Canega EquiPlus supplements are designed to meet these additional nutritional needs, providing essential nutrients that might be lacking in winter forage.

"At Canega EquiPlus, we understand the profound bond between horse and owner, and we're committed to ensuring that bond remains strong, even in the coldest of seasons," says Stephen Geldenhuys, Marketing Manager Southern Oil. "Our Winter Preparation Handbook is more than just a guide – it's a testament to our dedication to equine welfare and our desire to empower horse owners with the knowledge and tools they need to keep their beloved companions happy and healthy all year round. Our supplements play a crucial role in this by providing the necessary nutrition that horses need during the winter months."
