Winter paddocks are small, muddy, and often far from ideal – so what about turning your horse out on the snowy pasture instead?

In this episode of the Sanoanimal Podcast, we tackle one of the most frequently asked winter questions:
Can my horse go on pasture when there’s snow – or will it damage the grass and risk their health?

You’ll learn:
✔️ When snowy turnout can be beneficial – and when it becomes dangerous
✔️ Why ground conditions are key to protecting your pasture and your horse
✔️ What risks lie hidden under a layer of snow – including the threat of colic and laminitis
✔️ How to balance movement, stress relief, and safe grazing in winter
✔️ Why you should treat winter turnout like playtime, not grazing time

🎧 Tune in now and find out how to keep both your pasture and your horse safe and healthy this winter.
