Being an early bird can aggravate your allergies. Hardwoods make better firewood because they don't contain sap or pitch, which leads to creosote buildup in the chimney, he said. Hot fires can ignite the creosote, endangering your house. We like hot soup, hot coffee or hot chocolate when it's cold. But iced tea is in season in the summer.
Seasonal changes can affect our horse's diet, too.
In winter, hay is the staple feed for most horses. It's cheaper than grain and provides body heat to keep horses warm. Feed grain only if needed to balance the ration of horses while pasture isn't available or is limited. We aren't normally concerned about supplementing vitamin A to horses grazing good quality pasture. Vitamin A doesn't occur in nature, but a precursor, carotene, is found in natural feedstuffs, such as green pasture plants, good-quality hays and corn.
