How and where do horses get shelter?

Answer 1

Horses have a very good sense of smell. They can smell water several miles away. Once they have located water they memorize the route to get there. Older horses show youngsters and it continues for generations. Horses on or near beaches must have a source of fresh water inland. They can't survive on salt water.

Answer 2

In the wild horses can find shelter by going in caves, from trees that block the wind, or they can all huddle together for protection. They can get a very thick winter coat to protect them from the weather.

Domesticated, humans build field shelters or give horses rugs, and some keep their horses indoors in loose boxes during the worst of the weather.

Or. you can get a livestock shed or run in shelter for horses from a farm and ranch supply company.

Livestock shelters and run in sheds for horses are ideal for all breeds of livestock. Whether you're raising goats for meat (cabrito) , sheep for their wool, cattle for steaks and burgers, horses for the kentucky derby, donkeys for plowing, chickens for their eggs, alpacas for yard ornaments, than livestock sheds and run in shelters from originalshelters.com/ are your best option.
