This means they can adjust to external temperature changes easier than humans. [Unnecessary rugging could compromise equine welfare, study finds]

Loch Moy Farm hosted their first Beginner Novice Three-Day Event last month, and Ella Lucas and Truthful Saint were the inaugural winners. Check out the recap and photos from USEA. [Memories Made in Maryland at MDHT’s First Classic Series Beginner Novice Three-Day]
