Bonfire Night Tips For Horses

by Eland Lodge 28 Oct 2022 0 Comments

Many animal owners find Bonfire night stressful due to the negative impact fireworks have on pets. Here are our top tips for managing horses around fireworks.

1. Keep to a routine

If your horse is usually stabled overnight, then continue this and bring them in as normal. Take anything unncessary out of their stables, such as grooming boxes or rugs hanging up so they can't injure themselves on these. 

If your horse is normally turned out, leave them in the field, if safe to do so, but ensure you have double-checked there are no holes in the ground or loose and dangerous fencing. If there isn't much grazing available, providing additional forage can keep them busy.

2. Protective boots on for turnout

4. Turn the radio on and leave lights on

Is your horse stabled? Playing some quiet, calm music and leaving lights on can help mask the sound and effect of fireworks and provide a more relaxing atmosphere. Do this a few days before Bonfire night so they're used to it.

5. Give a calming supplement

If keeping your horse in a routine and entertained isn't enough to keep your horse relaxed, you could give a calmer:

We hope everyone has a safe and stress-free Bonfire Night!
