There is nothing like the bond you make with your horse. The relationship is truly unique, built on a mutual respect and trust, and it can be heart-breaking when the signs of old age start to creep in. However, there’s no reason to get despondent just because your horse doesn’t quite have the same get-up-and-go that they used to.

So, to help you with transitioning your horse to outdoor living, we came up with the points below. They’ll mention important aspects of the transitioning process.
The way that you introduce your dog to your horse will determine whether they become good friends or mortal enemies.
