Winter is hard on a horse in ways you can't always see -- a sweaty coat that won't dry, hooves standing in mud, skin that stays damp under a blanket. This is our short list for getting them through it comfortable and healthy.

• Dry off faster. Fleece and wool coolers wick moisture after a ride or a cold-weather bath, so your horse isn't standing wet in a chilly barn.
• Protect the coat and shoulders. Fleece-lined slickers, shoulder guards, hoods and liners help prevent blanket rubs and add warmth when you need it.
• Get ahead of mud season. Thrush treatments, hoof boots and skin care for scratches and rain rot.
• Manage the winter coat. Clippers, blades and grooming tools for a long, dense coat.
• Support from the inside. Supplements that help hold weight and keep coats and hooves in good shape.
