HorseTalk posted a story this week about efforts underway to help horse owners in New Zealand adapt to changes in climate.  According to the story, “Changes in climate can bring the increased risk of diseases on riding and training, land management challenges from increased drought and floods, and a further limited food supply, so preparing so that our animals and pets are taken care of becomes increasingly important.”  In addition, changes in seasons can affect production of feed and pasture and affect the growth of pests.  You can read more at https://www.horsetalk.co.nz/2016/08/03/horse-owners-adapt-climate-change/#ixzz4GESkdJoi.
