Pony care in the snow

[HaffiesRock]

Is there anything special I need to do? We have had snow on the ground since Saturday now and it is snowing again now.

My pony is barefoot and out 24/7. I've been picking his feet daily when I check him, but other than that im leaving him be. I have put down an amount of straw so he has somewhere to stand off the snow, but he's just eating it... He has water and ad lib hay and seems fine.

Anything I'm missing?

Can snow cause any particular problems that I should look out for?

Thanks x

Decent rugs, plenty to eat, pick out feet and make sure they have access to water. We have had to break the water troughs twice daily.
