Also, be sure the approach to and footing around watering holes are safe. During the
winter, for horses turned out on pasture, you may need to break the ice on a pond or stream

SAFEGUARDING NATURAL WATERS
When waste enters water, bacteria proliferate, the oxygen balance is disrupted, and native
residents of the water (including fish, aquatic plants, invertebrates, and amphibians) can
die. Whether you have a lake, pond, river, stream or creek, or ditches on your property,
manage them responsibly because all waters are connected.
