Safety During Fireworks

I put earplugs and flymasks on them and turn them out so they can get as far away as they can.

In addition to stall confinement, I oral dose 2cc of ace at sunset.

Our horses are used to gunfire, so fireworks no problem. In fact, they watch them!

As long as the fireworks are not colored, you're fine. I recommend black fireworks.

depends on how close. sometimes put them in barn, sometimes just bring them closer to the barn

7/6/2012 7:17:13 AM

We train w/noise, including firecrackers. My mare thinks fireworks are a signal for her to showoff!

Keep barn interior lights on during fireworks to reduce visual contrast through windows.

I am with my five horses continuously during the time fireworks are being set off by my neighbor.

7/5/2012 6:44:09 PM

turn a radio on louder than normal

7/5/2012 3:28:41 PM

7/5/2012 2:49:09 PM

I use an OTC sedative and feed hay

7/5/2012 11:11:07 AM

I turn on ALL the barn lights so no one shoots fireworks towards the barn until the fireworks stop.

After last year I considered locking them up but this year was quieter.

7/5/2012 8:24:08 AM

We bring them in a little earlier so we can enjoy the festivities, and to deter pranksters

7/4/2012 6:57:25 PM

They're used to gunshots year round, so fireworks don't bother them

7/4/2012 4:48:11 PM

Fireworks are at a distance, heard softly. You don't really mean "lock", do you?? Unsafe if fire!

7/4/2012 11:06:22 AM

Horses are in their stalls with windows, and they actually watch the fireworks

7/4/2012 9:24:14 AM

Don't shelter horses from loud noises. Experiencing life good and bad is key to keeping them sane.

7/4/2012 12:00:58 AM

They're on 100 acres, what and who i need to protect them from are teen boys tossing sheets of blk c

7/3/2012 10:01:03 PM

close them in from dusk til midnight

7/3/2012 9:40:50 PM

confined in stalls w/hay & radio

7/3/2012 8:30:32 PM

I put them up in the lots in a controlled environment.

7/3/2012 7:31:18 PM

Fireworks are illegal in Phoenix area, however my horse doesn't mind loud noises

7/3/2012 7:06:33 PM

He lives in a very "celebratory" area--he's used to them, thank goodness.

7/3/2012 6:37:55 PM

We are in the foothills of CA, no fireworks allowed.

7/3/2012 6:34:58 PM

My horses have seen so many firework displays that they stand beside me, watch and say AAAHHHH

7/3/2012 6:05:02 PM

I found that despite my concerns, the horses will just stand there and enjoy it!

7/3/2012 5:25:23 PM

Put he in our arena fire works lit off less than a mile away

7/3/2012 4:24:22 PM

The loud bangs on the adjacent property does not bother my horses at all.

7/3/2012 11:31:17 AM

They are in stalls with attached paddocks and safe fencing during periods of major firework activity

7/3/2012 10:41:33 AM

My concern is the idiots launching assorted rockets towards the herd.

7/3/2012 10:32:40 AM

ear plugs

7/3/2012 10:10:28 AM

Fireworks don't bother my horse, but they were banned due to burn risk this year in my area.
