If your horse is shivering then you'll need to look at getting it a blanket. Your first instinct to fatten it up is also solid, especially if you think it's underweight.
But don't be afraid to take your horse out even if the temperature drops. Even when it's cold your horse will prefer to be out and about. If you're really concerned, just make sure he's ...

Goldfish are very hungry creatures. They will happily eat your low grade red cherry shrimp. When I was younger, and had no experience of keeping goldfish, my family put 10 beautiful Amano shrimp into a goldfish tank not knowing that goldfish would chow down on shrimp. The next day most of them were eaten. Shrimp are edible for goldfish, as evidenced by the ...
