Other warming foods 

Pumpkins:  Either cooked or fed raw, many horses will eat the rind as well as the meat. Additionally, pumpkin seeds are very beneficial because they provide the amino acid Arginine, which the body uses as a substrate for Nitric Oxide, the master circulatory molecule in the body.   

Tangerines are part of the lung yin supporting foods for persistant coughs. 

Apples help reduce lung dryness associated with dry skin, as well as itchiness. 

If you feed a wet feed, autumn is a good time to use warm, room-temperature, or hot water to mix with the feed.  Autumn is the time that the body needs both moisture and warming elements to balance the dryness of the season.
