Ahead of the hot weather our team have prepared some advice for clients….

🏠 If your horse is normally stabled at night and in the field in the day switch this round so that your horse goes out when it’s cooler and there are less flies. If your horse is stabled during the day ensure all windows are open to allow air circulation. Fans can also be used to increase air flow.

🌳 If you cannot stable your horse ensure some shade in the form of a shelter or trees is available for your horse to get out of the direct heat of the sun.

🔥 Horses that have pink skin ( white haired areas) are prone to burning so apply suncream (factor 50+) to exposed noses and legs.

😴 Either give your horse a few rest days over the next week or if they must be ridden do this early in the morning before it heats up.

💦 Always make sure clean fresh water is available in their field and stable. Check water troughs and buckets more frequently to make sure they are full and functioning.

🚿Your horse will appreciate a cold shower! Apply frequently and do not scrape off so that it can evaporate. Focus application on the neck, hindquarters and between the back legs.

🚛 If your horse needs to travel over the next few days plan to do this early in the morning before it gets hot or at night. Ensure all windows and roof vents are open. If embarking on a long journey stop more frequently to offer water.

🌾 Add plenty of water to feeds and offer smaller feeds more often. Electrolytes can also be added if they have been sweating. Wetting your horses hay will also increase water consumption.

🚨 If you think your horse is suffering from heat stroke contact us immediately. Signs of heat stress include:
-excessive sweating ( or not sweating at all)
-rapid breathing
-becoming dull or listless
-displaying manic or excitable behaviour
-staggering and kicking out
-re**al temperature >39 degrees
Apply copious amounts of water to the horse and contact us immediately.

“Ah, it’s all right, I’m going to the yard later,” you think, happily tucking into roast beef with all the trimmings, followed by apple crumble with (it would be rude not to) a generous dollop of custard on top. “I’ll work it all off doing the stables,” you think, as one chocolate bisc...
