🌟2023 Coona North West Equestrian Expo

A belated post (very!) but if there were 10days in a week I’d still be chasing tail🤦‍♀️

Georgia had a great week with Silverthorn Oaks Chandelier & Riverglen Black Magic at one of her favourite interschool events and represented Scone Grammar School.
The committee is absolutely exceptional at how they run this event with close to 700 competitors and being Australia’s largest high school interschool event!!

Georgia came Reserve Highest Pointscore the year before so naturally there was only one goal for this year!!
A lot of hard work paid off 🙏

Having to learn a novice freestyle, 2 x novice dressage tests, a Combined training dressage test & then her working horse patterns was definately no mean feat. No mistakes thankfully 😅 but hats off to all the kids that took on that challenge errors or non!!👏👏
A lot of tied, emotional teenagers by the end of the week…… & parents!!

Heat Stress in Horses

The hot, dry summer in Southern Australia and the tropical, humid heat in the northern areas can combine to increase the ambient heat in the air. This increase can reduce the ability of a horse to lose heat absorbed when out in the paddock grazing, in stables overnight, as well as that generated and accumulated during and after training exercise, and is likely to result in heat stress.

Horses naturally have a very efficient heat loss or cooling mechanism as part of their thermoregulation system. Only 2 species, humans and horses, sweat to lose heat. The efficiency of heat dissipation improves as a horse becomes fit during training as the thickness of the skin is reduced and the efficiency of sweat loss and transfer of heat from the lung surface is improved. Horses standing in the sun without shade or wind flow at temperatures above 33°C, start to accumulate heat in excess of that lost by sweating. They then start to store the heat in the 60 litres of hindgut fluid reserves, which acts as a ‘heat sink’. Studies have shown that a horse can store up to 1 million watts of heat energy in its hindgut ‘heat sink’, which it can dissipate by radiation, convection, exhaled respiratory air and sweating under cooler evening conditions.

Under hot, humid conditions, when the efficiency of sweating, which is the primary means of heat dissipation, is compromised horses can be subject to heat stress. Horses must rely on heat loss as air flows over the body, increased loss from the hindgut ‘heat sink’ reserves and blowing off heat or ‘panting’ to exchange heat from the highly vascular respiratory system. Horses under humid conditions often develop the ‘puffs’ or rapid, shallow breathing at rest, and ‘blow’ hard after exercise, as they attempt to control their muscle, blood and internal body core temperature. Horses in heavy condition or those with a thick hair coat retain more heat after exercise. Black horses are likely to absorb and retain more heat absorbed from the body surface, compared lighter coloured horses or those with thin hair coats.
