Important Summer Reminders:
☀️ Keep water accessible! On average, horses need at least 5 gallons of water per day for body maintenance. This can easily double or triple when they’re working hard in hot weather.
☀️ Stay weather-aware and seek out shade. Body temperatures can quickly rise above 104 degrees Fahrenheit when exercising in heat and humidity, particularly if sweat isn’t evaporating. Other risk factors for overheating include obesity or poor fitness, heavy muscling or a dark coat.
☀️ Horses with pink around their muzzles or eyes suffer from sunburn. Human sunscreen that does not contain para-aminobenzoic acid is generally safe for use on horses on small areas of the body. Long-term ultraviolet (UV) ray exposure can predispose horses with pink skin around their eyes to cancer. Consider UV-blocking flymasks for these animals.
