Summertime Riding of the HorseIntroduction
Experience with horses suggests that they are suited for the cooler, drier times of the year at least here in the middle latitudes. Horses in the middle of a hot, humid summer day are sluggish, sweaty and, in short, miserable. Ride a horse on a very hot day and you run the risk of making him ill. The problem boils down to an inability to get rid of excess heat during hot, humid days. The horse has trouble maintaining an ideal internal temperature at 100 when the outside temperature gets above 80 degrees, particularly when it is humid and you throw riding on top of a hot day. This article explains how to calculate the environmental heat stress and how to best deal with it.
