I have 2 horses and this summer has been mostly over 80 or 90 degrees. My question is, is it too hot to ride during these hot days (or just in the evenings) or is it best not to ride at all? My horse is not trained for any special events so it really dosen't matter if I cannot ride him.

Hello Appy,
It also depends on the humidity, the wind speed, and the condition of your horse. For more discussion on this see: The Horseman's Advisor: Care for Horses: General Care: Summertime, Caring for Your Horse in the Heat.
