Summer is just around the corner! 🌞🏇🌸⭐️
With the fluctuating spring/summer temperatures here in Alberta, keeping our horses properly hydrated can sometimes be a challenge!
Here are some things that we can do to avoid dehydration this summer:
-Ensure adequate access to shade and shelter from the sun 🌞
-Maintain good airflow and circulation inside barn areas 🏠
-Keep fresh water readily available in all pens, stalls, and fields 🚰
-Soak forage and wet feeds 🍜
-Flavour the water with a splash of apple juice, Gatorade, or molasses to encourage drinking 🧃
-Ensure good hydration prior to exercise rather than forcing high a volume of fluids post exercise 🏇
