With the hot weather due this weekend please consider what measures you can apply to your routine to make your horses as comfortable as possible.
☀️ Provide shelter in paddocks or bring in through the hottest part of the day ☂️
☀️ Ensure a constant supply of fresh water is available 💧
☀️Encourage them to drink by putting apples or carrots in the water 🍎
☀️ Exercise them early morning or later in the evening 🏇
☀️Try and keep them comfortable from flies with a fly sheet and mask if they will allow 🐝
☀️Apply sun cream to pink skin! 🧴
☀️Be careful that hosepipe water can be hot at first, make sure it runs cool if you're wanting to hose them down 🚿

‼️Heatstroke is a serious condition that can occur if a horse is exercised in or exposed to very hot and humid conditions for prolonged periods of time‼️

It often goes in hand in hand with dehydration, and signs of heatstroke can include ⬇️

⚠️ Fast, shallow breathing
⚠️ Flaring of nostrils
⚠️ Irregular heartbeats
⚠️ Increased re**al temperature (above 38.5)
⚠️ Decreased appetite
⚠️ Muscle spasms
⚠️ Poor performance or recovery from exercise.

As this progresses, the horse will become severely ill and can show neurological signs, which can be dangerous to manage.

If you are concerned about heatstroke, contact your vet immediately 📞
