With hot temperatures forecast for next few days please keep an eye out for signs of heat stroke in horses:

At our championship show there will be thermometers available at the secretary’s office. Buckingham Equine vets are on call.

For your information:

How Do I Know How Hot My Horse Is?

There are a number of reliable indicators that a horse is very hot.

* Excessive sweating - horse completely covered in sweat and/or sweat running from the body
* Horse feels very hot to touch
* Ataxia (unsteadiness) - especially when stopping after exercise
* Blowing very hard (deep and laboured breathing)
* Panting (fast and shallow breathing)
* A high re**al temperature - above 40°C (104°F)
* Prominent blood vessels in the skin
* Horse may show little reaction to people or environment
* Horse may appear distressed
