Sharing once more because if you live in an area like me we haven’t a seen less than 98 degrees in a few weeks now!!

Always a great reminder to watch our horses extra while riding in this heat!

Lastly, add plain white table salt to your horses feed daily, 1-2 tablespoons… that’s all, stay cool Texas

HEAT STRESS IN HORSES

With summer temperatures heating up across the Southwest, it’s important to pay close attention to how your horse is handling the heat. Heat stress can happen quickly especially with high humidity, intense exercise, hauling, or limited access to water and electrolytes.

A simple way to monitor risk is the Horse Heat Index:
-Temperature + Humidity = Risk Level
-130 or less → Low Risk
-131–150 → Medium Risk (allow extra breaks & cool down time)
-151–180 → High Risk (light work only)
-Over 180 → Dangerous conditions (consider giving your horse the day off)

Signs of heat stress can include:
• Increased breathing or heart rate
• Re**al temp above 103°F
• Heavy sweating or suddenly stopping sweating
• Lethargy or depression
• Reduced appetite or water intake
• Muscle cramping or signs of colic
• Dehydration or prolonged skin tenting

If your horse becomes overheated:
💧 Move them into shade immediately
💧 Offer fresh water + electrolytes
💧 Use cool water and fans to help lower body temperature
💧 Apply cold water to the neck, back, legs, and rump
💧 Contact your veterinarian if temperatures remain elevated

Hydration, electrolytes, and proper recovery are key to helping horses perform safely through the summer months.

Stay cool and stay proactive this summer! ☀️💙

I can't say enough good things about Bluebonnet Hydrate and Recover to support horses during the hotter months and travel!
