We are expected to have a hot couple of days next week. Plan on maintaining hydration by allowing free access to fresh, clean water at all times. Providing a salt block can aid in triggering your horse's thirst response.

Your horse may need some assistance with cooling. For sweaty horses, cool water baths can help your horse dissipate heat faster. Don't skip the head, neck, and legs, as large blood vessels in these locations flush heat to the skin surface. Fans can be effective at increasing air circulation in the barn.

Check out our "Heat Tips" highlight on Instagram for more information. Call your veterinarian if you have concerns regarding your horse's water intake.

An adequate warmup can help increase the horse’s body temperature and progressively prepare the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems for work. However, high-intensity work during warm-ups may actually hinder performance. Riders, trainers, and veterinarians should collaborate to evaluate how different warm-ups affect your equine athlete. By experimenting and fine-tuning these routines, you can discover the most effective approach for optimal performance.

Polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG) can be clinically beneficial for managing joint disease in horses.

The most common example of this semisynthetic glycosaminoglycan (naturally used in the body as a lubricant for joints) is Adequan, the only FDA-approved intramuscular PSGAG product. It has a mode of action that helps treat degenerative joint disease in multiple ways:

- Reducing the swelling and inflammation associated with joint disease to improve lameness
- Restoring synovial lubrication that facilitates movement and reduces local inflammation
- Repairing cartilage and rapidly aiding in the production of new cartilage
- Reversing the disease process that leads to the loss of cartilage components by inhibiting harmful enzymes that attack cartilage and synovial fluid

Typically Adequan is administered as a series of injections, 1 dose every 4 days for 7 treatments.
