Heatstroke in horses is a serious condition caused by a dangerously high body temperature, often occurring during hot and humid weather or strenuous activity. It's crucial to recognize the signs and take immediate action to cool the horse down and prevent it from becoming a life-threatening emergency.

Signs of Heatstroke:
High body temperature: Re**al temperature exceeding 105-107°F (40.5-41.5°C).

Rapid heart and respiratory rates: Heart rate at rest above 60 bpm and respiratory rate above 40 breaths per minute.

Hot, dry skin: The horse may stop sweating or have less sweating than expected.

Muscle weakness and tremors: May also exhibit stumbling or incoordination.

Dehydration: Signs may include tacky gums, sunken eyes, and lack of skin elasticity.

Loss of appetite and refusal to move: The horse may be reluctant to work or eat.

Anxious or irrational behavior: May also show signs of distress or agitation.
