Summer is definitely here! Unlike wild horses, our horses don\u2019t usually have access to\u00a0 streams and lakes to cool off in. Which is why it is up to us to provide our horses with\u00a0 shelters, and other ways for them to keep cool during the summer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is it important for your horse to stay cool anyway? A horses body temperature is normally between 99-101 degrees Fahrenheit, that means that most horses are experiencing the world at almost 11 degrees warmer than we are! Before factoring in humidity levels, and whether\u00a0 there is a shady spot available. Just imagine how miserable you would be if you had to wear a sweater outside on the hottest day of the year! With the temperature really starting to rise, I\u00a0 thought it was a good time to mention a few ideas to help your horse, and even you, stay cool in the summer heat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Barn<\/p>\n

Fans\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first option to help your horse stay cool during the summer is installing a fan in their stall.\u00a0 In warmer climate regions, it\u2019s common for horse owners to bring their horses into their stalls\u00a0 during the day, and turn them out at night when it\u2019s cooler. If you\u2019re in a cooler climate, and\u00a0 your barn has really good air flow, a fan may not be necessary, but if not your horse will\u00a0 certainly appreciate having a cool breeze in their stall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However not all fans are created equal. Did you know that there is a difference between a fan\u00a0 made specifically for residential use, and one specifically made for agricultural use? I didn\u2019t!\u00a0 At least not until I read about it on <\/span>Ramm Horse Fencing & Stalls <\/span>website while I was scouting out different fan units. Ramm\u2019s fans are specifically built for agricultural use, which makes\u00a0 them safer for use in the barn, and in the arena. Using a fan that is made for residential use\u00a0 can potentially increase the risk of an electrical fire due to the fact that they don\u2019t have a\u00a0 motor that is completely sealed from the elements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clipping\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Next on the list is a good haircut. Even if your horse doesn\u2019t compete, clipping your horse is\u00a0 another way to help them stay cooler in the summer. A shorter coat means that your horse is\u00a0 able to cool off faster after a riding session, as well as dry faster after a bath, helping to\u00a0 reduce the risk of your horse developing any type of skin issues. Clipping during the summer\u00a0 also helps certain horses with health issues like Cushing\u2019s Disease whose coats stay thicker\u00a0 all year round.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cool Baths\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This method of cooling off is one that both you, and your horse, can enjoy! During the cooler\u00a0 days I would wear a rain suit to stay dry whenever I had to give more than one horse a bath,\u00a0 but during the summer I was happy to be just as wet as the horses! I\u2019ve seen lesson barns\u00a0 switch things up on the days that it is too hot to ride by turning lesson days into bathing days.\u00a0 The kids still get hands on horse care experience, and everyone stays cool in the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Absorbine Cool Down Rinse\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>Absorbine Cool Down Rinse <\/span>is another option for bathing days if you are worried about\u00a0 frequent shampooing stripping the natural oils from your horses coat. The Absorbine Cool\u00a0 Down is a concentrate of essential oils that, once added to water, you can either sponge onto\u00a0 your horses body, or dispense into spray bottles to spot rinse sweaty areas after a ride. The\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

benefit of using the Absorbine Cool Down is that it doesn\u2019t need to be rinsed off, and it\u00a0 nourishes your horses coat rather than washing away the natural oils in their coat like a\u00a0 shampoo would. I haven\u2019t had the opportunity to try this product myself yet, but having used\u00a0 many Absorbine products in the past I can honestly say they haven\u2019t made a product that I\u00a0 don\u2019t like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cool Treats\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Everyone is always concerned that their horses aren\u2019t getting enough water during the\u00a0 summer. One way to help increase your horses water intake is to make some frozen treats.\u00a0 You can put pieces of carrots, apples, or whatever your horse likes into a cup of water and\u00a0 freeze them to make a horse sized popsicle. Once it\u2019s frozen you can either let your horse lick his way to the treat in a feed bucket, or you could add the frozen treat to their bucket of water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cool Toweling\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is another option I have used for myself on those really hot days! For your horse fill a\u00a0 bucket about halfway with ice and cool water, then take a small towel and soak it in the ice\u00a0 water. Be sure to really wring the towel out before you place it on your horse! We aren\u2019t trying\u00a0 to soak them, or put the poor horse into shock with freezing cold water! We just want the\u00a0 towel slightly damp, and cold enough to cool them off as we rub it over their body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These are just a few ideas to help our equine friends cool off on hot summer days. Leave us a comment, and tell us how you and your horse stay cool during the summer!<\/span><\/p>\n
