Location: Durango CO | There is not much we can do haha. I have a cpl injured horses in stalls with fans and fly gear. The others are turned out with as much fresh water as I can get them and fly gear. I feed them more than usual in the heat so they have somethign to do and make them drink more. If it gets really hot I try to spray them all with the hose. I will either ride early or after 8. Here in Colorado where I am I have been in 100+ degrees for 3 weeks now. |

Location: Kansas | We've been lucky here in eastern Kansas and have had a breeze most of the time this month. My horses have actually chosen to stand out of the shade a lot because they catch a breeze in certain spots. At my parents' place, they have a barn they can stand in, and numerous shady spots in the pasture. They have automatic water and a pond in their pasture. At Matt's place - we were there from July 1-10 - they have a couple ponds and two water tubs in the pasture, plus about 20 acres of grass & trees to wander through. We sprayed them off almost every day and I put fly boots & masks on if the flies were really bad. Streak wore a fly sheet for a couple days because the bugs were eating him up and causing welts all over his body. |

Location: Deep South | It is so hot here that even just standing out in the pasture in the shade the horses are sweating.
So mine are in the barn under fans until dark. Plenty of fresh water. |

| Our heat index and humidity has been ridiculous. Mine are in runs. They can stand outside in the shade or come in and have fans. Plenty of water, grass hay and keeping runs/stalls clean as to not attract pesky flies. I have one mare with allergies/asthma; she gets nebulized 3-4x per week, the humidity bothers her. |

| I am feeding a supplement that is really helping my horse that sweats excessively every summer. They have shade, fresh water and I put hay in the run ins to encourage them to stay on the shade as long as possible. They get loose salt too. BioStar's Cool Star EQ has been a huge difference for him. I didn't ride him in the summer because he would sweat so much and was really grumpy. He was miserable. This year I am riding him and he is in a good mood while his sweating is now normal. I don't even have to feed it every day now. I feed it when there won't be any breeze and it gets over the mid 90's with high humidity. So right now I feed it probably 5/6 days but in August I will probably feed it every day. |

| The humidity on top of the heat is rediculous here in Louisiana. We ride early in the mornings or late in the evenings. Make sure they have plenty of water, get fly spray and mineral licks. To be honest I dont ride as much when its scortching like this.
What are some of your favorite stall fans/barn fans?

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | Ive been putting a cup of water in feed and soaking hay to make sure they are getting water. I have one that is not the greatest drinker so he always worries me when its hot like this. I noticed he drinks more when i filter his water from the horse hydrator so ive been making sure he gets that. Also have been spraying their stalls down a bit with water and its actually been bringing the temp down a ton. while also being in front of their fans and getting hosed off. Its so humid up here ih Ohio so we havent really been riding much /: |

I keep an old Chicken house fan mounted in the roof of my barn. THe horses stand underneath it and it blows the flies off their backs.
Aquatred is a great alternative to working your horse out in the summer. 15min equals about 1 hour of trotting and loping your horse in the arena. It's quick, no one gets dehydrated, and it only takes 15min.
Also, I added salt bricks to their stalls, and electrolyes WITHOUT SUGAR in any form, to their water.

| I soak my feed and also the alfalfa cubes (not the Omnis cubes) and make sure I have enough water buckets with fresh water, hose down the barn as it also cuts down on the dust. But my mare is still a grouch. Not sure what I can do for her. Any suggestions? |

I like the Maxx Air fans...come in many sizes and are metal. They have a big yellow drum fan...it moves some serious air.
I try not to use box fans...too many fire stories with those plastic traps. |

| The horses are basically living like vampires. The only time they're turned out is at night. During the heat of the day, they're in the barn with fans. The flies get so bad in the pasture & the horses just end up running. The only time you can sneak in a ride is early morning. On a positive note, I sure have been getting a nice workout cleaning a dozen stalls every day! |

| I don't deal very well. XD
I will either ride early in the AM or late in the PM.
They have automatic water and shade.
Plus shoofly boots and fly masks if needed.
But again... I don't deal. I just wait for the weather to improve.  |

Sean's youngest horse gets in Chandler's fish ponds when he really wants to cool down! We're running around 105 heat index with usually at least 90% humidity, so not riding at all. . . .

Greatly limit grain in the diet. The process of digesting high starch inclusions in the diet generates a lot of internal body heat. This is a significant extra stress in extreme heat conditions.
Since when?
Since always.
Excess starch that passes through the small intestine undigested by enzymatic activity will create a higher degree of fermentation in the hind gut than normally occurs on horses that properly digest the dietary starch from more limited concentrates higher in the system. Here is the definition of fermentation.
"Fermentation (noun)
The chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat. "
When large amounts of excess starches effect hind gut function by generating additional internal body heat, that heat involved becomes particularly important when combined with other stress factors generated by high environmental heat.
I wrote an article about this before the Atlanta Olympic Games because of the high heat and humidity in combination with high grain diets used on some eventing horses. Reducing excess internally generated body heat in this situation allows a horse to better manage extreme external heat exposure more efficiently.
(as an edit to this post) I am not saying that there can be no grain whatsoever involved in the diet. Just saying that more grain than can be broken down enzymatically in the small intestine can contribute to significantly higher internally generated body heat, and that this becomes a much bigger factor when external heat is extreme.

Location: West Texas | It is typically understood that grain has about half of the metabolic heating factor of forage, hence why hay is the best source of heat for horses in cold conditions. I have never seen any research to the above claim so I am not disputing it by any means. However, certainly to a point, adding grain and reducing hay in a very hot environment would have a cooling effect, when the starting point is no grain and all forage. I have looked for any article or research on whether, at some point, the reverse becomes true as grains are added, and have found none. I would find any research to this interesting. Either way, excess grain is still a negative idea, although it is debatable what level of grain, and which grain particularly, is considered excess and negative. A lot of differing opinions across the board there. |

Location: Willows, CA | We get to disagree on this. I would never remove roughage, the natural source of equine nutrition, and replace any of that with grain to generate lower internally generated heat from digestion in hot weather. I always leave hay and pasture as the base of the diet. The level of fermentation of that is normal for the horse. My point was to eliminate additional heat from ADDITIONAL fermentation generated by more grain based starch than can be processed higher in the system. There can be a benefit to replacing grain with a higher fat source at levels that are broken down before the hind gut. There is some good research on this. If you replace roughage with high grain rations in extreme heat conditions, let me know how that works out for you. |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | Bumping this post because I have a related question to the heat:
Back Story: The past week my gelding has been refusing to eat. He stands in the shade and sweats. Refuses to be stalled. Gets ancy and stressed when stalled and paces or weaves so he won't stand under his big stall fan he normally loves. I have him on Zesterra (Equisure) and have upped his dosage. He has been on Zesterra Maint. Dose since before summer started and I upped his doses when I knew it would be hot. I have Electrolyte paste (without sugars per label) and have been shooting salt water down him to get him to drink. He is steadily losing weight and will not eat his free choice hay or hay cubes. He is not on processed feeds and his feed schedule has not changed in over a year. (5am first feeding. 5PM second feeding. Turn out all day with free choice hay/low quality grass field stall access and chicken house fan mounted to roof of barn pointed at stall.)
Question: What else can I do to make him eat/comfortable/less stressed?

My gelding was acting this way when we got our first 100 degree high humidity days. He walked away from his alfalfa cubes and wasn't interested in his hay. He was grumpy and his eyes told me he was miserable already. I have no electricity to his run in shed, so I can't put fans on him. He was drinking good, though. This horse has acted this way every summer from late July to early September for the last 4 or 5 years. This year it started in May. I contacted a lady who has whole food supplements. She felt like one of hers would help. It DID! Better yet, after feeding it for once a day for 2 weeks, I can now feed it every other day or so and it still works. He is eating good and he is NOT sweating profusely and he is happy again. I also started feeding in the evening at 7 because it is still in the high 90's at 5 in the evening. |

Location: Arizona | It's miserable..120 degree weather is the worse and now we have the Monsoon season which brings in the high humidity..ugh. I usually don't ride in the summer, it's just too hot. Our temperatures don't cool down at night either, it still stays way above 100. My horses are in their stalls during the day with fans and misters and turned out for a few hours at night to graze....hurry up fall!! |
