Member Posts: 5	I will be making my trip to youth worlds in georgia. I heard that the heat is tremendous down there. Any tips for making sure my horse is feeling his best?

OE and Oxygen both make a good one. Keep a close eye on his water intake. Know how much water he usually drinks at home, so you know if he's drinking less at the show.

Also the stalls are concrete floors so have a plan for that. I have heard that mixing rubbing alcohol with water and using as a spray helps keep horses cool. As for the barns the big ones are pretty well ventilated, they have the Big Ass Fans in them. But I would still bring your own fans as well.

I make sure mine have 2 full buckets of water at all times. Make sure he has a fan. I use the regular box fans and have since my first year at youth world in 2007 with no problems but to each his own.
