Hot Weather Rules
for Riding
While the weather might be starting
to cool off, we are still likely to
experience a few scorching days.
With increased temperatures and
humidity comes an increased risk
of stressing our equine pals. It’s
sometimes difficult to decide if we
should brave the heat and head out,
or opt to relax in the shade. Here
are some pointers to help determine
if you should head out.
To determine a heat index total
for equines, use the following
directions: Temperature (ºF) +
relative humidity (%) – wind speed.
For example:
Temperature (ºF) = 79
Relative Humidity (%) = 58
Wind Speed (MPH) = 4.6
Total = 132.4
If the total number is less than
130: All go—horses can function to
cool themselves assuming adequate
hydration.
If the total number is 130 – 179:
Use caution—a horse’s cooling
mechanisms can only partially
function as intended. Some cooling
management procedures will need
to be performed.
If the total number is 180 or above:
Stop—a horse’s cooling systems
cannot and will not function
adequately. All cooling procedures
will need to be utilized.
Zydeco Farm

Gerlinde Beckers
on her purchase of the 3-year-old
Dutch Warmblood Gelding
Bienvenu ZSH
by Sir Sinclair
s
In short, if the temperature is 90
degrees or above and the humidity
is at 90% or above, it’s probably
best not to ride. If you must
ride, try to time your activities
to early or late in the day when
temperatures are not at their peak.
Make sure adequate cooling and
hydration are available for both you
and the horse.
Check with your veterinarian for
additional recommendations about
dealing with the heat in your area.

You have a Quarter Horse? Where’s

Did you step in something? Your

Should you still be riding at your

When can we come to ride?
You have to buy hay? Can’t they
just eat grass?
What, I shouldn’t wear flip-flops
out to your barn?
Do you have any clothes besides
jeans & horse T-shirts?
Why do you take lessons? I
thought you knew how to ride.
The baby horse is so cute - (when
referring to an aged PONY)
You should show that horse who’s
boss, then he’ll do what you want!
My teen is so lazy. I’ll send him/
her to your place-maybe you can
get him/her to work!
How many more times are you
going to let that horse throw you

Do horses really have a
