Hot Horse? Here’s What to Do
About this episode
Dr. Nicole Rambo and Sarah discuss effective strategies for cooling horses in hot, humid weather.
Dr. Nicole Rambo and Sarah share research-backed strategies for cooling horses in hot, humid weather. They explain why continuous cold-water application over large muscle groups is the most effective method, why ice water is safe, and when sweat-scraping may help. They also discuss immediate access to drinking water, alternatives when hosing is unavailable, and how temperature, heart rate, and respiration can help determine when active cooling can stop.
