Good evening, Equi Stride Connect community!

Summer is right around the corner. As the days get hotter, equine safety is our top priority. High temperatures and humidity bring unique challenges for our horses. We want to ensure everyone is prepared to keep our equine partners safe, healthy, and comfortable.

Our Key Summer Safety Tips

• Hydration First: Horses need double the water in hot weather. Always provide clean, cool water.

• Electrolyte Balance: Heavy sweating drains vital minerals. Consider adding electrolytes to their feed.

• Smart Scheduling: Ride during the coolest parts of the day. Stick to early mornings or late evenings.

• Shade and Ventilation: Ensure pastures have shade. Keep barn fans running to move stagnant air.

• Sun Protection: Pink-skinned horses sunburn easily. Apply equine-safe sunscreen to noses and faces.

• Watch for Heat Stroke: Rapid breathing, lethargy, and excessive sweating are warning signs.

Let’s work together to make this a safe, fun, and healthy summer season for all of our riders and horses!

Best regards,

The Equi Stride Connect Team
