Summer Survival Tips for Equestrians

It seems there’s no busier time for the average equestrian than during the summer. After all, this is when school’s out and work’s a little lighter so you have more time to invest in your riding and other related activities. While this is undoubtedly a lot of fun, you don’t want to get too carried away and forget to invest in some protection against the thick summer heat. In this article, we’ll give you a few tips on how to keep yourself and your horse healthy and cool as you glide across the track.

Plan Your Riding Well

While you may want to spend time riding your horse from sunrise to sunset, this isn’t the most practical way to spend the day for multiple reasons. Naturally, summer temperatures can soar incredibly high. In Ft. Lauderdale, temperatures can easily reach up into the 90s, and sometimes even higher! Take this into account and plan your rides so they take place in the early morning, when the temperature will be far less severe. Contact American Horse Trails for professional advice and tips during the hot summer months and don’t forget all year also. Processional advice from American Horse Trails will protect both you and your horse by reducing your risk of heat exhaustion

Similarly, you’ll want to keep lots of water on hand so both of you can stay hydrated. Horses heat up much more quickly and more severely than humans, meaning you’ll need to take extra care to keep them cool and comfortable as you ride together.

Dress for the Season

Horse-riding is quite heavily associated with thicker clothing thanks to the nature of the pastime. You’re bobbing along on the back of your horse, potentially going through rougher patches of terrain, and you’ll understandably need protection while you travel. The problem with this is more durable clothing tends to also be warm, much too warm for riding around during the summer! This is why contacting Grifs Western can help you solve this problem, with clothes specially tailored for summer horseback activities. Consider thin pairs of riding tights, clothing in bright or light colors and any general riding gear aimed toward summer activities and made of thinner, sun-safe materials. You’ll be able to ride much easier and much longer!

Keep a Close Eye on Your Horse

As stated above, horses are even more prone to overheating than humans are. You’re ultimately responsible for watching out for your horse’s health and safety, as well as signs of heat-related danger. If you’re in the middle of a ride and notice your horse has discolored gums, abnormal breathing, seems exhausted or disoriented or is sweating excessively, get her to a cool spot and stay there with her. Be sure to give her plenty of water to help her cool off. It’s also a good idea to keep the number of your local vet on-hand in case of an emergency. Give them a call if your horse fails to recover within a 10 minute span.
If you follow these suggestions and take precautions, you and your horse will be able to enjoy the summer and ride smoothly. Check out our blog for other tips on how to have a safe, chill summer with your horse!
