Hot weather exercise guide for horses ☀️
We often see posts regarding dogs struggling in the heat but horses do too, especially during exercise, travelling or standing in direct sunlight. High temperatures and humidity can increase the risk of dehydration, heat stress and heatstroke.
Under 20°C
Suitable for normal exercise with sensible management and plenty of fresh water.
20–25°C
Reduce intensity or duration where needed and include regular walk breaks.
25–30°C
Avoid strenuous work. Keep sessions short and light, ideally early morning or later in the evening.
Over 30°C
Avoid ridden exercise where possible and focus on keeping your horse cool and hydrated.
Cooling tip:
Research by Dr Joe Pagan and the team at Kentucky Equine Research found that continuous application of cold water is the most effective way to cool horses down. There’s no need to scrape the water off between applications so keep the cold water flowing to help reduce body temperature as efficiently as possible.

Penllech Concorde
2 Year old, Black Section A C**t by Dolderwydd Mascot. To make around 12.2hh, lovely little pony with symmetrical markings and naturally flashy paces, he will excel in the show ring or equally make a brilliant kids pony. He has a great temperament and is happy to live in or out. He travels well and happily picks up all 4 feet. Good to lead, had a rug on etc.. He is still a c**t as his 🎾 haven’t dropped yet, so please don’t ask if I can geld him… He would however make a lovely little stallion in time! This is heartbreaking as I simply just don’t have enough time for him, he deserves the best and won’t just go to anyone!
Based in Knutsford, Cheshire.
Mid 3 Figs.

14.1hh 21 year old mare, do not let her age put you off as she still has loads of life left in her! Complete allrounder/schoolmistress has taken part in loads of activities such as camps, XC and SJ. Perfect confidence giver and is a saint to hack out and in open fields! Opportunity for the right person to take part in pony club/ fun rides/competitions just have fun, transport is available on the yard. She would suit a small teenager. Based on a small private yard in Rode Heath.
Ex polo pony, unfortunately she does have one eye due to an old polo injury which doesn’t affect her in any way, you just need to be aware of it!

Our brilliant farrier Julian Welsh fitted these shoes earlier on today to our 6 year old TB who really struggles with his thin soles and low heels, he’s prone to hoof abscesses and bruising on his soles, he seems to be much more comfortable already, fingers crossed this works for him🤞🏼
