The Horse HealthCast by SmartEquine: Beat The Heat Full Collection
Beat the Heat Part Full Series
Summer riding season can be one of the most rewarding times of year, but it also presents some of the biggest health challenges for horses. From managing sweat loss and hydration to protecting against UV damage and making smart decisions about exercising in extreme heat, successful summer care requires more than simply reaching for the hose after a ride.
In this special collection of our Beat the Heat podcast series, we bring together four essential conversations covering anhidrosis and sweating, electrolyte balance, sun protection, and heat safety. Whether you're competing every weekend or simply enjoying trail rides, these practical, veterinarian-informed discussions will help you better understand how horses respond to hot weather and give you the tools to help keep your horse comfortable, healthy, and performing at their best all season long.
