With summer comes heat, dust, and pests. While people can find reprieve indoors, it’s tougher for horses to escape the elements. Here are some of our top tips to beat the heat and keep your horse cool this summer! 

Encourage your horse to drink by providing a constant source of cool, clean water.

Direct airflow will help keep your horse comfortable and can alleviate pests and dust. Air movement provided by Big Ass Fans can make the air in your barn feel up to 10°F cooler!

Help prevent heat stress by working your horse in the cooler hours of the day, such as early in the morning or later in the evening.

Providing electrolytes can be a good way to replenish minerals lost through excessive sweating. Please consult with your veterinarian before adding electrolytes to your horse’s diet.

Make sure that your horse always has access to shady areas to offer relief from the midday sun and heat. 

Defeat extreme conditions this summer with Big Ass Fans. Whether you’re at the track, stable, riding arena, or your home or office, get exactly what you need where you need it with a variety of sizes and mounting options. 

TOBA members can save up to 25% off at Big Ass Fans!
