Best Ways To Prevent Horse Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion occurs when horses are performing in extreme heat, causing their body temperatures to rise. Heavy breathing, increased heart rate, and excess sweating are just a few signs of heat exhaustion. In extreme cases, dropping to the ground and muscle quivering can occur. In all cases, if the horse cannot lose some of the heat and regulate its body temperature, it can cause serious health concerns. These concerns can lead to respiratory and muscular system failure. To avoid these risks, these are the best ways to prevent horse heat exhaustion.
