🌙 When it's hot, why do warm nights matter so much?

Horses rely on cooler overnight temperatures to dissipate the heat they've accumulated throughout the day. When nighttime temperatures remain above 70 degrees F, especially with high humidity, they receive little relief.

Less overnight cooling means horses may start the next day carrying residual heat, making additional work, travel, or sun/heat exposure more challenging.

How can you support your horse on warm nights?
💧 Provide free access to fresh, clean water.
🚿 Hose off horses with a continuous flow of cool water to help dissipate heat and lower their body temperature.
💨 Increase airflow around horses with livestock-safe fans.
🐴 Avoid working horses when they have not had enough time to rest and recover from the heat.
🌡️ Monitor horses for signs of heat stress.

When the nights stay hot, recovery matters just as much as avoiding the daytime heat.

It is quiet at Walk On and the Double K tonight.
Riding classes that have been going strong since mid April have come to an end for the summer.
Walk On Therapeutic Riding is taking a couple of weeks break to give to give the horses and volunteers a much needed break.
Each and every rider regardless if their riding abilities made great strides and major accomplishments throughout the summer. Not only were there improved riding skills that we see in the arena but inspirational results and improved life skills that occur at home because of the riding.
There are no trophies or ribbons hanging on the wall displaying these results but the stories and tears of success from the family members are ov er whelming and powerful.
Walk On will begin riding programs after Labor Day and continue to Thanksgiving.
Thank you to to the riders and their families, the volunteers, and of course the horses for making Walk On a outstanding service.
Can't wait to see and hear more stories.
