[RC] Horse Management in Excessive Heat - Beth LeggieriLike much of the other parts of the U.S., northeast Texas is in the grip of a major heatwave. Consecutive days above 100 degrees. Today it was 96 by 10 am; it's now just 2 pm and already 104. Night temperatures aren't going much below the low-mid 80s so the horses aren't getting a "cooling break" even during the night. Am interested in some discussion about horse management during heat waves (beyond the obvious--access to cool fresh water, free choice salt, shade). Change in feed protocol? Mandatory e-lyte supplementation to make up loss during excessive sweating? Change in amount of forage, which produces heat? Thanks! Beth Denton, TX
