Bit warm here today, I have lessons booked for clients early evening ( outside sand school, no shade. 30C forecast, then add 64% humidity) would you postpone your lesson?

It was 26C when I rode at 6.30am this morning and I came back and stood under the hose with the mare. :)
 
Yes, I think I would but then I'm a bit of a softy with my horses.

How long are the lessons and what type i.e. jumping, general schooling etc

Guessing your horses are pretty fit so a gentle half hour lesson shouldn't tax them but really wouldn't want to be doing 45 mins or an hour with them.
 
Yes. I wouldn't want to run around in those conditions so why should the horse, and with the added burden of tack and rider?
