Hi all,
My horse is black and hates the heat in summer.. i do bring him in out of the sun during the day but when it is warm, whether he is in or out he is sweating before i even get the tack on. He has a normal summer coat not overly thick, i have tried clipping him which does help a bit but he still sweats. He can go a bit lethargic when ridden when he is hot which im certain must be the sweating taking it out of him, (hes had blood tests etc so i know he is well) i ride him in the evenings or early in the morning when its cooler to help although in competition this isn't always possible obviously. I have been giving him the science supplements complete electrolytes as they are apparently kind to the tummy as i have been told normal salt added into the diet can cause ulcers. I just really wanted to see what electrolytes other people use and if anyone has a similar situation and any tips on how to keep him as hydrated as possible and make sure he isn't lacking in the summer months.
Thanks in advance!
