Mine have plenty of shade should they want it, but knowing them they'll graze out in full sunshine all day.
How awful. I was driving home one day in really hot weather and came across a broken down lorry. I stopped and offered to help hold the horses under some trees which is what we did, for what felt like an eternity but the lorry was unbearable for me to go in and get one off forget about stand in it for ages ?A horse died of heat stroke on a lorry at Somerford when the owner left it there on a baking hot day to ride another horse round the farm ride.
It happens.
Not a good way to go, either .
My dilemma for tomorrow (33C forecast here) is sweet itch rug on or off? He’s out 24/7 and there is plenty of natural shade. If he has his rug off he will rub himself raw, but if it’s on he’ll surely sweat buckets which can’t be any good either? WWYD?

He looks like he is very relaxed ??Hot weather management Ted style.
I clip mine out top to bottom which certainly helps the big black horses.

I hate it when they do that, it raises my blood pressure and gets heart racing!or dead until I zoomed in and saw his ears twitching !
