Horses can overheat easily, especially horses that live in the hot, humid south.
This is because the humidity does not allow the horses to cool off by covered in sweat.
Many barns use fans or misting systems to combat the heat. While looking for a modern place to board my horse, I came across the barn that had air condition stalls. In fact, the entire place was air-conditioned. They even had an air-conditioned indoor location. I enjoy that idea. It’s hard to ride in the Summer when I am overheating in addition to so is my horse. It would be attractive to be able to ride in an location that has weather conditions control. I bet my horse would enjoy it too, but he would also legitimately be more relaxed in an air conditioned stall most of the day. I bet the a/c keeps most of the flies away too. I was legitimately happy about signing up for these boarding stables, until I discovered how much it would cost me to board my horse there every week. It would be more than I pay for my apartment! I can’t afford that? I left the weather conditions control boarding stables without signing the lease agreement. I am starting to think that maybe I should board my horse at an inoverpriced barn in addition to then install a window a/c component in the horse’s stall. This should keep him comfortable although I do not see a way to cool down an entire riding location. I guess we are just going to have to ride a little bit less in the summer. Oh well, that’s not new.
