With temperatures set to rise this week, the welfare and wellbeing of our horses and ponies must remain our top priority.
Whether you're exercising at home, travelling to a show, or competing at an event, hot weather can place additional strain on our horses. Taking a few simple precautions can make a significant difference.
Please take a moment to read the guidance below from British Equestrian, covering hydration, travelling, exercising and cooling down in warmer conditions.
Every horse is different, and what is suitable for one may not be appropriate for another, so always use your judgement and seek veterinary advice if you have any concerns.
