Driving in heat

[Marsha Cassada]

I do not use these supplements, but  find their newsletters very informative.  Here is one about working/trailering a horse in hot, humid weather. https://equinechallengesupplements.com/too-hot-to-ride-how-about-trailering/

Thanks for sharing! We have a heatwave this year in Europe, so I resigned to transport the horses if it's not necessary. We would like to go swimming with them anywhere, but I'm not sure if the transport is unreasonable. I think it's too risky at the moment. 

I train the horses as usual, but early in the mornings or lately. If it's not avoidable to drive in heat, I prefer to go into the woods and slow down.
