Join us as we dive into how horses handle hot weather and the internal changes they undergo when stressed by the heat. We answer critical questions about horse physiology in high temperatures. We'll explore why horses get hot, how they regulate their body temperature, and what happens when they can't. Other important topics discussed include:

• sources of heat stress, 
• natural cooling strategies, 
• signs of overheating and what to do, 
• how heat stress negatively impacts your horse's gut,
• inflammatory and immune response to heat stress,
• just how much electrolyte your horse is losing when he sweats,
• how exercise compounds heat stress,

This episode is crucial for understanding how heat negatively impacts your horse even when everything looks just fine.
