16.01.2022 Heatstroke in horses As the warm weather hits, it’s time to start adjusting our routines to avoid the hottest parts of the day. Most Australian horseowners... are pretty aware of the dangers of exercising horses in the heat but it’s always good to have a reminder about the signs of heatstroke and a quick look at the best techniques for cooling a hot horse! Signs of heatstroke or hyperthermia are an elevated resting respiratory rate (over 30, normal is 8-16) and heart rate (over 80, normal is 28-40) and an elevated rectal temperature (normal is 37.5-38.5C). Lethargy, weakness and strange behaviour as well as profuse sweating and sometimes even a lack of sweating may also be seen. Left untreated hyperthermia can cause major organ shutdown and death! Obviously exercising in hot and humid conditions is the most likely cause but horses can also develop heatstroke at rest when shade is either not available or inadequately ventilated. Dry heat alone is not so concerning but the combination of heat coupled with high humidity, which inhibits the body’s ability to thermoregulate, is a real problem. Most studies consider hot conditions to be over 30C and high humidity is over 85%. Other risk factors for heatstroke are lack of conditioning to hot weather and anything that interferes with the horse’s ability to thermoregulate such as excess bodyweight. Simple measures such as riding early in the mornings, later in the evenings and staying in the shade are fairly obvious. Ensuring your horse is adequately muscled but not carrying extra condition will help and slowly increasing exercise intensity as the weather warms up will allow your horse to get used to the warmer conditions. Electrolyte supplementation is important as horses lose a lot of salt and other electrolytes in their sweat. These can be given in feed, mixed with water or in an oral dosing syringe. Always provide plain water as well when providing electrolytes in water. After exercise apply cool water to the whole horse, concentrating on large muscle masses and areas where major blood vessels run close to the skin, eg. the lower neck and inner thighs. Fans or misting systems are also very useful if available! If you think your horse may have heatstroke: - Stop exercise straight away and remove the saddle, saddle pad, blankets and boots. - Move to a shady and ideally breezy area - Hose the entire horse with cool water, scrape the water off and repeat. Scraping off is esssential as water left on the body surface can heat up and actually act as an insulator! - Offer cool water to drink - Call your vet if your horse does have heatstroke the earlier treatment is given, the better! Keep cool and happy riding! Image by Christel Sagniez from Pixabay
