Walking out the door of the house today is like walking into an oven! Searing, almost burning, heat, the sort of intensity I remember from living in Scottsdale, Arizona (the desert). On days like this, the only horsing around anyone wants to do involves water! Most of the herd got their hose-down this morning, and are now snoozing under the pine trees up the hill, where they can catch a slight breeze (and keep an eye on the mares next door!) Want to do some horsing around on a hot, hot day? My advice is not to heat-stress your horse - play in water if you have it, hang together in the shade and sit in their horse-trough! And what a great time to watch some of my training DVDs with your favorite icy drink! (Try pineapple, canteloupe and fig juice for delicious health.)
