Hey hotties, if you’re also feeling like you’ve been living in a Johnny Cash music video going down, down, down in a burning ring of fire, this is the episode for you. I dive into the week of hundred-degree heat we’ve been spit-roasting and caramelizing in down here in the southern United States, and the challenges of keeping horses cool in it. I also do you all the favor of explaining how I helped Azula realize that the water horse is in fact not a translucent, spitting, slithery worm demon out to end her, but instead, a worthy ally, dare I say, friend. And now she can’t get enough of it! That’s enough caption, for now, I do literally have to run to go check on the horses and hose off the hot ones! Thanks for listening!
Here are some articles about heat stress + helping horses stay cool during these brutal summer temperatures: “There was no cooling effect of scraping following rapid cold-water application,” he said, which indicates heat dissipation by conduction is greater than that of sweat evaporation. Specifically, the horses’ body temperatures dropped and continued to drop 10 seconds after water application alone. When the team scraped the water from the horses’ bodies, their temperatures increased immediately.” Hosing Hot Horses Post-Exercise: Scrape Off Water or Reapply?
