How do you keep your horse cool when riding in hot weather?
I usually shorten my riding time, but are there other ways? :runninghorse2:

Really, really???Ride into a lake/river/dam/beach! I only have the 'poorest' of those options here, but it's been hot here & we 'mad dogs' go out into the forest in the mid-day sun, to go to our dog & horse friendly 'pool' - a brilliant huge, deep dam.
I'd advise never going haha at a crocodile either! I worked with a drover once who lost a cow to a big croc... In a dam miles from any river! When in the wet & the rivers are miles wide, its amazing how far they get, & get stuck in when the river goes... Back to being a river.as we would probably get eaten by crocodiles haha but we do swim in dams if we have them around!
