With a red extreme heat warning being issued for parts of England recently, World Horse Welfare are advising those who care for horses to take extra measures to ensure their horses are kept healthy and happy during these unusually high temperatures (which can occur anywhere, including Canada).

All horses will need constant access to clean water and shade and have good ventilation if stabled. If you have a horse or pony with a pink nose or heels, these need to be protected with sun cream or a full-face mask to prevent sunburn.
