How I Clean my Tack

[@bigbang4ever98]

Super informative. I knew about the cold hosing but but didn't know there were specific areas that help them cool down faster. Definitely will keep that in mind, even though I've been riding inside most the summer because it's been stupidly hot here, but at least we don't have much humidity bc 30 degrees is brutal enough without humidity (even though dry heat sucks too, it feels like a damn desert sometimes)

[@willoweventing2135]

You should do a morning barn routine

[@willoweventing2135]

Love seeing you and milo grow

[@brocky701]

Hi do you remember writing this 2 years ago lol 😂

[@lucasa1849]

I have an older horse who doesn’t exercise as much. But he really appreaciates a hosing down. Rolling after getting wet really helps him cool down and also keep him protected from flies.

[@matchingcolours55]

I also only ride my horse in the late afternoon in summer (In Australia) so about 6 or 7pm i ride and it’s a lot cooler then

[@willoweventing2135]

Love you Shelby

[@aino2927]

Gladly it's not that hot in summer here in Finland. It's usually about 70-85F if it's not windy, but there is almost always at least a little breeze and it helps alot :D

[@laurenkimball9098]

Thank you so much for making this video. Please don't stop! You are an amazing gift to the equine world😄❤

[@alexortizz]

Yess I love this video and the formula for when it’s to hot to work your horse is genius. I will definitely have to try it this summer. I had a question semi relating to this video, I have really hard keepers but I have been hearing that during the summer you should cut alfalfa out of your horses diet. Is this true and if so what other forage or hay can I use to keep weight on or since my horses are kept out in pasture just add a high fat supplement in there feed?

[@MsDailyGlitter]

Ugh I want the ice vibes so bad. But I splurged on a BOT mesh sheet. Those are next on my list..or whenever they have a deal

[@wintershock]

Usually on hot days at my barn, we open all the doors and don’t ride on the really hot days and ride when it’s cooler or in the evening.

[@racinsmart]

very informative! 💕

[@airyonajenkins8205]

I love this video. Love u

[@IvWicked]

It can get around 114 degrees where I live.

[@stellaequine2153]

Who tf disliked. I SAID WHO TF DISLIKED.

[@aoibhebarrett8888]

I live in Ireland and it's only about 18 degrees on a really hot day so is that too warm ?

[@kbequestrian128]

Almost Equine not at all! We get up to 40 degrees here in nz and have to wait until late evening or early morning to ride!

[@officiallex4928]

@@kbequestrian128 I get up to 98!!

[@kbequestrian128]

Lexi M I’m talking Celsius lol which is 104 Fahrenheit

[@wintershock]

Aoibhe Barrett nope that is actually pretty cool compared to the weather we get in the summer in Canada. It gets up to 40 here.

[@ponyprinsass9517]

Please do an exercise rider video

[@ponyprinsass9517]

I liked it in your comment but just letting you know :) Great video

[@equiivickie9021]

Great vid! Do you have a link for the ice boots please?

[@Milestone-Equestrian]

equiivickie I don't but if you google "ice vibe boots" there should be lots of retailers selling them

[@torzilla1234]

Capillaries, you're saying it wrong haha just so you know

[@Milestone-Equestrian]

Nope, I am not. There is a British pronunciation and an American one. Thanks for the concern, though. Even if I were, I really don't think it takes away from the info in the video whatsoever.

[@ellenohara2770]

I don't mean to hate, but when you talk you sound bored and monotonous. Just a bit of advice

[@Milestone-Equestrian]

I don't mean to hate but making fun of someones voice is hateful

[@ellenohara2770]

First of all Hi! I hope I didn't sound hateful or like I was making fun of your voice, I just thought I would put it out there as I find your videos (even though I love the content and you) hard to watch. It might make your videos a bit more exciting. I only meant for my comment to be constructive criticism.

[@Milestone-Equestrian]

@@ellenohara2770 it's just my voice.. especially when doing informational videos I think it's a bit silly to go over the top

[@Lpsgogo]

Definitely helpful considering Vegas is constantly over 112 F during the summer months. Thanks for this!!

[@pureequestrian5700]

Whoa!! Impressive. I would never be able to survive that, considering down here in New England I feel like I'm dying in 95 degrees.
