Keeping your horse cool

[@4275ge]

Absolutely LOVING your videos!! Wisconsin has been absolutely sweltering lately, so I’ve been giving my Ottb lots of baths! ❤️

Do you use anything for fly/mosquito control? Trying to stay away from the expensive chemical stuff if I can but not sure what might really work for turnout.

You and me sister. I'm a night owl so I feel that am pain but the heat definitely forces that hand. These videos are really fantastic. If no one else has said it yet thank you for helping to educate people who wouldn't really know any of this information otherwise! Btw I have been anti scrape since before it was cool. Lol honestly I just found it to encourage mine to roll and I always liked that 😁

Mine roll, whether or not we take the water off!

@@RacingwithGina only one of mine would the rest were too obsessed with picking grass lol. And I guess being married at the time to a nuclear engineer reinforced my not scraping habit with his sleep inducing speeches about thermoregulation (pretty important I guess in nuke energy lol) and "though the water was warm that just meant it was still doing its job" evaporative versus conductive.... blah blah blah.... We're divorced any wonder 🤔🤣

What is wrong withThe Grey Tess off hind hock? it looks enormous.

[@RacingwithGina]

Tess has a huge bursitis in that hock - she has a bad habit of kicking walls, the truck, anything within range. While it looks ugly, she's not bothered by it and it's mostly cosmetic. Fingers crossed it stays that way, but believe me, we are watching it closely!
