Heat isn't the only summer concern to be aware of. When's the last time you thought about your horse's sun exposure? In this episode, we take a closer look at UV protection for horses, including which horses are most at risk and how sun exposure can affect skin, eyes, comfort, and even performance. We discuss practical management strategies, protective gear, and nutritional support that can help keep your horse protected throughout the summer season.
