While heat doesn't usually increase calorie requirements, sweating can significantly increase the need for electrolytes, particularly salt, and for some working horses, potassium and other minerals. They explain how temperature, exercise, appetite, pasture intake, and insect pressure can influence body condition and performance. Practical tips include providing plenty of clean water, free-choice salt, appropriate electrolyte supplementation, and monitoring weight and condition throughout the summer.
