A horse copes with cold far better than with humid heat; the score is for a fit adult in regular work.
The thirty-minute rule A horse that is still blowing hard thirty minutes after work was worked too hard for the day; a horse that stops sweating in the heat is an emergency. Hose, scrape, repeat, and call your vet. Old horses, fat ponies and anything with a heavy coat in spring feel the heat first.
