Written by:  Dr. Nicole Rambo, Equine Nutritionist, Tribute® Equine Nutrition

Summer is a great time to ride, but it can also bring its own set of challenges. From mysterious skin "funk", crumbly hooves, fly stomping, and dehydration, there are plenty of little issues that can sneak up on horse owners this time of year.

In this week's podcast, we're sharing practical tips to help your horse stay healthy and comfortable through the dog days of summer. We'll cover:

• Why repeated wet-to-dry cycles can be harder on hooves than you might think.

• What causes common summer skin problems—and what you can do to help prevent them.

• Fly management ideas beyond just reaching for another bottle of spray.

• The hydration and respiratory reminders every horse owner should know this time of year.

Sometimes it's the small management changes—cleaning water tanks more often, picking feet daily, using a fan in the barn, or catching weight changes early—that have the biggest impact on your horse's health.

 Listen now for simple, research-backed tips to help your horse thrive through the rest of the summer.
