Your horse doesnโt cool down by drying off - they cool by evaporation.
Scraping water off or trapping heat under a sweat rug undermines cooling and puts your horseโs health at risk. This isnโt opinion โ itโs basic thermoregulation.
Sweat scrapers and sweat rugs are outdated dogma. And yet, disappointingly, some large equine clinics are still promoting their use today.
In 34ยฐC heat, that advice is not just wrong โ itโs dangerous.
Follow the science. Choose vets who understand equine physiology, not just tradition.
