Here are some bare minimum measures you should take:Keep clean water in limitless supply available 24/7.
Make sure plenty of shade from trees, shelters or run-insheds is available.
If a herd situation, observe carefully to make sure weaker,older or less-dominant horses are not being chased awayfrom water or shade.
If you provide free-choice salt, horses should be eatingat least 2 oz./day. Weigh your blocks or bricks every twoweeks to make sure. If they’re not consuming this muchsalt on their own, start adding it to their feed. If not feedinggrain regularly, make a small daily meal of soaked beetpulp or wheat bran with 2 tablespoons of salt added.
With really bad conditions, consider one of these:Bring the horses in during the hottest part of the day and
treat them to a hosing.Some horses really enjoy and will use a sprinkler system.Keep it outside your pasture/paddock fencing and set it
to spray into the pasture.Set up large fans in your run-in area. (Make sure cords
are safely out of reach of chewing, curious horses.)
QUICK COOLDOWNAn overheated horse, either from exercise or simple heat
exposure, needs aggressive cooling. It is simply not truethat you can’t use cold water on a hot horse. That’s a myth.In fact, such cooling may prevent a life-threateningcondition from developing.
Using cold water from a hose, run water over the horse’schest, the jugular grooves of his neck, and the lower legs.These areas have many superficial blood vessels that canbe rapidly cooled by the water and will carry the cooledblood to the interior of the horse.
Once the horse seems less distressed (breathing eases),progress to hosing the entire body. Continue the hosinguntil the water running off underneath the horse’s body feelscool. This means the water is no longer picking up largeamounts of heat from the surface of the skin.
The horse should then be slowly walked in a shaded area.Observe him carefully to make sure the respiratory(breathing) rate doesn’t climb again or that the horse begins

pickup trucks, 36 safari attendees, and 28 bales of hay, trekked north on Sunday, June 28th to
Tehachapi to visit and support the efforts of DianaPalmer and the Oak Creek Wild Horse herd. A SanBernadino Sheriff’s deputy parked his SUV and scannedthe convoy leaving Phelan probably wondering wherethis group of “protesters” was headed. Especially withone truck sporting a BLM bumper sticker. Over half of the attendees were there for the firsttime. 10 guests of members joined us in our 1 1/2 hrventure from Gray Stone Ranch in Phelan. The truckconvoy arrived on time to meet Diana at the Oak CreekCanyon gate. Another five miles drive up the canyonput us in the 200 acre meadow which is the summergrazing grounds for the herd.
Wayne’s story of our Oak CreekTrip to see the Morgan Horses!
The stallion Danty one of the leaders of the herds.

Thanks to Diana, Cindi,Becky, Evelyn, Ken & Lenafor sending all the amazingpictures to me.
Sorry if I missed your name, I don’tknow all these people and I didn’t getany captions with the pictures.
All but three of the herd of over 100 were in the“meadow” and we spread four bales out for each of thefamilies of all black mares foals, and stallions. Ourmembers and guests mingled with the herd, spotted twohours old foals, one born just as we arrived.
Special thanks to everyone who hauled, stacked, andassisted in putting our “hay donation” away for futureuse as the forage disappears. Likewise Ms Palmer tearedup as a $500 check was presented to her by RRTPresident Kimberlie Hall to help with medical andmanagement supplies used to maintain the herd. Dianagave a wide ranging question and answer session on thehistory and challenge of the herd.

RRT should be very proud of their efforts in placing,supporting, and educating members and guests of theneeds of this feral herd. 21 horses have been placed inthe last year. 6 thanks to the efforts of our club members.The goal is to bring the herd into balance with the 6000acres of gaze available. Diana feels the herd size isbetween 85 and 90 head, with a few mares yet to foal,the herd sits at 115 horses.
Looks like there is more then just passing interest bymembers of our visiting crew in a couple of the reallytame older foals that are ready to adopt. It’s hard to seethis herd and not wish to have one in your barn. There isa minimal adoption fee and proof of a good placementlocation. These horses see people often and have littlefear of people, trucks, and of course flakes of hay. Maresmostly allow their foals to be petted imprinting valuablepeople contacts.

We own three, my 12 year old trail horse Rodger andtwo yearlings, Captain and Sergeant. A very closematched pair. Diane and I have found these horses haveoutstanding teachable attitudes, sound feet and legs, andcalm demeanor. Diane and I have raised manydomestically bred horses. These horses are smart, quicklearners and have tremendous trail sense.
After leaving Oak Creek we met at the outsiderestaurant Papa’s for a wonderful lunch before heading our separate directions home.
Would like to get pictures from everyone to post inthe newsletter and on the web site. Please forward themto Diane Thorpe and Susan Zurawik or Facebook themto me. Came home with a renewed appreciation of thedifference one person can make with her hard work anddedication. Everyone had an amazing time!
A huge thank you from Diane and I for theclub members generous support to Oak Creek.

to sweat. If this happens, repeat the cooling process.Offer tepid water at frequent intervals throughout this
process. If the horse is very distressed at first, or breathing/panting heavily, he probably won’t drink. Keep trying.
Black/brown horses and overweight horses will have themost trouble regulating their body heat. Foals and older horsesmay also be less heat tolerant, and horses with Cushing’sdisease very often have trouble regulating their body heat.Watch these high-risk groups very carefully for signs ofextreme depression, weakness, drenching sweat or failure tosweat, and even panting. If these occur, go to “quick cool”.With sweltering heat, if someone isn’t around to observethe horses during the hottest part of the day, it may be bestto confine them to the barn or a small area you know hasadequate shade. Horses lowest in the pecking order shoulddefinitely be considered for special treatment.
PICNICSIt’s also normal for appetites to drop off during periods
of extreme heat. If this happens, don’t panic. Your horseswill start eating again when they feel more comfortable.
Because of its high water content, grass is the ideal food.If your horse doesn’t have enough grass available for it tobe his main food, try tempting him with carrots, celery,apples, watermelon, squash or salad greens added to a highmoisture mixture of soaked beet pulp and wheat bran.
Start with small meals if your horse isn’t used to thesefeeds. Adding about 1 teaspoon of salt per pound of themixture improves appeal and is a good way to get thatneeded salt into your horse.
SWEATINGSweating is the most important mechanism horses have
for eliminating excess body heat. It’s therefore importantto know if your horse is sweating normally.
As a rule, dark horses (like dark clothing) hold moreheat. They will sweat more easily and more profusely thanlight-colored horses. Overweight horses heat up faster thanslimmer ones because the layer of fat is an insulator,trapping body heat. They will sweat more and at lower airtemperatures and work levels.
Unfit horses usually sweat earlier, sweat more, and havemore frothy, sticky sweat than fit horses doing the samelevel of exercise. Horses just loafing in the field or barn inhot weather will often have a light layer of sweat, just likewe do when outside in the heat. You may or may not beable to see this, but you can usually feel it.
RRT Trail TalkContinued from page 1
Very young foals (first week or two of life) may notregulate their body temperatures very efficiently and shouldbe protected from extremes of heat by making sure theyhave adequate shelter from the sun.
Older horses, in particular horses with Cushing’s disease,also often have trouble regulating their temperature. Thismay be seen as excessive sweating and panting or exactlythe opposite, failure to sweat (anhidrosis) with panting anddistress. Horses moved from northern areas to the deepSouth may also develop anhidrosis. These conditions callfor aggressive and frequent cooling, including hosing andthe use of fans.
Admittedly this entire article (ABOVE) was taken fromthe internet.
And now a word from me: This year has beenquite a challenge and now the heat. Many rides have beencancelled or rescheduled, according to the times we areliving in. Our horses and our club require regular care andmaintenance even when it is hot or a pandemic is raging.
I hope the article regarding heat is helpful. I hope thatthe next few rides can go forward as presently scheduled. Ihope the status of a non profit makes sense - now - it maynot...I will have the draft docs available at the next meetingfor those that want to look over them.
It looks like we won’t be doing the RRT annual event inthe River bottom. However, the Pitzler’s have graciouslyoffered to allow a clinic “hosted by RRT” to take place ontheir Ranch in October. Gray Stone Ranch is allowing freedry camping during the clinic. Those who want to participate(limited to 10 riders - I will be one of the ten) need to budget$200.00 but if you find that simply “auditing” this clinic isfor you - the fee for audit only is negligible.
I think we all can agree (she said pointing at herself) thathorsemanship is an art that you never perfect - means alwaysroom for improvement. THINK ABOUT IT...
See as many of you as can come in Wild Horse at the nextcamp out. BTW - Diana Palmer was a great hostand educator in Oak Creek - with her feral horses.
THANK YOU ANNEMARIE FOR HOSTING OUR JULY MEETING...LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE YOU ALL THERE.THANK YOU ANNEMARIE FOR HOSTING OUR JULY MEETING...LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE YOU ALL THERE.
