We are definitely into the dog days of summer! Keeping the horses comfortable in the heat and bugs can feel like a full time job! I have heard horse seasons described like this: mud (spring) flies (summer) heaven (fall) snow/ice (winter) That about sums it up for my climate! Its hot, humid and [...]
