Q8: What are the hot weather conditions that can affect a horse?

Heat exhaustion is the primary condition that a horse must be safe-guarded against in hot weather, especially during combinations of high temperature and high humidity. This relates to the horse's ability to cool itself as well as stay hydrated and can be potentially fatal. Signs of heat exhaustion can include a weak, disoriented, or staggering gait, breathing problems, a high rectal temperature (over 40.5 C), muscle tremors, or even collapse or seizure.

Q9: What are the cold weather conditions that can affect a horse?

Horses are well-engineered for cold weather conditions. Having evolved on windswept mountain steppes millennia ago, they are good at maintaining their core body temperatures even when the exterior thermometer plunges well below freezing. Their coats provide excellent water repellency, and their guttural pouches, at the back of the throat, are thought to help warm cold air before it makes its way down to the delicate tissues of the lungs.

Do llamas have any problems in extreme weather conditions?

Frequently Asked Questions
Generally speaking, llamas do fine with any cold weather. They do need to be able to get into shelter in severe cold wind conditions or the tips of their ears can become frost bitten. And of course, baby llamas are more susceptible to the cold than the adults - we put little coats and neck warmers on ours! Hot, humid weather is more dangerous for llamas than the cold. When the weather is hot and/or humid, llamas should have access to shade and preferrably a fan to keep them from overheating.
