Did you know that it’s possible for horses like the Paint and other breeds to get a sunburn just by standing out in the sun all day? As with humans, horses can also be exposed to too much sun and get a sunburn or even skin cancers from the harmful rays. One way to combat the sun is to rotate your horse in and out of paddocks with shade or limit the horse’s time outdoors in the sun. Some horses are prone to sunburn because of their coat color as well as their underlying skin color. Horses with white or pink noses tend to burn easily as do horses that have white or pink socked legs and hooves. A good way to keep your horse’s chances of sunburn on the low side is to apply a baby sun tan lotion to your horse’s vulnerable areas. Ask your trustworthy veterinarian Marietta GA for a sun block recommendation.
