In hot or humid conditions, they struggle to cool down effectively through sweating. To safely perform exercise in challenging environmental conditions, it is beneficial to assist the horse by active cooling. Cooling can also be provided prior to exercise (pre-cooling) to increase the margin for heat storage by decreasing pre-exercise core and skin temperatures. This study aimed to assess the impact of pre-cooling on heart rate, core and skin temperatures, sweat rate, and electrolyte loss in horses during exercise.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7800b74 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7800b74\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f94b75f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f94b75f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Methodology<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbe454d elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"cbe454d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-211a0d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"211a0d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ten international Warmblood eventing horses (CCI1*-CCI5* level) in full training underwent a moderate intensity canter training on two separate days (with two days in between) in July 2019 in the Netherlands.
