The New Mexico State Fair 2023 is rolling out the red carpet to invite fair attendees to the drama and spectacle of the fair . . . all fit for the big screen. We're pulling on the glitz and glam of Old Hollywood to remind you of the bright lights of the fair whether those come from the fun on the Midway, the spotlight of the concerts and rodeos, or the light within all the shining star New Mexicans who participate. We can't wait to see you September 7-17.

COOL SCIENCE (pun intended)!

An old myth wants us to believe that horses should be walked until they cool completely after exercise, even in the summer. However, a study from 2020 looked at five different ways to cool a horse after exercise: walking, walking with fans, walking with intermittent cold water application, walking with intermittent cold water application and scraping, and stationary with continuous tap water application. As it turns out, the method that resulted in the quickest return to normal body temperature was stationary with continuous tap water application (2 minutes), while walking alone took the longest time for recovery (25 minutes).

Bottom line: enjoy your rides in the sun this summer but remain vigilant for signs of heat stress in your horse. If they look tired, it’s time for a drink, a cool bath, and a break in the shade.
