Barry and I went out to the barn this afternoon after 6:00 PM. Poor guy's nostrils were flairing - not bad but he was just standing there.
I put my hand up under his back leg between his leg and his sheath and he was pretty darn warm. I went over to Sarge and did the same...LOL he was a little offended that I got so personal with him! Red is used to me putting my hands all over him but Sarge not so much. Sarge had a huge sweat pattern on his back - Red didn't. Red's shoulder area was much warmer than Sarge's. In all - he is not handling the heat well.
I will have to put him in a stall for the summer. I just can't see in way around it. If they had electricity out there I could just put a fan up but there isn't. I am going to the barn first thing in the morning to pay for their board and to discuss options with Lee Anne. Sigh...poor boy.
