Heated and air conditioned barns aren’t a reality for most horse owners, but simply moving the air inside equine facilities can go a long way toward improving year-round comfort and air quality for both horse and human benefit.

Comfort in every season

During hot weather, getting the air moving is one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep horses, riders, and barn employees cool. Air movement across the skin speeds both evaporative and latent cooling, making people feel up to 10°F cooler.

Combined with mist, air movement can be harnessed to quickly decrease a working horse’s temperature. Thoroughly researched and utilized heavily at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga., misting fans have become a staple in cooling tents at hot-weather equestrian events worldwide
