The Last Ride provides important information regarding recognizing Signs of Sunburn in Your Horse
Many people fail to realize it, but it is possible for a horse to become sunburned under the hot Arizona sun. Just as with humans, lighter skin tones are more susceptible to burning than darker skin tones. For horses, the non-pigmented pink-skinned areas are typically the most at risk for burning. This includes the area around the eyes as well as on the muzzle of pale or white-faced horses. Certain breeds are also more susceptible to sunburn. These include:
- Paints
- Pintos
- Appaloosas
- Many Cremellos and other horses with pale coat colors
