Normal rectal temperature for the horse ranges between 99.5Â° and 101.5Â°F, with 100Â°F the average. Environmental temperature extremes, exercise, and excitement may change an individual horseâs body temperature slightly, but body temperature usually remains within the normal range during these conditions.bove-normal rectal temperatures in horses may Large animal veterinary thermometer with string and hair clip attached indicate disease, overheating, or colic. Extremely high temperatures can lead to convulsions or death. A below-normal rectal temperature may indicate shock, chilling, or a critically ill animal.
Full acclimatization takes about 21 days, but horses usually adapt to temperatures in 10-14 days. The wide range of the LCT in adult horses extends from 41Â° F (5Â° C) for horses in mild climates to 5Â° F (-15Â° C) in natural-coated/unclipped horses adapted to very cold temperatures.ody temperature of horses is influenced by the ambient temperature, wind, sunlight, precipitation, and relative humidity. The most common causes of cold stress that horse owners battle against are wind and precipitation (rain or melted snow).
