In horse terms, the phrase hot means that the particular horse is excitable and hyper. Some horses who get like this can become hard to control. Horses who generally get hot are mostly hunter/jumper breeds like warmbloods and thoroughbreds. There are a couple different ways it is used.
Check to see whether your horse is sweating more than usual. A horse should not sweat profusely when she is resting, unless it's extremely hot outside. Sweating is often a sign that the horse is running a fever, is fearful, or is in pain. 1  Note that horses lose electrolytes, such as sodium and chloride, in their sweat.. Examine your horse's coat and skin. A dull coat is a sign that the horse is either in poor condition, suffering from a lack of nutrition or not grooming herself properly. If this is the only symptom, it is likely not an emergency, but you would do well to mention it to the vet the next time you see him.
