What Do Horses and Tennis Players Have in Common? Overheating Under Effort.

Have you ever noticed that tennis players, during the short breaks between games, often blow on the palm of their hand? It’s not a random gesture: they do it to cool down the area that rubs against the racket handle. When the skin overheats due to friction, the body sends a signal of discomfort, and the player looks for relief.

The same thing happens to horses. When we saddle them, we cover an area of the body that is naturally exposed—free to sweat and evaporate. During movement, the weight and friction of the saddle increase the local temperature, creating overheating.

The result? Discomfort, irritation, and stress for the animal—just as it would happen to us if we played with a hand that was always warm and sweaty.

But there’s one fundamental difference: in the case of horses, it was humans who introduced the saddle, and therefore created this type of discomfort. And for this very reason, with the same responsibility, we have the duty to find solutions that restore comfort and well-being to the animal.
