Protecting Horses in Transport: Super Therm Stops Summer Heat

Transporting horses during Texas summers presents serious safety challenges. Horse trailers can become dangerous ovens, putting valuable animals at risk of heat stress, dehydration, and even death during transport.

The Deadly Danger of Hot Horse Trailers

Horse trailers in direct sunlight can reach internal temperatures of 140°F or higher, creating life-threatening conditions:

  • Rapid onset of heat exhaustion in horses
  • Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance
  • Increased risk of colic and other health issues
  • Potential for heat stroke and death
  • Stress-related injuries from panic

Traditional Solutions Aren't Enough

While ventilation fans and windows help, they're often insufficient when trailer roofs and walls are absorbing massive amounts of solar energy. The trailer becomes a heat source that overwhelms cooling efforts.

Super Therm® Creates a Cooler Environment

Super Therm® ceramic coating transforms horse trailers into safer transport vehicles:

  • Roof surface temperatures reduced by 50°F or more
  • Interior temperatures reduced by 15-25°F
  • More effective ventilation due to lower heat load
  • Reduced stress on horses during transport
  • Better air quality inside the trailer

Professional Horse Haulers Choose Super Therm®

Professional horse transporters using Super Therm® report:

  • Safer transport conditions year-round
  • Reduced insurance claims related to heat stress
  • Happier, less stressed horses upon arrival
  • Competitive advantage in hot weather markets
  • Peace of mind during summer transport

Investment in Horse Safety

For horse owners and professional haulers, Super Therm® coating represents a critical investment in animal safety and welfare. The cost of coating is minimal compared to the value of the horses being protected.
