With summer temperatures holding steady, especially in those areas where the temperature has been hotter than usual, USRider® reminds equestrians to pay special attention to the health care needs of their horses.
USRider, the nationwide roadside assistance program for equestrians, provides emergency road service to its Members in all 48 states as well as Canada and Alaska.
