Advanced Weather & Equine Safety Alerts
Protect white horse noses from sunburn, check horsefly forecasts, monitor sunrise/sunset daylight planning, and calculate heat index risks.
Horsey features advanced location-based weather safety alarms utilizing real-time astronomical and weather forecast metrics.
- Sunburn Protection (UV Index): Alerts stables to apply sunscreen to pink or white horse noses when the UV index is high (>= 6).
- Horseflies Activity Index: Predicts high horsefly presence on warm, humid, and windless days (Temp >= 20°C, wind < 12 km/h, and relative humidity >= 70%).
- Daylight Planner: Displays the exact regional Sunrise and Sunset hours to help organize turnouts and automatically coordinate stable lighting schedules.
- Heat Index Warnings: Calculates training and dehydration risks using equine safety guidelines (Fahrenheit temperature + relative humidity). Warnings show above 150, and training becomes hazardous above 180.
- Mud Alert (Mud Fever / Thrushes): Triggers when 3-day cumulative rainfall exceeds 10mm to remind stables to clean hooves and check pastern joints for mud fever.
- Frozen Arena Alert: Automatically flags potentially frozen riding arenas when the minimum temperature drops below 0°C alongside high relative humidity (>80%) or precipitation, saving stable owners a morning check in the cold.
