Summer heat 🥵

Hi from Texas I need a bit of help if anyone has experience in this area Like I said I like in Texas where the Temps can stay at 110F 43C for months on end With my new barn build I thought it would be a great addition to add oscillating fans with misting capabilities for each horse Does anyone have anything like this where they board or in private stable ? If so How long do you run them per day Do you run them like for a few minutes each hour Do you run them only during the hottest part of the day What is the misting schedule like

Hi, currently living in Thailand, so its super hot as well. My barn has fans going for most of the day, and also has mist spraying onto the roof of the barn, which helps to cool down the barn without getting the horses wet constantly. The fans are going basically all day, but the roof misting is only used when the horses get really hot and does not have a specific schedule. Hope this helps:)

@Hannah48 I took heat into consideration when I built my barn The roof is white. I am thinking maybe time it like once an hour for 5 to 7 min the misting would be on a timer .
