Healthy body temperature for adult horses is in the range between 37.5 and 38.5 °C (99.5 and 101.3 °F), which they can maintain while ambient temperatures are between 5 and 25 °C (41 and 77 °F). However, strenuous exercise increases core body temperature by 1 °C (1.8 °F)/minute, as 80% of the energy used by equine muscles is released as heat.
Obese American horse: fat deposits can be seen on the back, between the ribs and on the rump. The horse body mass is highly variable, depending on breed, model, physiological state, condition, owner's purpose and usage of the animal.

Warm-blooded is a term referring to animal species whose bodies maintain a temperature higher than that of their environment. In particular, homeothermic species (including birds and mammals) maintain a stable body temperature by regulating metabolic processes. Other species have various degrees of thermoregulation.

Cold-blooded is an informal term for one or more of a group of characteristics that determine an animal's thermophysiology.These include: Ectothermy, controlling body temperature through external processes, such as by basking in the sun

In reality, horses of all breeds are warm-blooded mammals and have the same body temperature. The notion of a "hot-blooded" horse is nevertheless taken up in later hippological writings, and remains in use today. Hot-blooded horses are saddle and sport animals, known for their liveliness, finesse, and emotional nature.
