Is it white and foamy between his legs or just under his tail?

Is it really hot where you are? Maybe he is just sweating from the heat.

Usually sweat at the bum is a good sign that your horse is using his hind end- BUT if it's from the heat and there's a lot of sweat, adding some electrolytes to your horse's daily routine would be a great idea. And, as always, 24 hour access to clean, fresh water.
