I was really concerned over the heat, humidity, bug impact on our tekes.  I must say that we are doing fine. The horses are stabeled at night with ceiling fans on, they spend the days outside, they do sweat a lot when the temperatures are above 92 F and the humidity is around 70-90%, but they seldom seek shade under the big oak trees in their pasture. 
We also feed the horses a lot of electrolytes to make them drink a lot. The bugs have not been such a big concern, horses are sprayed twice a week with a really good insect repellant and it seems to keep flies and mosquitos away. 
Our herd have now settled in properly and our horses as fat and happy as usual. I noticed a lot of stress during the first months here after the long trip from Sweden, the horses where very stressed and did not feel good about themselves, neither did I! It was a horrendous two months before I could see their old nice temperament come back again. 
The two-year-olds are filled with energy and will begin their training program in the middle of September when it cools down a little bit here. 
They have been under saddle and a little bit lounged and all of them really loves to work.
