 I was wondering, do you think that the color of a horse makes a difference 
 when it comes to heat.  I mean, does a grey horse stay cooler than a black 
 horse (lets just say they are muscled exactly the same....this way, there is 
 only one variable).  I noticed that at Tevis (which I crewed for, didn't 
ride 
 in..) the top ten horses (there was a mule who finished 9th, I think) were 
 all chestnuts, or pretty close to chestnuts.  Is this just coincidence?

Lighter horses should be cooler--how much cooler I don't know--but my black 
dogs sure don't like the heat.
