Re: RC: Black horses and Cow hocks in endurance horses

I wouldn't worry much about the color. In our experience black horses don't 
have more trouble recovering than greys of same body type & conditioning. 
While black absorbs heat, it also dissipates it faster.
I don't know about the cow hocked part.
