Re: Sweating and high pulse

["Beth Gunn" <happyhoofprints@hotmail.com>]

Susan,
What "kind" of sweat? ie shaving cream or clear?  How long have you had him?
What is his training regime?  What are you feeding him?  Turn out time?  and
on what facilities?  and herd conditions?  leaving herd mates to train? etc.
I am working new youngsters and away from their "new herd"...not under
saddle yet, but knowledge is power!  and means long life for our endurance
buddies:)))
