high humidity conditioning

["Tina Hicks" <tina@autoairbagcovers.com>]

I would add to Truman's post about riding in high humidity.....taking 
the water off is as important as putting it on - esp. at a check. Put a 
spongeful on, then scrape it off with the other hand or a scraper, put 
another sponge-full on. 

The water **really** heats up as it travels over the body - just put 
water on a hot horse and put your hand under his belly to feel the 
run-off - the temp difference in the water is amazing. 

So get the water on, let it do it's job and then get it off and put some 
fresh water on.
