I volunteered for radio communications at an endurance and limited distance 
ride this summer.  I am not an endurance rider, and I don't ride a 
horse.  I had morning duty at a vet check.  In the early morning, we had 
fog, and the weather was mild.  I noticed many riders sponging and 
electrolyting horses.  The horses didn't look very sweaty to me, and I 
believe this was the first vet check for both rides.  Is the sponging and 
electrolyting really necessary under these circumstances?
