[RC] cooling off dark horses - martha merriamWe clip big horses with dark coats that stay long in the summer. This seems to help alot. Also, sponging becomes really important with these horses. One thing I have been trying to figure out is if they should be encouraged to take deep long breaths or rapid shallow breaths. It seems like the latter may actually cool the core better if the respiration does not become inverted. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
