Re: [RC] Equipedic Phase Change - Ed & Wendy Hauser"...I guess you need to call the manufacturer to see how they did their testing...." I would if: 1. I felt I needed a pad. I use OF saddles with a wool blanket as a pad. This system has worked for 13 years for myself and Wendy. 2. I was considering purchasing one of their pads. or someone was paying me to make the time spent worthwhile. In fact, if paid or sufficiently interested I would: Look up heat production in horse literature. Instrument one of my horses and measure temperatures and amount of heat transferred with various pads, blankets and saddles. Note: when I say measure the amount of heat transferred I refer to calories not temperature. There are available instruments called heat flow meters that do this. It would be fun research, and relatively inexpensive. (say $10,000.00 total).
