[RC] Carolina Moonlight 60 (who left the heat on?) - rides2farIt's been so cool the past 3 days it's hard to remember how rugged our 2 weeks of high nineties to over 100 degrees was. I know it's been that hot many times here in North Carolina, but this time seemed really tough. It's darned near impossible to convey to people what it's like just by saying the temp. I was in Colorado a couple of weeks ago and the TV out there kept talking about the "heat wave" in the 90's. Heck, mornings you had to wear a sweatshirt, could wear a long sleeved T-shirt till noon. Might put on a tank top in the middle of the day but it was so windy I wasn't too uncomfortable the day I only had my long sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Never damp with sweat the entire week, guess it evaporates. Came back home to "upper 80's." Walked out at 8 AM and my shirt was soaked in just a few minutes. It's sticky, hot, still, steamy. If you let the horse get hot you can't get him cool again. We're using our windshield wipers in the evenings on the humidity! (not kidding) You guys who did Carolina and Summer Breeze have my admiration for your tenacity...but not for your judgement! :-) Angie who smells much worse in the south than I did out west :-P =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
