==========================================

That is not my understanding (how and from where would a surfactant get into a 
horse's sweat glands?). One reference that supports my point is from the 
University of Illinois' HorseNet in a paper by Debra J Hagstrom, MS to be found 
at
http://www.traill.uiuc.edu/horsenet/paperDisplay.cfm?Type=Both&ContentID=650
She says:

Unfit horses lose more electrolytes and protein through sweating than fit 
horses. Their sweat typically is very white, lathery, and sticky with a strong 
odor, whereas the sweat of well-conditioned horses is clean and clear, and more 
watery. This allows them to retain more essential electrolytes and proteins 
needed during exercise.>

Good stuff, Becky, but you'd better cite some papers that are contrary to 
please Ed. This is science, you know. No definitive 1-paper answers are 
allowed. Hopefully your paper is just a review paper and you will escape 
criticism.

Ed, what do you think? Could that foamy white sweat just as well be, um, some 
form of soap?
