Re: [RC] Temperature Variance in Working Horses - Joe LongOn Sun, 7 Aug 2005 17:33:56 EDT, DVeritas@xxxxxxx wrote: ... So, has anyone a clue as to temperature in a resting horse (around 101) and a horse working on a hot day? When I was riding "up front" in hot and humid rides in the East, it wasn't unusual to arrive at vet checks with a temp of 104 - 105 degrees. I would not leave a vet check unless his temp was below 103 degrees. I considered an arrival temp over 105 degrees to be a "red flag" requiring immediate action to cool him down. I don't have any data for riding in low humidity. Has anyone come up with the means to measure (such as the HRM) temperature while working? I tried to find something like that when I was living in Alabama, and never did. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
