[RC] Farrier.... Heat and cooling in dry climates - Randy or Cheryl WinterAngie wrote: I'm worried about how to control the heat for the farrier. Thinking about bringing the horses into the living room. How about an Ez up tent with a fan... Can use the tent at events also... For people who live in dry climates, there are misting lines than can be hung up in covered run in sheds that emit a VERY fine mist that works like evaporative cooling. After coming off a river trip in the canyon land of Utah, we sat in an outdoor patio to have lunch. At first when the friends I was with said patio, I thought they were all crazy because it had to be 100 degrees. BUT when we sat down the management click on the little black emitting lines that put out a VERY fine mist over and around us, and the temp felt wonderful.... Since then I have noticed this in hardware stores in the outdoor garden and patio section where it can be rigged up for home use. Very slick, doesn't use much water and works great in dry climates. When Ran and I worked on a cutting horse ranch in the san Joaquin valley in California in the 80's the ranch we were on had something similar. The barn had a metal roof that had a small hose than ran along the length of the top that emitted a fine trickle of water onto the roof when it started getting hot. The water evaporation made it much cooler in the barn during the heat of the day.
