Hi:

Over the years many have stated on the Fourm and on the trail that their horses

don't sweat.

 

The statement was not intended to respond to anyone in response to their statements.

What am I missing?  Who said their horse isn't sweating, and/or that they're not
keeping him clean(?) and cooling him down with water?
