FW: FW: [RC] Teaching rearing - Mike Sherrell

We ride among irrigated fields and he drinks 3, 4, 5 times in a 6 or 7 hour ride. Actually, he seems a little more sluggish right after drinking.

He might be dehydrated.  That can sure make a horse sluggish and out of sorts.

Right now I'm trying to figure out when he gets sluggish 10 or 15 miles into a ride on a summer afternoon in the high 90s or more, if it's because he's hot, tired, or lazy -- i.e., how insistent I should be about speeding him back up. Sorting out the factors is complex, but I think cool weather will help give me the answer.
