One thing you can use is a temperature sensitive
strip used for kids. Placed on the forehead or underarm it gives a
reading. Can be found at most pharmacy stores.
You can put it under the front of the saddle
pad. I found you had to be very quick to read it when pullled away from
the horse, it changed quickly.
I
was just re-reading the article by Nancy S. Loving called "Conditioning
Principles: Kaying the Foundation" - it comes in the 'new AERC member' kit.
She recommends using a thermistor (temperature monitor) to assess body
temperature when doing fast or lengthy work. Anyone have more information on
this? I did a quick search on the internet and did not find a whole lot. Where
would one find a thermistor and are they very expensive?
