Re: [RC] Rehydrating your horse's skin and coat - Kathy MayedaThat kind of makes sense because of all my horses, Beau sweats the most and he had the thickest skin. And when he sweats he smells like a pig. K.

He did not drink like we wished he would. One ride we weighed both Ben and Kaboot on the SERA scales, then went out and did a 17 mile loop. Kaboot drank great, Ben very little. When we got back and weighed them KABOOT had lost the most weight on that loop. Ben had very thin skin and a very obvious network of veins on the surface while Kaboot is thick skinned. I wonder if Ben sweated less because his veins were able to cool the blood and keep his core down. Kaboot had to sweat out a lot of fluid to cool himself.
