Absolutely not. All other things being equal a dark horse will have to deal with a higher heat load. However, it is very seldom that all other things are equal. Personally, I would not have a gray horse.

What-evah…  I’m just sayin’ that, in my experience, you don’t want to pass up a chance to buy a nice dark-colored horse simply because you think a gray coat will help to dissipate heat better!  …And by the way, I now have a second dark bay, and he appears to do as well in the heat as the first one did!

P.S. – You’re definitely the most consistent responder out there… you must be working on your thesis in “Endurance Horse Studies.”  ;-))
