Mike, sorry I don't happen to have the papers on hand. They were presented to
us in vet school nearly 20 years ago, in a course taught by Warwick Bayly, and
they were most definitely about horses. I don't want to get into a big
argment about this, but I also know from personal experience that sweat of an
unconditioned horse tastes quite salty, and of a fit horse tastes not salty at
all. Not very scientific, but quite real, thank you.
