Re: RC: hot/humid weather

[Laura Nielsen <lsn@bellsouth.net>]

Heidi is correct.  From late spring to fall, it does not cool down much at night;
high 70s thru mid 80s are normal nighttime temps in N. Fla. The only benefit
would be escaping that blazing sub-tropical sun. However, the humidity problems
still exists. Cooling is especially difficult because the humidity is so high
that sweat does not evaporate; hence very little cooling for human and/or horse.
