Re: Drying off with coolers

["Cynthia Eyler" <eyler@mindspring.com>]

A couple of years ago Teddy Lancaster described a method which has worked
for me.

Use two coolers, one layered on top of the other, and then wrap the horse's
belly with a couple of elastic surcingles.  Fairly quickly, the moisture is
wicked out, all the way to the outer layer, leaving the horse and the inner
layer dry.  Ideally, I like to use coolers with fitted necks.
