Re: [RC] Heat and Conditioning - heidiI seem to recall reading that this is true for older horses as well - their skin tends to lose some of its elasticity as they age, making it slower to spring back. When I read this (I can't remember where), I went out and tested our horses - our 29 yr old did have more tenting than the younger ones. A one-rat study, but...Heidi? Have you experienced this? Yes--and I suspect that is also due to less subcutaneous body fat, although there are likely other factors as well with age...
