Re: [RC] hot weather - Merryben

Nancy Twight, Cool Off Sportswear, 324 Old Adobe Road, Watsonville CA 95076  831-761-3363.  She is usually outside until dark.  She also trains horses.
 
Cool Off is a chamois like material that holds a lot of water and stays cool for a long time.  I use the bandana and the strips for the mane.  There are also vests for people and a cooler for the top of the horse's head.  Jazon Wonders always wears the vest.  I don't really like wearing one.  But I do love the bandana. 
 
Once she made a horse cooler but that was a story in itself.  Julie Suhr and I were to try it on Julie's horse at Castlerock.  Julie hands the thing to me and I go DOWN to the creek and soak it.  Well, full of water, it weighed about 150 lbs.  I staggered UP the hill to the vet area and it was so heavy, we could not get it on the horse.  End of that experiment......mb
