[RC] Humidity & Sweating - rides2farBy the same token, I think horses > do better when they can drink out of streams or springs that remain somewhat> cool, or if the water truck just came around with a fresh fill-up for the> tanks, than they do if the water has been sitting there several hours in a> tank in the sunshine on a hot day... Kaboot hates cold water. Hardly touches a stream, but give him a tire track where the water is shallow and warm and he'll drink and drink and drink! I did a triathlon and the guy handing out water had ice water...I couldn't drink it but I will chug a lug room temp water...so I guess to each his own. At least my horse and I are compatible. He and I both handle heat and humidity very well...to the point that my students have to beg me to turn on the air conditioner. :-) Angie ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
