Re: [RC] Temperature Variance in Working Horses - Joe Long

So, has anyone a clue as to temperature in a resting horse (around 101) and  
a horse working on a hot day?  


When I was riding "up front" in hot and humid rides in the East, it wasn't
unusual to arrive at vet checks with a temp of 104 - 105 degrees.  I would not
leave a vet check unless his temp was below 103 degrees.  I considered an
arrival temp over 105 degrees to be  a "red flag" requiring immediate action to
cool him down.

I don't have any data for riding in low humidity.


Has anyone come up with the means to measure (such as the HRM) temperature  
while working?


I tried to find something like that when I was living in Alabama, and never did.
