That's what I'd do too, if I had my horse at home.  But he's on pasture board so
I can't put him in a stall and ask the barn owner to turn him out when he's dry.

I'll continue with the cooler-under-blanket method.  Sounds like everyone thinks
that's enough (and may even be *more* than enough).

Thanks,
